Producer audiot909, a pioneer of Japanese Amapiano, has teamed up with rapper QN, formerly of SIMI LAB and recently active in the unit Q/N/K with Naruyoshi Kikuchi, to release a single.
The song is a reinterpretation of amapiano, the latest evolution of house music that originated in South Africa, from a Japanese perspective.
The combination of the genre's signature bass sound "log drums," chill vibes, and QN's mellow rap makes for a one-of-a-kind sound.
This song will present new possibilities for the mixing of Japanese rap and Amapiano.
