Description

[Machine Translation] The first full-length album by SUMICO PLUE, a beat maker from Reppen Fukuoka who has provided beats for Gaki Ranger, Mamushi MC's, and others, is now complete, a masterpiece of Japanese rap from Kyushu is here! The MC lineup invited for this album are rappers who are active in Fukuoka, Oyafuko-dori, Kumamoto, etc. and have ties to Kyushu, making this a HIP HOP album directly from Kyushu. Kumamoto's "Mamushi MC's", Kumamoto's living legend who recently released a limited analog 7-inch single that has become a hot topic throughout Kyushu, shows their momentum on the second track, while KEN VOLCANO of DOSMOCCOS delivers a funky electro-style beat and JB's signature funky rap on the third track. The third track is by KEN VOLCANO of DOSMOCCOS, who raps funky rap like JB on a funky electro beat. RAKABEE, who hails from Yamaga, Kumamoto, was invited for the sixth track, and his unique husky flow and funky piano beats showcase his original rapping as only he can do. The 10th track, "JAZZ HIP HOP," is a highly addictive song with a mellow beat that is very satisfying to listen to. The eleventh track is a mellow, Showa-era JAZZ coffee shop style beat that Sumico Plue is known for, while Tokyo- and Fukuoka-based lyricist Q-ILL writes about his daily life and thoughts since relocating to Fukuoka. As the song changes to a more DOPE tone in the latter half, Potemkin appears on stage from FAT GIRL RANGERS. In the 14th song, Potemkin teamed up with Chicago Random, who had not written a new song in a while, to create a verse that quotes the phrase from "Karate Chop" by FAT GIRL RANGERS. Finally, SMOKIN EKS TENSION, a DOPE unit from Oyafuko-dori, spits out ILL lyrics over a tannic sampled beat, creating the atmosphere of a famous club base. The instrumental tracks inserted here and there are of a composition and quality that can be played by DJs on their own, and when listened to as a whole, it gives the illusion that you are listening to a DJ mix. This is a gold standard of Kyushu hip-hop for Japanese rap fans all over Japan.
