I'LL BE THERE

"B" Is Back

For over a decade, RHYME BOYA has remained a constant presence on the scene-sharpening his craft through guest appearances and DJ sets, never stepping away from the frontline. Yet as a solo artist, he had been silent for nearly eleven years since FLOWMOTION.

In 2026, that silence ends. I'LL BE THERE marks a long-awaited and emphatic return.

The album is anchored by DLiP's trusted production circle, including NAGMATIC and S'ALL GOODMAN, whose finely crafted, sample-rich beats blend classic hip-hop sensibilities with a polished modern edge. Against this backdrop, RHYME BOYA flows with renewed clarity and confidence. The moment his voice cuts through the mix, the tracks take on a new dimension-proof of the charisma and color that have always defined him as an MC.

The guest lineup adds further depth: soulful textures from Shunské G, sharp perspectives from VANY of Dorneko Manshon, and a powerful reunion with longtime Kansai ally RAWAX. Each collaboration feels purposeful, expanding the album's emotional and sonic range without diluting its core identity.

Lyrically, I'LL BE THERE reveals a more personal and reflective side, while maintaining an unwavering drive toward higher ground. There is a sense of maturity here-earned, not manufactured. The lightness of his delivery is balanced by weight and conviction, the product of eleven years lived and learned.

Accessible yet layered, immediate yet rewarding with repeated listens, I'LL BE THERE doesn't just signal a comeback. It captures the present-tense evolution of RHYME BOYA-an artist who never left, but has now returned sharper than ever.
