Liv.e &amp; Karriem first hinted at the idea of a thorough collaboration during several one-off live performances under the mysterious moniker GENA at New York\u2019s Nublu and the Detroit Jazz Festival earlier this year. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/liv-e-karriem-riggins-form-new-duo-gena-share-debut-video-circlesz\/\"><strong>The duo officially cemented their pairing last month with their first single as GENA, \u201cCirclesz\u201d.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><iframe title=\"GENA - HOWWEFLOW (Official Video)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t4Sj8KTIPp4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"GENA - HOWWEFLOW (Official Video)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t4Sj8KTIPp4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Along with the album announcement, the duo are also sharing a new offering from the forthcoming album with new single \u201cHOWWEFLOW\u201d and its accompanying music video, directed by Mackai Sharp. One of the more subdued tracks on the album, \u201cHOWWEFLOW\u201d draws on the hip-hop inspirations behind GENA with a looped, echoing chorus that captures the lightning in a bottle moment of Liv.e &amp; Karriem meshing their styles together seamlessly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On January 31st, GENA will be playing a live show in London at ICA (tickets HERE), following early performances together in New York, Detroit, and Karriem also popped out as a special guest with Liv.e for her set in New York on Earl\u2019s 3LW tour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Pleasure Is Yours is a byproduct of kinetic collaboration, with the album serving as the document of a conversation between two kindred musical spirits finding each other in real time. Together as GENA, the duo crafted an imaginative, amorphous body of work that overflows with silky melodies and a warm nostalgia for soul, hip-hop and R&amp;B, while leaving space for futuristic ideas and the alchemy of those genres being experimented with and innovated upon. The album is simultaneously analog and ethereal, mirroring how it was made over a series of virtual sessions with contributions from guest musicians like Isaiah Sharkey, James Francies and Telemakus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">GENA<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Pleasure Is Yours<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">February 27, 2026<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lex Records<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1.
