About 3Li¥en
3Li¥en drew widespread attention with "Team Tomodachi GALS Remix," rising to the front line of the scene within just a year of starting her music career, making her a leading name among the new generation of female rappers.
Born in Japan, she spent her early childhood in Nigeria before moving to the United States, an unusual multinational background that led her to call herself an "alien" — belonging fully to none of Japan, Nigeria, or the US — and to take the name "3Li¥en."
Her music draws on roots in gospel and Afrobeat while ranging freely across hip-hop and auto-tune-driven hyperpop and trap, resulting in a borderless style.
With the ability to rap fluently in both Japanese and English, and a character further set apart by her use of Kansai dialect, she has built an enthusiastic following both in Japan and abroad. She appeared on the popular audition show "Rapstar Tanjou 2025," advancing all the way to the Camp Stage.
She was also selected for Apple Music's "Up Next Japan" program spotlighting rising talent, a mark of the high regard for her potential. In 2026, she featured on ANARCHY's track "Doudemoii," drawing further attention across generations.
