You, me, and the convenience store. A "white paper" on dismantling our convenient society, brought to you by Mellow Monk Connection.

"what's convenience?" marks the first single from Mellow Monk Connection following the addition of new member DJ Tamagoyaki.

The track fuses a melody inspired by convenience store jingles with the groove of 90s hip-hop and the warm ensemble sound of 70s R&B/soul. It is a slightly peculiar brand of "convenience store music," rendered with the texture of modern city soul.

Convenience stores are always there-24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The song captures-with a touch of humor-the everyday reality we take for granted, looking at it from the perspectives of both those who enjoy this convenience and those who make it possible.

That convenience... isn't it all just a little bit strange?
