Late up all night
Make it up for lost time
Train leaves at five
So the next one’s all mine yeah
On the iPhone
Why the eye-roll?
Disconnected, we in a different time zone
Send me a LINE or message at the dial tone
Swinging left and right on a tight rope
Nah, cut it off
First two rounds in, I’ve seen enough
You know you were never good enough
Let that bartender decide
Switch sides, I’ve been given three strikes
Fortnight, emotional deep dive
Five chances lost over six nights
(まだまだ)
Baby we
Count it up

愛されてるSuper model
Everybody popping bottles

まるでBullet
胸で打ち込まれ取れない
Pull it
感が当たる気がする前触れ
Open your eyes
You realize
Moments arrived
Don’t act surprised
Pardon me
The pride in me it’s burning me
It’s third degree
Fell out of the perplexity
Caught between the truth and the green screen
Respectfully

Kingo
Born in Japan and raised in different parts of the world, including the United States and Cambodia, hip-hop artist Kingo has developed a distinct creative voice shaped by his multicultural upbringing. Blending this unique sensibility with lyrics written in both Japanese and English, he continues to pursue a style of expression entirely his own.
Arriving nearly three years after his previous EP, Kingo's second EP, "cheqpoint.", is a six-track project that captures where he stands today as he navigates new environments and changes in his life, while continuing to confront and pursue his own ideals. As its title suggests, the project serves as a "checkpoint" - a moment to look back on the path he has taken, reflect on where he is now, and prepare to move forward.
Rooted in club music while embracing a diverse range of sonic approaches, the EP takes on different colors through sessions with multiple artists and trackmakers. From competition and restlessness to his admiration for music, the conflicts that come with pursuing it, and his determination to keep moving forward, Kingo channels his real-life experiences into his lyrics. Together, these six tracks offer a multidimensional portrait of who Kingo is today.

Kingo
Born in Tokyo in 1998, Kingo is a rapper and hip-hop artist based primarily in Tokyo. Although born in Japan, his experience of moving between post-war Cambodia and the United States has shaped a distinctly international perspective and story. He continues to expand his global reach through bilingual rap in both Japanese and English, as well as collaborations with artists from overseas. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of artists and genres, including Kendrick Lamar and Funkadelic, Kingo has developed a distinctive and versatile style of expression. In 2022, a video of his band-style street performance gained significant attention on Twitter, surpassing 100,000 views. His recorded work includes "Always Around," produced in collaboration with music producer A.G.O., which has been featured on numerous official playlists across major streaming platforms. In 2023, Kingo made his debut appearance at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL 2023, performing on the ROOKIE A GO-GO stage. In August 2026, he released "cheqpoint.," his first EP in three years.
