27 is a four-track EP by mezz created in collaboration with emerging producer Lil Valley. Reflecting a shift from unease about getting older toward embracing who she is today, the project captures life at 27 through work, music, romance and time with friends.
Lil Valley handles beatmaking and production across all four tracks with mezz involved from the beatmaking stage. Together they bring club-ready rap and dream-pop textures into a sound that accompanies candid lyrics rooted in everyday life. As the lives of those around her change, mezz explores the tension between feeling restless and holding on to her dreams, documenting both her uncertainty and her determination to keep making music.

Artist Profile

  • MEZZ

    rapper / singer based in Tokyo. In 2022, she made her debut with "Gyal Drill," a reinterpretation of a beat based on UK drill, mixed with singing and rapping. The song gradually gained attention not only in Japan but also from worldwide DJs such as Ryan Hemsworth and Porter Robinson. Since then, she has expanded her collaborations beyond Japanese artists like Nakamura Minami, working with international talents such as Sharda (a.k.a. Murlo), a UK garage producer based in England, and Roska, a key figure in the UK Funky scene based in London. She continues to establish herself as a global artist through these collaborations. In 2024, she performed at Suara Festival 2024 in Bali, Indonesia, and also appeared at Summer Sonic 2024, one of Japan's largest music festivals. Moreover, she showcased her talent in music production by writing the lyrics and providing vocal coaching for various projects, including the song "Running Out," performed by the character Mia Iriomote (played by actress Koharu Sugawara) in the Fuji TV drama "Ya Boy Kongming!", and the track "MEmories" by popular YouTuber Toua, who enjoys tremendous support from Japan's youth. She is a new entity that revives the culture of the 00s in various forms, exploring new styles of J-POP in a bilingual English-Japanese style.
