Kakusei (覚醒 Kakusei) is a 1998 studio album by Japanese hip hop producer DJ Krush.
Ned Raggett of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, calling it "another invigorating, moody, and powerful release." Dave Segal of The Stranger said, "Krush certainly isn't the first producer to apply minimalism to hiphop, but unlike nearly every other work in the art form, Kakusei seems to exist in a hermetic world, a stark temple of funk."
In 2014, it was listed by Metro Weekly as one of the "20 Great Stoner Albums".
