Lyric

Q. What is hood star?

Scizor a.k.a. EnTai

俯く街の背中を押すこのフロー

俺も選べない地元を愛してるよ

自ら命を断つ人を減らしたい

見てみたいよ この音楽の限界

冷やかしが反転 応援になってきた

半端ならいらねぇ 覚悟は持ってきた

東京で出稼ぎ これは戦いさ

地元に全て持ち帰るため

踏んだステップ 暮らしが全部

反映されたメロディーが吹かす風

でも忠犬ハチ公みたいには待ってられねぇ

ハチ公前改札みたい 夢の交差点で待ち合わせ

地元のためとか恩着せ

がましいこと言わねぇ 自分のため

人口減少 地域活性化 観光客の取り込み

小中の総合でやる綺麗事に聞こえる事

音楽で本当に変える

これが俺の思う ローカルのhood star

君の言うhoodは住所で

俺は東京で1度たりとも忘れたことはねぇ

その場しのぎの っぽい言葉

口だけだったやつはもう動いてない

HIPHOPとかじゃねぇけど

東海オンエアがロールモデルか

俺も地元横手 上げる経済効果

きっと交通系ICだって使えるようになる

亡くなったあの人の思いも背負ってる

なんてまだ歌いたくなかったと

馳せる褪せぬ思いは歌詞に入れて

今はまだ流せない涙

秋田弁 名残でナチュラル多い濁点

あんべいい流れ持ってくるこのvoiceで確変

横手の次止まる駅 各停

栄華築く戦いfeel like a後三年

人口減少 地域活性化 観光客の取り込み

小中の総合でやる綺麗事に聞こえる事

音楽で本当に変える

これが俺の思う ローカルのhood star

    Q. What is hood star?

    Scizor a.k.a. EnTai

Scizor a.k.a. EnTai's 2nd EP "PLUS" stands as a sequel-like continuation of the album released in December last year, while also working as a compelling project on its own. The EP carries elements that connect with the singles released prior to it, highlighting the strengths of EnTai's past work while revealing new aspects of his artistry. Guest appearances include Lueur and ZAqRO.

One of the tracks revisits a song originally uploaded to SoundCloud by a collaborator who suddenly became unreachable last year. EnTai reinterprets and re-sings the piece, embedding his own message within it. Both the hook and verses are built upon the foundation of the original song while carefully preserving its atmosphere, weaving in messages to the collaborator, EnTai's signature flow, and references to song titles from works they once created together. Listening alongside the original version allows the meaning and emotion of the lyrics to stand out even more, expressing EnTai's hope that they may one day create music together again.

Another track features Lueur, where the two artists-both primarily known for producing hyperpop-step into the sound of hyperflip. Built around the theme of earning "something delicious" (in other words, achieving good results) through one's own ability, the song expresses a mindset of pursuing what you truly want without holding back and taking action to seize the future you desire. The aggressive hyperflip sound, combined with the pair's smooth rap and melodic delivery, creates a fast-paced track that feels over in an instant and naturally invites repeated listens.

ZAqRO appears on another track that uses the gaming term "leveling" as a metaphor for steadily building a strong foundation. Over an emotional track incorporating elements of garage and Jersey club, the constantly shifting flows bring dynamic energy to the song and keep listeners engaged from start to finish.

The EP also includes a song that explores the idea of a "hood star." Every hometown has its own version of what a hood star can be. In this track, EnTai reflects on his hometown of Yokote City in Akita Prefecture, where school classes often discuss themes such as "How can we increase the population?" and "How can we attract visitors by sharing the region's charm?" Through this song, he expresses the belief that a true hood star might be someone who tries to change such realities through their music and activities. It is a piece that carries a sincere hope that the challenges facing his hometown-including the issue of people taking their own lives-can one day begin to change.

While maintaining a clear connection to his previous works, "PLUS" is filled with new challenges and expressions, presenting a strong snapshot of where Scizor a.k.a. EnTai stands today. It is a project that further establishes him as an artist to watch closely in the coming year.
