This work "KAMIKAZE" is written with a strong vibe of rising up the hip-hop scene and feelings for friends who have shared the good times and the bad, with warm lyrics that are close to the listener, and NEO's characteristic catchy flow and word sense make it an addictive song. Full-scale production activities began in 2024, but with the rise of young rappers, the appeal of this work is that it positively expresses the introspection of being tied down to the current life and feeling frustrated.
New Living Bible
"How to move your life in a better direction" When I heard this beat, I wanted to sing about that, so I wrote this poem.
After I started moving in earnest, various things happened as if I was drawn to them, and before I knew it, I was working on my second album. I feel that having a good mind is the key to attracting good things, so I wanted to make this song like my own bible so that I wouldn't forget that. I gave this song this title, which is the first track on the EP, in the hope that it will be a catalyst for big changes in my life.
Never Broke Again
I wanted to make a song that would remind me of my beginnings at any time. The change in my environment, new encounters, cyphers in my hometown, and the reason I started making music properly and the encounters I made. My feelings when I didn't know what to do and what I feel now. I wanted to reminisce as clearly as possible with the people I care about, so I wrote this song.
All I Need
I came up with the hook for this song while I was driving alone with a beat playing, and I thought it might be good! I wrote most of the lyrics while driving around Tokyo with that momentum. I remember that when we recorded at NABB, TAXON was shaking his head a lot, and I got really excited. I wrote this song with the intention of clarifying how I will face music with the theme of "What I want to convey now". As a result, it became a song that is like a continuation of Never Broke Again.
Doggy Place
When I think about "why I express myself", I often think back on how I overcame hardships and many problems. Even if I can't rely on anyone, there is hip-hop, and rappers always sing about feelings that cannot be put into words. I started writing songs myself, and I thought that this time I would like to be that kind of presence for someone, so I wrote this song with the intention of going all out, even though it's a cliche. I chose the same title as the name of my crew, and first clarified who I wanted to convey and where I came from.
Butterfly Effect
The present is based on important encounters for me, a series of choices, and their results. What is important and where it will lead to is just a prediction, even if I think about it. I chose this title because I thought that something trivial for me would have a big effect on the future and lead to an ending I could never imagine. I didn't intend to be a rapper from the beginning, and I wasn't even aware of my talent, but this is where I am now. I wanted to tell everyone that. I really like the way the album leads to an ending.
KAMIKAZE
This is the title song of the EP. You only have one life, so I think it's not easy to believe in yourself and jump into it. No matter what you do, it's a one-way ticket, but I want to live with pride in the way I chose to live, so I included kamikaze in the lyrics. I'm Japanese, after all. lol
It was hot for me, so I just made it the title.
