Description
[Machine Translation] I'm going to change Japanese hip-hop. I'm going to change Japanese hip-hop. Arjuna, the most important member of kiLLa, a unique hip-hop crew from Shibuya, has released his first album "Lord Shaka" as a substitute for his name card. This album is a hybrid of hard and humorous music. Arjuna's first album "Lord Shaka" (read: Lord Shaka) is a lineup of songs with hard beats and heavy lyrics that add to the explosive power of the album. On the other hand, the inspiration from US trap music is incorporated into Japanese hip-hop, and the lyrics are full of humor and unique metaphors are used in the strong and incendiary lyrics. KEPHA and BLAISE, members of kiLLa (BLAISE is his own brother), are among the guest performers. As Arjuna himself says, "My life changed when I met my friends," his love for kiLLa is stronger than anyone else's. He is a man of many faces and realistic expressions. The theme of this album is to see how much he can create LIT music with his various expressions and real emotions in pursuit of Arjuna's own style. Arjuna had been struggling with the inability to accept his past music and release it due to his rapidly evolving sensibilities. One day, however, his mind blew up and he was able to complete this album in a very short period of time and with a very high density. The lead track, "Grandioso," was produced by Chaki Zulu, a well-known producer in the Japanese hip-hop world. GRANDIOSO" is the motto of the song, meaning "majestic and grand". It is a song that tells of the scale of the artist and the magnitude of his goals. The lyric "You can't see the bottom and the side" in the song means kiLLa on the side and Hayter on the bottom. At first glance, this may seem like a negative image of not interfering with one's friends, but in essence, it symbolizes that both Arjuna and the members of kiLLa are looking in the same direction (only upward). Private" is a song about memories of love. The song is a song about memories of love, with a relaxed flow of rap music that kiLLa takes to the gears in the chorus. Don't Touch" is a song that expresses anger at adults who try to interfere with art without respect. Hayter and the Player

Description in Japanese
Lord Shaka / Arjuna
「分からないやつは、聴かなくていい。俺が日本のヒップホップを変える。」渋谷から異彩を放つヒップホップクルー・kiLLaの最重要人物・Arjunaが名刺代わりの1stアルバム「Lord Shaka」をリリース。ハードさとユーモアをハイブリッドした本作。国内のラップシーンと一線を画す、日本のみならず海外も視野に入れたアートが完成した。Arjunaの1stアルバム「Lord Shaka」(読み:ロード・シャカ)は、ハードなビートに重いリリックが乗ることにより、爆発力に拍車がかかる曲が多くラインナップされている。一方、USのトラップミュージックからのインスピレーションを、日本のヒップホップに落とし込み、強く煽るリリックには独自の比喩表現が用いられており、ユーモアも満載だ。客演には、kiLLaのメンバーのKEPHAとBLAISEが参加(BLAISEは実弟)。「仲間との出会いで人生が変わった」とArjuna自身が語るように、kiLLaに対する愛は誰よりも強い。そんな彼のさまざまな表情やリアルな感情を詰めこみ、あくまでArjunaのスタイルを追求してLITな音楽をどれだけ創造できるかが本作のテーマだ。Arjunaはこれまで、著しく進化する自分の感性によって、過去に制作した音楽を受け入れることができず、リリースができない葛藤と戦っていた。だがある日を境に吹っ切れたマインドが転機となり、極めて高密度に、短期間でこのアルバムを完成させた。リード曲となる「GRANDIOSO」は、日本ヒップホップ界の名プロデューサー・Chaki Zulu氏が参加。「GRANDIOSO」は、曲想を表す標語で (堂々と、壮大に)という意味を持つ。自身のスケールの大きさと、目標の大きさを物語った楽曲だ。曲中には「下と横は見えません」というリリックがあるが、横がkiLLa、下がヘイターを意味する。これは、一見仲間に干渉しないというネガティブなイメージともとれるが、その本質はArjunaもkiLLaのメンバーも、同じ方向(上だけ)を向いているということの象徴である。「Private」は、恋愛の思い出を綴った1曲。ゆったりとしたフロウのラップからサビでギアがかかる展開も聴きどころとなっている。「Don't Touch」は、アートへの敬意がなく邪魔をしようとする大人たちへ怒りの感情をぶつけた一曲。「ヘイターとプレイヤー
