Nakamura Minami releases her solo debut single "Ride" produced by andrew from TREKKIE TRAX.

This is the first single after disbanding "TENG GANG STARR", a group she used to be a part.

As Minami explains, the concept of this song is "summer & love". She raps about her past memories and her current lifestyle as a rapper. She also raps in a singing style that emphasizes the melody at the hook.

In the lyrics, her enthusiasm for riding the waves from the scenery of her home Tsujido is included.

The sound producer, andrew from TREKKIE TRAX, produced the track and also was in charge of everything from vocal direction, mixing and mastering.

Artist Profile

  • Nakamura Minami

    Nakamura Minami is a Japanese rapper who has a tough memory that she was a homeless, in contrast to her childlike characteristics. Her career started from the Hip-hop unit "TENG GANG STARR" which was formed in 2015 by kamui (3-i). In September 2018, they released the CD album "ICON" including some collaborations with Minchanbaby, WillyWonka, MIYACHI, Masayoshi Iimori (from TREKKIE TRAX) and one remix song by Seiho. The album has become a hot topic in rap scene but also in dance music scene. In March 2019, "TENG GANG STARR" disbanded, but as soon as Minami's solo activity began, she was featured on "Gaki Ranger"'s album. On May 1st in the same year, Minami released "Reiwa" with a Japanese sound team "TREKKIE TRAX CREW" under the theme of Japan's new era. Accompanying that collaboration, she performed as a guest MC at "EDC Japan" festival with "TREKKIE TRAX CREW". Her intense and cute lyrics and performance are worth to watch, especially if you are looking for up and coming Japanese rapper.
