OLD BLACK (feat. DJ AKAKABE)
dj honda, SILENT KILLA JOINT
現場カチ上げ叩き上げ
二日酔いだ全く
シャワー浴びてかったるい
頭にSmoke
腹が減ったら飯を食う
よれた身体もこれで十分
踵鳴らして 歩く階段
もしよければ貸してくれよライター
音が鳴り出す
ドラムが聴こえる
誰もが認める
くらい真っ黒にやる
徐々に それは漂う
ああ理解し出すグルーヴ
Conscious, Drill, Trap, Boombap, Mumble Rap
ぶっちゃけなんも関係ないもんな
俺は俺を売ってる
関わる奴をぶち上げる
みんな口だけ
やめて自分を売り出せ
マイナスからプラスを絞り出せ
きっかけ見つける俺のため俺と俺の仲間家族との幸せ
勝ち上がるGame
打ち込め、撃ち込め、目的のため、
鉄は叩いて 硬くなる again
打ち込め、撃ち込め、目的のため、
鉄は叩いて
打ち込め、撃ち込め、目的のため、
鉄は叩いて 硬くなる again
打ち込め、撃ち込め、目的のため、
鉄は叩いて

Ahead of the album *HIT THE IRON* by dj honda x SILENT KILLA JOINT set for release in autumn 2026 comes the advance single "OLD BLACK" (featuring scratches by DJ AKAKABE)!
It began with a momentous encounter in Sapporo in the summer of 2022; they immediately hit the studio and nailed a track.
They reunited on stage at the UMB finals later that same year, where the duo claimed their first victory in the "h-beat" battle.
Determined to "strike while the iron is hot," they made repeated trips to honda's studio in the North. Now, the 14 tracks born of that passion and dedication are finally being unleashed.
Artist Profile
dj honda
Moving to Tokyo at age 17, Honda began DJing at age 18. He built his career at clubs and events in the mid-1980s, and in 1992, he moved to New York alone. That same year, he competed in the DJ Battle for World Supremacy, winning second place. This historic moment, the first time a Japanese DJ's talent was recognized in the hip-hop scene, marked the beginning of dj honda's career as an artist. In 1995, he made his major label debut with the album "h," which reached #90 on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. His follow-up, "h II (1997)," reached #57 and #16 on Heatseekers, and the track "Travellin' Man (feat. Mos Def)" reached #17 on Hot Rap Songs and remained on the charts for 16 consecutive weeks, establishing Honda as a Japanese DJ in the American hip-hop scene. He subsequently released "h III (2001)" and "h 2000 (1999)." He has performed with numerous artists who are considered key figures in the Golden Age of Hip-Hop, including Gangstarr, Redman, Jeru the Damaja, Mos Def, Fat Joe, M.O.P, The Beatnuts, KRS ONE, Common, De La Soul, and EPMD. In 2009, he released "h IV" simultaneously worldwide. His track "The Incredible," featuring Limp Bizkit vocalist Fred Durst, left a lasting impact that transcended genre boundaries. That same year, he returned to Japan and began producing and working domestically. He provided beats for all of the albums "Aftershock (2011)" and "Unity -h factor (2013)" by leading Japanese jazz musician Terumasa Hino, and led the band on a nationwide tour. He has since produced collaborative albums with some of Japan's leading rappers, including B.I.G.JOE's "Unfinished Connection" (2015), Benisakura's "DARK SIDE" (2019), ill-bosstino's "KINGS CROSS" (2021), SIMON JAP's "Golden Age" (2022), and TWIGY's "RAPATTACK" (2022). He has also produced genre-less remixes for artists such as GLAY and Maki Ohguro. Then, in 2025, he released his first full-length albums under his own name in 16 years, "hV" and "hV -Japan Edition-." This album, packed with the depth of his career, is a truly self-produced work, with lyrics also handled by dj honda. dj honda's continued evolution continues unabated.
