FREEDOM (feat. i2k1, RYU, MVMA, shot, NAMAZUKUN, ORCA, MARU-AI & PAC-MAN)

"FREEDOM" is Nagano Prefecture's premier hip-hop party. The mic relay track of the same name, "FREEDOM," brings together the members who form the backbone of FREEDOM-including i2k1, Ryu, MVMA, shot, NAMAZUKUN, ORCA, MARU-AI, and PAC-MAN-and stands as a song that symbolizes Nagano's hip-hop scene.

The song's greatest appeal lies not in conforming to a single style, but in the way each MC's unique personality clashes with the others, ultimately forging a unified atmosphere of "FREEDOM."

It is precisely because of the mic relay format that the differences in each person's voice, flow, and word choice stand out so clearly. With every pass of the baton, the song's character shifts, and each MC's individuality passes the energy on to the next. This progression perfectly embodies the "FREEDOM" style found in clubs, where DJs seamlessly pass the vibe from one to the next.

Under the name "FREEDOM," MCs from different generations and styles share the same mic. This very image speaks volumes about the momentum of the current Nagano hip-hop scene.

Combining the dynamic energy intended for the club floor with the listenability that lets you enjoy each MC's unique personality, "FREEDOM" not only captures a single night of the "FREEDOM" party but also serves as a musical record of the hip-hop movement currently unfolding in Nagano.

For listeners familiar with the local scene, the moments when each MC takes the mic will surely evoke a sense of exhilaration.
And for listeners unfamiliar with Nagano's hip-hop scene, this track serves as a gateway to understanding where the scene stands today.

Gather freely, express freely, connect freely. That is the very essence of "FREEDOM."

This mic relay is a grassroots anthem that lets you feel the "here and now" of Nagano hip-hop.
