Rapper Lil taro boy, who continues to explore expression without straying from the everyday real, releases his new track Funeral.
While staying true to his direct lyrical style, Lil taro boy takes on an even more prose-like choice of words in this work. The result is lyrics that carry a human warmth while highlighting a distinctly cool stance.
The beat delivers the sound of contemporary trap rooted in the US South-where darkness and softness coexist. Yet it strips away the street's typical violence, offering something introspective and emotional, unlike anything else in the Japanese rap scene.
Tokyo-based rapper Lil taro boy began making music during the era when SoundCloud rappers were leaving a major impact on the scene, adopting the "Lil" moniker like many of his peers. His lyrics are straightforward and easy to follow, yet carry a sense of depth-rooted in the plain realities of everyday life and marked by an approachable expression that resonates not only with hip-hop fans but with a wider audience. He has released three EPs to date, and in late 2025, he dropped his first full-length album "Terrible Transition." Since 2023, he has been hosting the hip hop - focused party "HOPES" at Nakameguro Solfa.
