GOOD SMILE a.k.a. 87 The Finest, based in Kobe, has released his first mini EP, Kutu In - Da Kick's Rhyme -.

This work focuses on sneakers, an essential element of B-boy culture, which he considers the most important aspect of Hip Hop culture. As seen in his deep passion for fashion, the EP expresses his strong feelings toward sneakers, the close relationship between Hip Hop and fashion, and his deep respect for Hip Hop culture. Additionally, the project conveys a strong message against resellers, who have been considered a harmful presence in recent years.

His unique style is evident in both his lyrics and rhyming, making listeners reflect on the history of Hip Hop culture, the importance of looking beyond appearances, and the significance of having a deep passion for fashion.

The EP features DJ NEKO a.k.a. 2 cats, who is active in Kobe, and DJ NAPEY from CONQUEST orchestra, a legendary producer in Kobe, contributing their tracks. The result is a project that fully encapsulates his artistic vision.

The artwork, created by one of Kobe's most prominent graffiti writers, VERO ONE, samples the iconic THE TEN Air Jordan 1 HI Chicago, making for an eye-catching cover that seems ready to burst into action a design that any sneakerhead would admire.
