"Kamikaze" (also titled "Kamakaze" on the clean version) is a song by American rapper Lil Mosey. It is the first track from his debut studio album, Northsbest, released on October 19, 2018. Produced by Royce David and Kid Culture, it is built around a "Never Lie" sample by Immature. Lyrically, Lil Mosey gives the impression that he and his friends are ready for anything. Although not released as a single, the song quickly became a hit upon its music video release four days after Northsbest was released. "Kamikaze" peaked at number 97 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and has become one of Mosey's most popular songs.
