Hardcore Kabuki rapper MC Boshi's first EP, "H-I-P-H-O-P FROM FAR EAST JAPAN," is now available.
The first track, the title track "H-I-P-H-O-P FROM FAR EAST JAPAN" is the result of four years of trial and error in beat approach, incorporating the Japanese roots of the Japanese flow to the sampled beats of Gagaku:Etenraku.
The second song, "AMENOUZUME," is a love song about a real-life memory of love.
The third song, "KAKURENBO," raps about his own real-life experiences of frustration and how he got back up through music.
The fourth song, "EEEDOMMMM - Yuta "Cat" Hamamoto's Theme (NIGIMI-TAMA)," is the theme song for martial artist Yudai "Cat" Hamamoto, and is a different mix of the (ARAMI-TAMA) version that was used at RIZIN 42.
The song incorporates the Japanese roots of the song, such as Norito, Kabuki, Shigin, and Minyo, while showing various expressions of the song. The songs are a prayer for listeners to rise up and take up the challenge again, no matter how harsh and difficult the situation may be.
