Okayama-based rapper Dat will release a new EP "Itsu no manika no Ima wo" on April 18 (Thursday).
Dat, who also works as the manager of the coffee shop "EMPIRE COFFEE ROASTERS," is a rapper with a strong flow and unadorned lyrics that reflect his life in a straightforward manner. Belonging to local label THE WEST CLASSIC RECORDS, he has released many works with an organic sound that samples jazz and soul. Last year, he released the EP "IN DA HOUSE" as well as the single "BBS (B-BOY SESSION)". In addition, he has been actively involved in other activities, such as participating in the single "Asobi" by Fusewa, hosting an event in Okayama, and releasing a music video for "Nukumori," which is also included in the current album.
The EP to be released this time is based on the concept of "when is now" as it marks the 10th year since Dat started rapping. The sound is put together in a mellow and calm line, and the work is a song about his activities and life as a rapper. Produced by Osaka beatmaker yamabequo, as well as KAZ-SHIT, who worked on "BBS (B-BOY SESSION)," and kakasi, who also participated in "IN DA HOUSE. The guest performer is Amaba, who is active in the Okayama rap group "Dice Color".
Mixed by yamabequo and mastered by Toru Matsushita. Artwork was created by Notorious 084.

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.
