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 creating music during the era when SoundCloud rappers were leaving a major mark on the scene, launching his career under the "Lil" moniker like many of his peers. His lyrics, while straightforward and easy to follow, are crafted with a sense of depth, staying rooted in everyday reality while remaining approachable. This balance has earned him resonance not only among hip-hop fans but also across a wider audience. He released his first EP Jikan Geijutsu in 2021, followed by To me in 2023 and Traveling in 2024. Since 2023, he has been hosting the Hip Hop / Bass Music party HOPES at Nakameguro Solfa.
