BES flows freely on top of GRADIS NICE's multi-layered BEATS. The bass line and punch line increase the shaking of the neck. Heavy beats and rhymes, the combination of these two is CHAMPION SOUND. HIP HOP resounding from the city to the world. A world where humor and hardcore coexist. GRADIS NICE, who was in NY, contacted me saying "I want to make a work with BES". . 5LACK will participate as a guest, JELLY FLASH for artwork (layout design by show5 (WANDERMAN TOKYO), photo by TEPPEI HORI), MIX by MET as MTHA2 and NAOYA TOKUNOU, MASTERING by NAOYA TOKUNOU. The highest point of 2023 HARD CORE HIP HOP sent by WDsounds. LIFE is harsh and wonderful.

Artist Profile

  • BES

    SWANKY SWIPE. SCARS. A rapper who essentially brought the concept of flow to Tokyo's HIP HOP. He continues to put his own experiences into his rap. Many people have testified to the episode that something changed when they saw the LIVE at Ikebukuro BED where they were based. SWANKY SWIPE "BUNKS MARMLEDE", which can be said to be a luxury of beats and limes, and the 1st album "REBUILD", which strongly stepped forward with pain, were released as classic records. Despite many difficulties, he continues to rap and continues to improve his style. "UNTITLED" leaves a lasting impression with fresh collaborations with fla$hbacks, 5LACK, etc., "THE KISS OF LIFE" about not being overwhelmed and not forgetting humor, and the label of the late A&R Masaru Sato, who was an ally and P-VINE's best. In the EP from BLACK SWAN, the "BES ILL LOUNGE" series, in which he mixes his own path and spins it forward, his fresh collaboration with BIM is also fresh in my memory. "FLOW", which was created with META FLOWER, has been loved for its long run in both video and music. Of course, forgetting to participate in the work of the Tokyo legend MICROPHONE PAGER is also not acceptable. Released two albums with BES & ISSUGI, a tag team with ISSUGI, who turned the path they walked together into an inevitable one. JUICY JOINT and MEGA-G tag team THE ART, and in 2023, WDsounds is planning to release a tag work "STANCE" with GRADIS NICE. His solo works, group works, and guest performance works, each one of which is the history of HIP HOP. A rare MC who always learns and teaches something.
