XG set to release IYKYK

The second pre-release track from their 2nd mini album, on October 11! The track, inspired by ‘XG exploring the universe,’ features a sample of m-flo’s Prism!
XG has announced the release of IYKYK, the second pre-release track from their upcoming 2nd mini album “AWE,” set to drop on Friday October 11th.
“IYKYK” expresses XG’s bold challenge to break boundaries with new endeavors, portraying the members as they explore the limitless universe at lightspeed. The track invites listeners to join them on a journey to an uncharted and isolated dimension.
The track samples m-flo’s 2001 hit Prism and blends it with a rhythmic 2-Step beat, creating a sensation of drifting through space and heightening the excitement for the adventure ahead.
The chorus, featuring the phrase “IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW,” reflects the idea that those who get it will feel compelled to join XG on this journey to a new dimension.
The mini album “AWE” reflects the psychological process of awe that people experience when encountering a new presence— a mix of fear and curiosity as they come to accept it. This album aims to evoke that sense of awe and provide listeners with a unique experience of XG’s music in everyday life.
The album will be available in various versions: the XG version, featuring symbolic storytelling that represents XG’s worldview; the ALPHAZ version, a special package for XG OFFICIAL FANCLUB “ALPHAZ”; Solo versions showcasing individual covers and CD designs representing each member’s personality; and the Regular version, embodying the group’s identity as a whole. Following the positive response to their previous work, the VINYL version will also be available, with pre-orders now open on the US Store.
Recently, XG made waves by releasing “WOKE UP REMIXX (PROD BY JAKOPS)” on September 20, featuring prominent Japanese and Korean hip-hop artists Jay Park, OZworld, AKLO, Paloalto, VERBAL (m-flo), Awich, Tak, and Dok2. Additionally, members JURIN, HARVEY, MAYA, and COCONA made a surprise appearance on stage during Awich’s performance at “THE HOPE,” Japan’s largest HIP HOP festival, delivering a powerful performance of the track alongside Awich. Their dynamic showcase, filled with strong hip-hop identity, garnered significant attention and praise.
XG is currently on their first world tour, “The first HOWL.” Starting in Las Vegas on October 4, they will perform in eight cities across North America, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Grand Prairie, Sugar Land, Duluth, New York, and Chicago. Following the North American leg, the UK & Europe tour will kick off in Manchester on November 18 (local time) and continue through London, Berlin, Paris, Düsseldorf, Brussels, and Amsterdam, covering seven cities. In 2025, they will also hold eight additional shows across four cities in Japan: Nagoya, Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Osaka.
The second pre-release track from XG’s 2nd mini album “AWE,” titled “IYKYK,” will be available for streaming worldwide at midnight on Friday, October 11.

With their 1st Mini Album ‘NEW DNA,’ XG introduced themselves to the world as a new entity (X-GENE), marking the beginning of XG’s unique universe. Now, we aim to connect even more deeply with the world through the universal language of music. When a new presence emerges, people often feel a mix of fear and curiosity, experiencing a psychological process of awe as they come to accept it. XG’s 2nd Mini Album seeks to evoke this sense of awe, offering a special experience that integrates XG’s music into everyday life.
