Lyric

GRIND IT OUT (feat. WELL-DONE)

YUKSTA-ILL

諦めたワケじゃねぇ

見てみたくもあるタラレバ偏

やさぐれる まるで別れたて

たわけが増え

抱えたPAIN

手なずけやがてマイメン

弱者の眼差し 悪魔の囁き

CAN I GETTA FAME?

WORD 昼間の顔からの180°逆サイド

真夜中の街に放て起爆剤

イナたくハードにこれも一つのREAL

苛立ちも少し

茶を濁す時

まるで白黒黄

混ざる異国の地?

NAH 起きろ守護神

ブレず記録保持

永久に持続初心

費やしてきた時間分 利息欲しい

ずる賢くしとく貯金

GRIND IT OUT

GRIND IT OUT

GRIND IT OUT

GRIND IT OUT

腐ったみたいな しけた面で歩いて

酒を飲んで調子乗って

人の前じゃ騒いで

家に帰り横になって天井を見つめて

やれる やれる

繰り返して朝を迎えてく

現場 昼ご飯 ベッド代わり軽トラ

上を見れば青空 今日を越えれば

明日もっとやれるさ 大丈夫 大丈夫

自分奮い立たせて 締める靴紐

ここまで逃げてた

あの頃とは変わった

口だけ 言われて

このままでは終われねぇ

だってそうだろ? 俺もお前も

守るべきモノが今はずっとずっと

そこにあるだろ

甲斐性も金もなんもないが

愛はあるぜ

悩んで 挫けて

前を向いて進むページ

肩の力抜いて今日もSMOKE

そして働け

山を越えて 谷を越えて

俺は掴む万馬券

MONKEY OFF MY BACK

It is natural for a rapper to release a full-length album.
The legendary US hip hop magazine "THE SOURCE"'s mic rating system was not even evaluated unless it was a full album.
Flashy singles, compactly condensed mini albums, and impressive verses in guest songs are of course good.
However, the full album is still the guideline for measuring the rapper's ability and capacity.

YUKSTA-ILL, who represents the Tokai area from Suzuka Mie, is one of "THE RAPPER" who has a strong desire to make a full album.
The 1st "QUESTIONABLE THOUGHT" which seeks answers to the thoughts that still have their own doubts,
the 2nd "NEO TOKAI ON THE LINE" which sieved himself on the orbit of NEO TOKAI,
the 3rd "DEFY" which showed his unshakable mental strength while looking out over the world,
all of these are full-sized hip-hop albums created with a clear concept in mind, with an awareness of the origins, developments, and conclusions.

And after 4 years, he is now back with a full-length album.
The 4th full album titled "MONKEY OFF MY BACK" will be released to the world from his own label "WAVELENGTH PLANT" which he just launched.

"Time was in abundance due to the epidemic. As a result, songs were mass-produced.
Problem was since I continued working without being conscious of the album, I had a hard time finding a cohesion," he says.
Finally, after all the setbacks and trial and error, it eventually took shape into the coherent work that he wanted.
It goes without saying that the various events experienced during that period, such as growing pain and change in personal life, were strongly reflected in his songs.

Sublimate daily conflicts, financial problems, and negativity that makes you want to turn your eyes away into art.
Put yourself in the local area, enjoy basketball, go home to your wife, and write lyrics. Even the depictions of casual everyday life are dramatic.
The guest appearances are all set in the right places, and the dreamy sound production will spur the perfect season to start something.
Like the legendary NAS who broke the long silence and showed a record setting run of four full album releases from 2020 to 2022.
YUKSTA-ILL, who has reached an unparalleled realm, now resumes spitting bars towards the eardrums of the listener.
