Feel

[Machine Translation] RF's first album, released last August, sold out 100 copies in one week at the now-defunct HMV Shibuya store, and was picked up by DJ charts and radio programs in the US and Europe. While his second album "Relation" focusing on old and new Hip-Hop classics such as Buddha Brando / Ningen Genjisho and Jay-Z / Japanese dreamin', his third album with the theme of "Summer" has already dropped! The third album, "Relation", is RF's first attempt at a summer album with a vocalist, and is full of RF's signature groove-filled summer breezin' sounds, including exhilarating Brazilian jazz, deep and spiritual mellow instrumentals, and more! Kool & The Gang's summer anthems have been sampled by numerous Hip Hop artists, including Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince / Summertime and Gang Starr / DJ Premier in deep concentration, and the album features Chihiro ( PIECE OF PEACE ) on vocals and Shoji Haruna on saxophone. The Earth, Wind & Fire's dance classic, which has been sampled by Mr. X & Mr. Z / Drink old gold and Blackstreet / Givin' you all my lovin', is transformed into a deep and emotional number with M-1, which features Chihiro (PIECE OF PEACE) on vocals and Shoji Haruna on saxophone. M-2, a tight and groovy version of The Earth, Wind & Fire's dance classics sampled by Mr. X & Mr. Z / Drink old gold and Blackstreet / Givin' you all my lovin', M-3, a drum'n'bass reworking of Lee Perry's floor anthem that attracts dubstep freaks, and The Salsoul Orchestra's timeless masterpiece that has been remade by Nuyorican Soul and is now a hot topic. M-4, a danceable acoustic instrumental version of the immortal masterpiece by The Salsoul Orchestra, which was also remade by Nuyorican Soul, M-5, a vocal version of Baden Powell's masterpiece rapped by Shing02 and sampled by Nujabes, featuring Monica, who is half Japanese and half Brazilian, and A M-6, a sunset mellow song that brings Gary Bartz's spiritual jazz masterpiece, which was sampled by Tribe Called Quest, back to life in the modern age, and M-7, a summer memory song.
