The first single of 2026.
This release features rapper Vecken, a close friend both personally and professionally, as a guest artist, resulting in a track with a new worldview distinct from previous work.
True to its name, "Tokyo Drinking Story,"
it's a song about the real, everyday experiences surrounding alcohol.
It's a track where the two artists' light, smooth flows blend over a fast-paced, boombap-leaning beat.
The creation of this song began from the desire to make a track you can just groove to without overthinking while drinking.
SMOKY DOGG holds his liquor well, while Vecken is a lightweight. The contrast between their strengths and weaknesses packs the lyrics with interesting dynamics, so listen closely. The chorus might sound cheesy at first, but somehow it gets stuck in your head. That's the kind of melody it is, and it's sure to become an essential part of their live shows going forward.
Born March 26, 1998 in Itabashi Ward, Tokyo. She passed a vocal audition when she was 16 years old and formed a twin-vocal unit with a vocalist of the same age, and started her career as a singer. They started their live performance at live houses based in Ikebukuro and Shibuya, covering J-POP popular at the time. During the course of their activities, their partner left the group, and they stopped their singing career when they were 20 years old. Influenced by various Hip Hop and R&B artists in Japan and abroad, he started rapping at the age of 22, and on his 25th birthday, he released his debut EP "Episode I" and began his career as a rapper in earnest. His 2nd Single "All my homies" ranked 13th out of 200 songs in the iTunes Store (Taiwan)'s "Hip-Hop/Rap Top Songs" and became his first chart entry. On October 4, 2024 and March 7, 2025, Shibuya held the "Awesome Time" event at R LOUNGE. The event was a great success and made the Shibuya night very exciting. March 26, 2025, exactly two years after his debut. On his birthday, he released his 1st ALBUM "This is SMOKY DOGG". The sense of lyrics that he has cultivated over the years, the hard rhymes and catchy hooks that come out of his one-of-a-kind voice that uses both low and high notes for each song, and his skillful flow that can handle any beat. Always humble, always remembering his original intentions, he sings lyrics from his own life and aims to bring a new wind to the HIP HOP world with his genre-less music and style that is not bound by existing styles.
