This is the latest track from rapper/singer MEZZ, who just released a collaboration with UK producer Sharda in November. The song features Michaela, vocalist of the band TOGITO, which announced a suspension of activities in April 2023. The song was produced by hibachibeats, who also produced viral hits such as "OTAKARA" and "non scale" by Watson, a notable young Japanese rapper. Percussive & heavy Drill beats are mixed with the sad and romantic voices of MEZZ and Michaela on this R&B Drill.
In 2022, she made her debut with "Gyal Drill," a reinterpretation of a beat based on UK drill, mixed with singing and rapping. The song gradually gained attention not only in Japan but also from worldwide DJs such as Ryan Hemsworth and Porter Robinson. She has since released music in collaboration with Japanese artists such as Nakamura Minami, and more. She is expanding her global presence by releasing collaborations with Sharda (a.k.a. Murlo), a prominent producer in the current UK Garage scene, and Roska, a key figure in the UK Funky community based in London. In September 2023, she and Dr. Pay produced the song "Running out" for the popular Japanese TV drama "Ya Boy Kongming!". She also performed at the Suara Festival 2024 in Bali, Indonesia, and at Summer Sonic 2024, one of Japanese biggest music festivals. She is a new entity that revives the culture of the 00s in various forms, exploring new styles of J-POP in a bilingual English-Japanese style.
