Dropping as the second single in an intense, completely independent weekly release project, "Smolder's ash" marks a powerful step forward. Shifting gears from his previous boom-bap style, Warushi delivers a stellar mellow hip-hop track built on a rich, emotional 80s R&B-infused beat, showcasing the most melodious and soulful flow of his career.
Centered around the theme of "finding one's path beyond setback," the track captures a unique and raw duality. It is rooted in the everyday reality of navigating modern society as an ordinary citizen living in Osaka and Sakai, while simultaneously holding onto a fierce artistic pride-the unyielding urge to express what only he can.
As time relentlessly ticks away, Warushi wears his melancholy with grace. Delivering the heartfelt punchline, "I'm not the only one, I'm nothing special," this mature message song speaks truth to every adult pushing through their own inner struggles.

    A rapper and producer born and raised in Shirasagi a small, gritty neighborhood in Sakai, Osaka. He first captured the hearts of true hip hop heads with his 2015 independent debut album, Tha Pell Mell Novel. Since then, through the release of two subsequent albums and numerous high profile collaborations, he has undeniably proven his caliber. Refusing to compromise his artistic integrity, he continuously elevates and redefines his expression as both a lyricist and a beatmaker on his own terms.

Whether riding a classic Boom Bap beat or experimenting with modern textures, the core of his artistry remains unshakable. His lyrics paint a vivid picture of the midnight struggles raw, gritty, and fiercely resilient speaking directly to those fighting through social absurdities and the gap between reality and their ideals. He is a truly independent artist, continuing to champion a timeless, universal brand of hip hop for those who refuse to give up in the dark.
