This is a distribution single by MIC RAW RUGA, a girls' rap group produced by E TICKET PRODUCTION that provides songs to Butei Yoshida, KMNZ, and Nagi Nemoto of Denpagumi. Following their previous single "PAY YOU BACK", this is their second consecutive monthly release.
"HOW RAW" includes the group's name "RAW" in the title, and begins with the same sampling as "MIC RAW RUGA ON THE ONE TWO" released when the group was first formed, foreshadowing a new beginning. The floating mix of electronic sounds and heavy bass is impressive even live. The contrast between the powerful spit of the rap and the laid-back hook is also noteworthy.
As with the "Go Forward EP" and "PAY YOU BACK," mastering was done by Kan Inoue of WONK, and mixing was done by Korenaga Ta kurou, who has mixed songs by Riho Sheyashi, Philosophy Dance, GOMESS, and others.
