Following the May release of their EP Dos Moons - featuring cover art by legendary horror manga artist Junji Ito - and their first national tour, the rap trio Dos Monos drop an unexpected new single, "Burn".
Built around a bright, driving guitar groove, the track finds the three MCs trading verses on the universal theme of burning through inertia - confronting self-change and inner conflict with their trademark wit and philosophical flair. The mix was handled by long-time collaborator The Anticipation Illicit Tsuboi, who has shaped most of Dos Monos's catalog, while mastering was done by Matt Colton, known for his work with Aphex Twin and James Blake.
Sonically, the track channels the carefree energy of '90s West Coast crossover music, yet reframes it within a distinctly modern context - making it one of the group's most unorthodox works to date. "Burn" is Dos Monos's own kind of motivational song: an anthem for incinerating complacency and emerging renewed.

    Zo Zhit, TaiTan, and Botsu aka NGS are a hip-hop trio known for their experimental sound and high-energy live performances. They have gained enthusiastic support from various scenes both in Japan and abroad. In 2018, they announced a contract with LA label Deathbomb Arc, and released their debut album "Dos City" in March 2019. Since then, they have established a firm position in the Japanese music scene through their performances at various events and festivals, as well as through their self-produced event "Theater D," which is held irregularly at live houses, clubs, movie theaters, and online. The trio's collaborations are not limited to the music industry, as they have also worked with Audrey Tang, Taiwan's Minister of Digital, and Yasutaka Tsutsui, a giant in the world of Japanese literature. They have also collaborated with Ryohei Kamide, a producer of HardBoiled Gourmet Report, to produce the experimental late-night TV show "Futa," which was accompanied by an album called "Larderello." Their single "ŌBO" was used as the opening theme song for "HITOSHI MATSUMOTO Presents DOCUMENTAL Season10," among other achievements. In addition, the trio has crossed genres and collaborated with artists such as UK rock band "black midi" and US hip-hop group "Injury Reserve". They have recently successfully completed a European tour with black midi in October 2022, solidifying their position as an outlier in the global hip-hop scene that is currently gaining attention.
