In early August 2026, Harlem-born rapper Liim announced his second studio album, ‘A Sunflower Garden In Harlem Is Hard To Find’, scheduled for release on August 28. To promote the project, he released the single ‘1980’ featuring AJRadico, a track inspired by 1980s hip-hop aesthetics and films such as ‘Paid in Full’ and ‘Juice’. The upcoming album was intended to chronicle his personal journey and growth from his upbringing in Harlem’s Grant Houses.

Following the scheduled date, the album was released. Critics noted the 22-year-old artist’s blend of jazz-funk and swag rap, characterized by lush chords and hydraulic basslines. While the production was described as exquisite, the work was characterized as an exploration of repetitive romantic themes by an artist still refining his lyrical message.
