Lyric

A.M.C., a five-member hip-hop crew based in Kumagaya, Saitama-a city they refer to as "HOT TOWN"-has released a new track titled "Iiwake no Reretsu" (A String of Excuses). Built around a mid-tempo rhythm of approximately 96 BPM, the song offers a glimpse into the group's inner world, revealing both their vulnerabilities and their strengths.

The members of A.M.C. include MIK, who-as part of the collective MUSASABI-contributed to several tracks on the Namedaruma album *NORTHERNBLUE1.0.4.*; DJ MINE, who has built a strong track record in domestic DJ battles, including an appearance in the 2009 DMC Japan Final Battle; UNDERTONE, who draws on his extensive experience living abroad and is also active in publishing; and trackmakers Nature and KAZUKIzBOXX.

Following a series of three collaborative projects with the American artist Incidents, this latest release marks another step in the group's mission to share their music from their home base in Kumagaya with audiences both in Japan and beyond.
