過ぎてく時間は
風のように流れる
ぬくもりを超えた先を
問いかける
迷っては知る道
ひたすら走る意味
なんて、とうにわかってた
笑ってた
16年ぶり 家族で食卓
両親は真心
膝の上に孫
普通の飯 美味くなるスパイス
空きっ腹と子供のsmile&wife
ハイハイからおぼつかん2足歩行
転けても
立ち上がる姿にくらうおとん
ことごとくママっこ
ドレッドを引っ張り
遊ぶお前が一番好きだってこと
人のために汗
それも自分の為
光れば光るほど濃くなる影
時に没頭し
時に匙を投げ確かめる
日々の出来事で俺は書ける
下を向く必要なんてないな
愛せるものが一つあればいいな
理解求めるのは自分だけでいいのさ
行動に理由なんかなくていいのさ
あなたに見せる笑顔が濁らないように
俺はずっと心から笑っていたい
俺がマイク持つreason
俺がマイク持つreason
Reason
ただいま 怠惰跨いだ 只今
いい音楽をしてあなたと笑いたい
平凡の勾配
登りきるところ
今の幸せ噛み締めきるところ
誤魔化し効かないlifeは鏡
静かな夜 部屋照らす月明かり
皿は回さず
洗っていっちょ上がり
それもたまに
なのにやった気
俺は俺の城を守る
賃貸のストーリー
前向きに捉える
ラッパーは都合いい
口説いたくどい現実は曇り
裸眼くそリアルな
葛藤の狭間
知るpain 汗を握り走るペン
子供 いい寝顔 見ろよ良い夢
俺はリアルな街でマイク持つfather
俺はリアルな街でマイク持つfather

DAT, Jam Fillux

Since 2021, he has released an album or EP every year, including two EPs last year titled Itsu no manika no Ima woand Colorful no shita wa Itsumo mujii.This album marks his first release of the year.
Jam fillux is a beatmaker who releases solo beat tapes, provides beats for rappers, and creates music for commercials. He primarily uses live instrumentation with sampling, and his previous works have featured mellow boom bap and edgy LA-style beats. He is also a member of the beatmaker collective GONIN and has contributed to all three of their released albums.
This is the first time the two have collaborated. datsuto fell in love with Jam filluxs beats and proposed the collaboration, and Jam fillux, who had been listening to datsutos music for some time, expressed a desire to work on an album-length project. jamfillux beats that maximize the use of wordsand beats that can resonate with someone's heart even without words, creating a mellow and warm beat. datsutos straightforward and unpretentious lyrics, themed around being with the people you care about,are layered over this soft boom bap track.
The only featured artist is shou, a rapper from Okayama, on the track kuki. The mixing was done by Jam fillux himself, and the mastering was handled by Lou. The artwork was created by NOX, who is part of THE WEST CLASSIC RECORDS alongside datsuto. Below are comments from both artists.
datsutos Comment
The first beat I received was Hometown, and upon hearing it, I thought, I want to use words that resonate with people and touch their hearts. The lead track Hometown is a song dedicated to a senior MC who took his own life, someone who always believed in me without judgment.
The album was completed after a year and a half of continuous communication with Jam fillux, and it is my personal masterpiece. As always, it is authentic and down-to-earth, with many descriptions of my hometown. I hope listeners will feel that what is taken for granted is not necessarily so. Alternatively, even if you just let it play in the background, the words will still come through, so I recommend listening to it during sunset or after work.
Jam fillux Comment
From the first time I heard it, I felt that dato-kun's music truly reflects his personality. The deep love for his hometown, friends, and family, and the lyrics that honestly depict his vulnerabilities without trying to put on a facade. Every time I encountered his down-to-earth, raw, and straightforward words, I was deeply moved.
I wanted to bring out his worldview further through my beats. But I realized that one song alone wouldnt be enough. Thats why I decided to create an album with him.
The main motivation for creating this album was the desire to leave behind a work that only he and I could create. I hope this music can quietly accompany you in your daily lifewhether its on your way home at sunset, taking a break after work or school, or when youre feeling a bit sentimental.

Artist Profile
DAT
DAT / Okayama / THE WEST CLASSIC RECORDS DAT is an MC based in Okayama, Japan. At the age of 18, DAT picked up the mic and was shocked by the presence of western heavyweights - HANABIS, FEIDA-WAN, LEESOK, NO LOOK PLAN - and fell in love with HIPHOP. Through "BACK YARD," an event he founded in his hometown, he has been rooted in the scene, connecting with fierce competitors in and outside of the prefecture, and carving out a path for himself. In 2021, he was selected to represent UMB Okayama. He has made his mark not only with his name, but also with his ability. Their sound is based on sampling, and has an earthy but core sound with a foundation of jazz and soul. The lyrics are unadorned and unpretentious, spitting out life as it is. The flow is rigid. The words are heavy. There are no lies. His many works include "DAT TRIP" (2021), "GOOD NIGHT MORNING" (2022), EP "IN DA HOUSE" (2023), "itsu no manikano Ima wo" (2024), "Underneath the Colorful is Always Plain" (2024), and many more. He continues to send out music, including singles, without stopping. With Okayama on his back, he travels around the country with a single microphone. Even from the countryside, you can do it. I have proven it, and I will continue to prove it.
