Early in the Morning

The independent band SATTU CREW, rooted in 90's Hip-Hop and Jazz,
has released an album from COCOLO Bland, a streetwear brand based in the Honmachi area of Osaka, Japan, founded in 2001.

The lead single from the album release, "Early in the Morning" inherits the previous Hip-Hop sounds while incorporating influences from California style sounds like Sublime and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The album introduces a completely new concept of guitar-less rock, blending elements from A Tribe Called Quest and Motown.

Japanese rap, with its 90's Hip-Hop vibe, speaks directly, carrying a message for people living in this fast-paced modern society:
"If you think too much, you might even forget how to feel."
The hook features soaring horn phrases and a groovy bass-line reminiscent of Motown, crafted uniquely by the band's approach, creating an irresistible dance-inducing sound.

Furthermore, in the second verse, inspired by DAS EFX's Real Hip-Hop, the catchy phrases and gospel inspired sound, culminating in a unique grand and freaky tune, only jazz musicians can deliver.

The song incorporates various roots music, making it a fresh and an innovative addition to the band's sound.
