THA STREET ADDICTION

[Machine Translation] Repzen Central Shizuoka, a city yet to be discovered. The hot town that gave birth to Jirocho Shimizu. Time has passed, times have changed, and the framework of "delinquents" has broadened, but in order to escape from their own environment and evolve themselves, there was a group of martial artists who took to the streets and fought with words. The name of the group was "Sugar Cru. The SUGAR STYLE has already begun to be heard by some rapers and the HIP HOP industry in Japan, and is steadily spreading. In his hometown of Shizuoka, SUGAR CRU is the oldest CREW among all the active CREWs in Japan, and he has been active in his own events and activities, and his popularity is unrivaled. The second track "THA STREET ADDICTION," the title track following "INTRO," is a dope PBL track with street-addicting vibes. The third track "WACK MC'S KILLA," the tenth track "LIKE A SAPPHIRE," and the thirteenth track "SOLDIER pt. 2" are the essence of Shizuoka hardcore HIP HOP. Since this is the first album, all 18 tracks were produced by trackmaker PBL, and only one of them features a featured artist. At first, we did not intend to have an outsider participate in the project, but in response to the passion of Tomogen, a trusted artist, we decided to have only one person participate in the project. The 17th track, "Yaritai yaritai dairi" (All you can do is fuck as much as you want), was a big hit at a live performance in Shizuoka, and with the addition of Tomogen, the song has become even more of a badass hit. In this album, the unique sound created by PBL (which can truly be called SUGAR SOUND) is fused with the dopeiness and lyrics of GOMA DA FLYBEATS, MUSH, and BOUKUN, which bare the GHETTO SOUL, and a thrilling aspect that is rarely seen in the current Japanese scene is also peeked into. The mix is a new development in Osaka, Japan. The mix was done by Hi-A+Production, an up-and-coming production team from Osaka, and the entire album is a high quality work of art. This is truly an inexperienced album that exposes street, hardcore, male, and vulnerability, and will surely remain in the minds of those who hear it.

レペゼンセントラル静岡、未だ見ぬ街。あの清水次郎長を生み出し育んだ熱い街。時は流れ、時代は変わり、不良という枠組みも幅広くなり己の環境から抜け出すため、自己の進化のため、ストリートに身を置き言葉を武器に戦う武脳派集団がいた。その名も「SUGAR CRU」。すでに一部のRAPPERや日本のHIP HOP業界では噂になり始め、着々とSUGAR STYLEは浸透している。地元静岡では、今現在活躍するCREWの中でも一番古くから存在するCREWであり、現在も自身のイベントや、活動実績や人気、どれをとっても右に出る者はいなく、地元では待ちに待った待望の1stアルバムとなった。その内容だがINTROに続く2曲目のタイトル曲"THA STREET ADDICTION"からPBLのドープなトラックにストリート中毒全開のVIBESを聞かせてくれる。また3曲目WACK MC'S KILLAや10曲目LIKE A SAPPHIRE、13曲目SOLDIER pt.2等、静岡ハードコアHIP HOPの真骨頂を体験できるであろう。今回は初のアルバムなので、全18曲プロデュースはトラックメイカーのPBLが担当しており、フューチャリングアーティストも1人のみ。DOBERMAN INCのTOMOGENから是非この曲は一緒にやらせて欲しいとの要望があり、当初は外部の人間に参加してもらうつもりはなかったが信頼できるアーティストTOMOGENの熱い気持ちに答え、唯一の参加となった。その17曲目"ヤリタイ放題"は、地元静岡のLIVEではヘッズ達が大合唱する程のビッグSHITで、TOMOGENが加わりさらに激ヤバSHITに仕上がっている。このアルバムではPBLの作り出す独特なSOUND(まさにSUGAR SOUNDといってもいい)がドープさや、GHETTO SOUL剥き出しのGOMA DA FLYBEATS、MUSH、BOUKUNのリリックと融合し、現在の日本のシーンにはなかなか見られないスリリングな面も覗かせている。そしてMIXには大阪の新進気鋭のプロダクションチーム、Hi-A+Productionが参加しており、作品全体を通してハイクオリティな作品に仕上がっている。これはまさに未経験なアルバムであり、ストリート、ハードコア、男、そして弱さ、全てをさらけ出したこのアルバムはきっと耳に届いた者の頭の中に残り、
