The latest EP "Code rabbit" by next-generation artist Esc/ape coexists with aggression and sensitivity.
On this work, producer hell4vveak, who once dominated the SoundCloud charts and influenced Japanese SoundCloud listeners, is responsible for the beats of all tracks.
The overwhelming sense of speed and tension in the sound draws out the "other self" hidden within Esc/ape.
The jacket art was created by KILL, who is active as a DJ and artist both in Japan and internationally, and whose animated movie released on YouTube has surpassed about 50,000 views.
His visual creation, "Kamui-kun," symbolizes the theme of the work: "masks and true nature."
The four tracks included each traverse different genres, yet consistently explore the question of "what it means to be oneself."
The fast-paced beat of "Usagi no Kigurumi," the introspective "who i ?¿," the vow to replay in "like a me," and the closing "non believer."
Each track transforms real emotions-not escape or affirmation-into sound as they are.
Additionally, music videos based on KILL's artwork are planned to be released sequentially.
This is a work that explosively combines sound, visuals, and identity.
Esc/ape is an active teacher and rapper with mental illness. A young rapper who is gaining attention again because he sings strong criticisms of society and Japanese religious culture born from his background as a second-generation religious person. His original expressions, created from a new perspective as an educator, are currently attracting attention to his childhood living environment and unique Japanese ideas.
