Where Does Your Depression Come From?
Esc/ape Releases New Song "Is It Going to (feat. Hamacham)"
Rapper Esc/ape, a former teacher with a background in mental illness and being a second-generation member of a religious group, has released a new song, "Is It Going to Be Okay? (feat. Hamacham)."
This song realistically depicts the inner turmoil caused by comparisons with others, negative thoughts that cannot be reconciled, and the resulting instability. While skillfully riding a diverse flow over a lighthearted Trap beat, the song captivates the listener until the very end with its evocative lyrics.
The guest appearance is by Hamacham, a rising rapper who garnered attention at "Rapstar 2025." Hamacham's video submitted to RAPSTAR 2025 (AbemaTV) was picked up by the official social media accounts, bringing significant attention to the group.
Esc/ape learned about Hamacham through the program and was inspired by his song "Kitto Daijoubu" (It'll Be Alright), which led to the creation of this track. The result is a well-balanced collaboration that showcases the lyrical talents of both artists.
Esc/ape has more tracks featuring various guest artists in the works to come. Their further evolution is something to keep an eye on.
Esc/ape is an active teacher and rapper with mental illness. A young rapper who is gaining attention again because he sings strong criticisms of society and Japanese religious culture born from his background as a second-generation religious person. His original expressions, created from a new perspective as an educator, are currently attracting attention to his childhood living environment and unique Japanese ideas.
