Artist Profile

• Mc Nebuta

  Mc Nebuta / Rapper / Artist Born in 1989, from the Tsugaru region of Aomori Prefecture, Japan. Based in Tokyo. From an early age, influenced by Eminem, 2Pac, Snoop Dogg, and King Giddra, Mc Nebuta developed a rap style that uniquely fuses hip-hop with the soul of Tsugaru, a northern Japanese region known for its harsh winters, deep-rooted folk culture, and distinct dialect. Known for his striking red mask, he is a devoted pro-wrestling fan inspired by the aesthetic of masked wrestlers, wearing an original red mask crafted to the same quality as active professional wrestlers. Debuting at 35, he aims to become a legend of his hometown, much like Koshi Ikuzo, the iconic Japanese enka singer from Aomori who rose from rural poverty to national stardom. Mc Nebuta's mission: to put Aomori on the global hip-hop map. A real survivor who endured a harrowing imprisonment in Thailand and made it back alive, he channels that raw experience directly into his lyrics. Armed with Tsugaru dialect, a deep love for his homeland, and the grit of someone who has clawed his way up from rock bottom, he continues to build his rap career. Ten years ago, he crossed paths in Thailand with rapper Mek Piisua, whose production led to the release of IN-BOU-RON-JA 2025 (A wordplay combining "Inbouron" (conspiracy theory) and "In wo fumu" (to rhyme) in Japanese), marking the true beginning of his music career. Following live performances across Tokyo, he is set to release WHO AM I (Wa no Namae ba Shicchana) ("Do you know my name?" in Tsugaru dialect) in 2026.
