The deluxe album "Dos City (Deluxe)" includes Dos Mono's debut album "Dos City" released in March 2019, plus the latest song "Theater D (Encore)" used in the official video for "RIZIN LANDMARK 5", one of Japan's largest martial arts events, to be held on April 29, 2023 at Yoyogi National Gymnasium (1st gymnasium).
In addition to elements of free jazz and progressive rock, which are their forte, the album emphasized the "twist" and "shift" of the beat by sampling retro video game music, etc. This album work was a big hit at the time.
The 14 tracks include "in 20XX," which is still one of their best-known songs, "Schizo Indian," in which a thick beat rises from the sound of a saxophone, and "Clean Ya Nerves," which seems to twist the subtleties of free jazz into a beat, as well as skits that reinforce the album's world view.
Zo Zhit, TaiTan, and Botsu aka NGS are a hip-hop trio known for their experimental sound and high-energy live performances. They have gained enthusiastic support from various scenes both in Japan and abroad. In 2018, they announced a contract with LA label Deathbomb Arc, and released their debut album "Dos City" in March 2019. Since then, they have established a firm position in the Japanese music scene through their performances at various events and festivals, as well as through their self-produced event "Theater D," which is held irregularly at live houses, clubs, movie theaters, and online. The trio's collaborations are not limited to the music industry, as they have also worked with Audrey Tang, Taiwan's Minister of Digital, and Yasutaka Tsutsui, a giant in the world of Japanese literature. They have also collaborated with Ryohei Kamide, a producer of HardBoiled Gourmet Report, to produce the experimental late-night TV show "Futa," which was accompanied by an album called "Larderello." Their single "ŌBO" was used as the opening theme song for "HITOSHI MATSUMOTO Presents DOCUMENTAL Season10," among other achievements. In addition, the trio has crossed genres and collaborated with artists such as UK rock band "black midi" and US hip-hop group "Injury Reserve". They have recently successfully completed a European tour with black midi in October 2022, solidifying their position as an outlier in the global hip-hop scene that is currently gaining attention.
