Rapper hI-sO, known for effortlessly riding beats across a wide range of BPMs, from hip-hop to drum and bass, while constantly exploring an adventurous and experimental style, joins forces with Watman Beginz, a producer rooted in hip-hop and R&B who creates music that moves freely across genres, from UK Garage and House to a wide spectrum of club music.
After releasing the lead singles "Just Dance" and "A Night Like This" , both focused on making listeners move, the duo now unveils their highly anticipated album, *Synchro*.
As the album title suggests, these tracks bring different elements into sync: rap and beats, the images in the mind and their expression, the body and the dance floor, past and future, subjectivity and objectivity, solitude and resonance, and, above all, hI-sO and Watman Beginz themselves. The result is a highly refined album where energy and introspection, weightlessness and sharpness coexist and collide.
Drawing from a wide range of dance music-including 2-step, UK Garage, House, Liquid Funk, and Afrobeat-the album successfully maintains the attitude and intensity of rap music while fully embracing the freedom of the dance floor.
The album also features trusted collaborators and close friends of hI-sO and Watman Beginz, including SMOKIN' ACE of SMOKIN' IN THE BOYS ROOM, Yuka Niiyama, CHAPAH, and SHINO.
With *Synchro*, they have created a compelling embodiment of rap music made for dancing, and dance music made for rap.
It would not be an exaggeration to call *Synchro* one of the most danceable rap albums-and dance albums-of 2026.
hI-sO and Watman Beginz join forces to create a sound that refuses to stay in one lane. A rapper known for riding beats across a wide spectrum of BPMs-from HIPHOP to Drum & Bass-hI-sO has always pushed himself toward challenging and experimental territory. Watman Beginz, meanwhile, draws from his roots in HIPHOP and R&B while freely moving through the worlds of club music, including UK Garage, House, and beyond. Their collaboration began to take shape through hI-sO's 2021 single "Virtual World (feat. CHAPAH)." What started as a single production gradually evolved into a deeper musical partnership, as the two explored the common ground in their tastes and pushed their shared idea of "music we wish existed" to its furthest limits. The music that emerged from that process is completely self-contained-built from their own ideas, instincts, and desire to create something that simply wasn't there yet. In 2026, they decided to bring together the body of work they had created over the years and present it as a complete album, marking a new milestone in their journey. Made for everyone who shares their love of dance music, this album is a bold and uncompromising exploration of rhythm, movement, and the endless possibilities that emerge when two artists follow their instincts without boundaries. This is music made for the dancefloor-but it's also music made for themselves. And now, they're ready to share it with the world.
