Two Thousand Twenty Foesum

[Machine Translation] Foesum collaborated with Snoop Doggy Dogg (now Snoop Dogg), who was a close friend and hometown friend during the Perfection era, and their debut album "Perfection" released in 1996 after changing their name is still a hip-hop classic. Foesum, a legendary West Coast group with a career spanning more than 30 years, has released many high-level albums at its own pace and has maintained a high level of popularity not only in its home country of the United States, but also in Europe, Asia, and even here in Japan. However, in 2024, one of the main rappers, T-Dubb, passed away suddenly. Fans from all over the world have been quietly watching over his movement, but... the remaining members, MNMSTA and DJ Glaze, have miraculously resurrected the band! The new album is the first original album since "What Legends Are Made Of" released in 2016, and the first new album in about 9 years! The album is dedicated to T-Dubb, as the year of his death in the title suggests, and even though the lineup has changed, you can strongly feel that the royal West Coast style that is his specialty remains the same, and the album is full of both gory G-Funk and mellow, smooth, laid-back music. The album is a must have for fans of G-Funk and laid-back, mellow and smooth music. Bo Roc ( The Dove Shack ), a singer who has collaborated with Foesum on many great songs such as "In The Wind" and "Runnin' Game", joins the band!

前身のグループであるPerfection時代に同郷で近しい関係だったデビュー前のSnoop Doggy Dogg (現Snoop Dogg)ともコラボレーションし、改名後の1996年にリリースされたデビューアルバム『Perfection』が今でもヒップホップ・クラシックとして語り継がれているウエストコーストレジェンドなグループ、Foesum (フォーサム)。30年以上のキャリアを誇り、マイペースな活動ながら高水準の作品を多数リリースして本国アメリカだけでなくヨーロッパやアジア、そしてここ日本でも高い人気を保ち続けていたものの2024年にメインラッパーのひとり、T-Dubbが急逝。世界中のファンがその動向を静かに見守っていましたが・・・残されたメンバーのMNMSTAとDJ Glazeにより奇跡の復活! オリジナルアルバムとしては2016年発表の『What Legends Are Made Of』以来となる約9年ぶりのニューアルバムがリリース! T-Dubbの亡くなった年をタイトルに冠していることからもわかるとおり本作はT-Dubbに捧げた作品になっており、編成は変わっても持ち味である王道のウエストコーストスタイルに変わりはなし、というのを強く感じさせ、ゴリゴリのG-FUNK系ありメロウでスムースなレイドバック系あり、とファンならば間違いなしな内容になっている! "In The Wind"や"Runnin' Game"などこれまでにFoesumと数々の名コラボを生んできたシンガー、Bo Roc (The Dove Shack)が参加!
