A collaborative album by rappers Moment Joon and Fisong, active in Osaka. As immigrants and Zainichi Koreans, they freely traverse Japanese, English, and Korean in their lyrics, bouncing over a soundscape that represents today's hip-hop, encompassing everything from Drill to Neo-Boom Bap, Crunk, Lo-fi, and Detroit styles. The album is a perfect blend of homage to the history of hip-hop and unprecedented innovation, comprising 13 tracks that breathe both the new and the old. It touches on music, roots, anger, politics, Japan, trauma, self-reflection, history, guilt, hope, and the human connections that generate all these elements. The Hip-Hop Album is born out of the connection between two individuals who are different yet similar.
