AKTHESAVIOR and sagun have released their new single “Dear World,” the fifth and final preview of the rapper & lo-fi producer’s forthcoming joint record u r not alone. Serving as the opener to the album – which officially releases in its entirety on April 5, 2024 via Platoon – “Dear World,” aptly captures the project’s meditative reflections on solidarity and optimism beneath a bed of looping beats that float like a daydream.

“This is my letter to the world,” says AK. “Creating this song during the heart of the pandemic, I was home in my room a lot thinking about the world and my purpose very deeply. I had some friends who lost not only their jobs, but family members on top of everything else. I was inspired to make something that feels uplifting; a reminder to persevere and know that you are not alone no matter what situation you live through.”

Consisting of fourteen tracks that blend AK & sagun’s worlds of hip-hop and lo-fi, u r not alone features a studded lineup of guest collaborators – from Pink Siifu and Mick Jenkins, to Erick The Architect, A$AP Twelvyy, Jaws of Love (Kelcey Ayer of Local Natives), and Azizi Gibson. The project ruminates on self-actualization, perseverance through isolation and the search for community within a social landscape that feels increasingly disconnected.
