Lyric

Following 2021's "THE TAKES" and 2023's "Communication", "No Fear" marks TAKE-M's third album. As with his previous two releases, the album is fully produced by BACHLOGIC. Opening with "Gekijo", which bridges TAKE-M's hip-hop roots with where he stands today, and closing with "Dry Flower", a track that paints an emotional landscape, "No Fear" captures the full breadth of his artistry. On "Lucky Boys", featuring peko and KennyDoes from his own Umeda Cypher crew, and "OriginalFake", featuring IKE and PM Kenobi, TAKE-M goes head-to-head with his collaborators in displays of pure rap skill. Meanwhile, on "Runaway from the Ghost / Stigma", he lays bare the psychological forces that drive him, instability and all. The title track captures TAKE-M's state of mind at this very moment, as he continues to establish his presence as a key MC in the scene. Taking in everything that surrounds him - his circumstances, the road he has traveled, and the full spectrum of his emotions - "No Fear" brings it all together into a single declaration: "No Fear." It is a document of TAKE-M exactly as he is, right here, right now. (Written by Shinichiro "JET" Takagi)
