88rising (stylized as 88⬆), which was formerly known as CXSHXNLY (pronounced "cash only"), is an American record label founded in 2015 by Sean Miyashiro and Jaeson Ma. According to their website, Miyashiro describes it as a "hybrid management, record label, video production, and marketing company".[1]
The company has gained popularity as a music platform and record label primarily for Asian American artists such as Joji, Keith Ape, Rich Brian, and Niki. Miyashiro once stated that 88rising is "The Disney of Asian hip-hop".[2] In 2019, 88rising was awarded Label of the Year by Netease, one of the largest music streaming platforms in China.[3]
Headquartered in New York City, the company also has offices in Los Angeles and Shanghai.[4] Outside of its core group, the company has collaborated with other artists, most notably KOHH, CL, DPR Live, Yaeji, Phum Viphurit, Verbal, and Hikaru Utada.[5]
