#TheMoment brings us a set of instrumentals with Japanese #HipHop artists delivering vocals. (I see D.J. Krush and a few other familiar names from the #JHop / #JRap scene included in the track listing there.)

It's been a while since I've posted any #JRap or #JHop on here. But here's the latest from #IncredibleCoffee.

This is not the first time I've posted Japanese #HipHop on my account, and it won't be the last. It seems like a niche genre for a white guy from the Midwest, but I dove in headfirst when COVID-19 first hit.

(Somewhere in that track list full of kanji and/or other Japanese characters, I can recognize Meiso.)

Rap duo Creepy Nuts has Japan's song of the year so far with "Bling-Bang-Bang-Born," a rapid-fire earworm that is winning over Japanese hip-hop heads and pre-schoolers in equal measure. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2024/07/03/music/creepy-nuts-bbbb-japan-rap/ #culture #music #jrap #rap #hiphop
Is Creepy Nuts' catchy, rapid-fire 'Bling-Bang-Bang-Born' the song of the year?

The fast-paced ode to a style called Jersey club is everywhere in Tokyo, and it may just be the rap duo's key to international success.
