Last week, d4vd unveiled an anime video set to his breakthrough hit “Romantic Homicide” to herald the release of the EP and new merch drops. The video opens with d4vd emerging from a giant rose before fully immersing the viewer in his cinematic universe, complete with a battle with his alter ego IT4MI. “I’ve been working on a way to bridge the gaps in my artistry with elements of cinema. The character you see here today is named “IT4MI” which means pain in Japanese. Inspired by manga and anime he is the main antagonist of my entire project. He wears a blindfold for the sole purpose of not being held accountable for the pain he causes” d4vd explains of the character. Welcome to the introduction of the “4” characters in the d4vd universe.
