The Tokyo-based HIPHOP crew, URBANHOOD, has released their much-anticipated EP "WHERE IS YOUR HHOOD?" This release features six tracks that perfectly blend old-school beats from jazz, soul, and boombap with fresh flows, creating a groovy and immersive listening experience. The contrasting vocal styles within the group are particularly notable: member S.W. brings a cool, deep tone, while SHINGO offers a higher, mellow voice, creating a unique groove that's hard to find in other teams.Although they are not yet well-known, it's clear that URBANHOOD is on the path to shining bright like a diamond in the world of HIPHOP. This album marks the first step in their musical journey, and it's definitely something you'll want to experience if you're interested in witnessing the transformation of a raw gem into a polished diamond.
**URBANHOOD** is a HIP HOP crew composed of childhood friends born in 2000. Based in Setagaya, they blend rap with a sound rooted in JAZZ and SOUL. While respecting the BOOMBAP and SOUL cultures that are fading in Japan's modern rap scene, they continue to evolve by incorporating contemporary elements. The music video for "JAZZY," featured on their debut album *WHERE IS YOUR HOOD?*, was directed by Ken Haraki, whose work has gained attention for its stunning visuals. Be sure to keep an eye on their style as they continue to grow.
