In the year 2014, two hip hop beat makers from Sagami-Hara (Japan) named TAJIMA HAL and TOSHIKI HAYASHI (%C) released their split EP titled "Thin Lines". Today, these two masters of their craft have decided to resurrect these gems (and add unreleased material) as a deluxe limited edition release in 2022!

In 2012 after they both had released several instrumentals beat tapes in their home country of Japan, TAJIMA HAL decided to broaden his horizons and moved to Berlin, Germany. After spending two years abroad, TAJIMA HAL took all the experiences and inspirations he gained in Germany and teamed up with old hometown friend TOSHIKI HAYASHI (%C) to combine their ideas and the flavor of the two countries. Through this combination, their boombap masterpiece "Thin Line" came to be.

Those familiar with their work can tell you that both TAJIMA HAL and TOSHIKI HAYASHI (%C) were heavily inspired by the boombap style of American 90's hip hop that they grew up listening to. Today these boys offer what they call "upgraded boombap" where you can hear them chopping samples in their own unique ways.

Both the album cover artist (SPYCETWO) and the invited feature rapper (BASHO from the group CBS) on this deluxe re-release come from the same hometown of Sagami-hara. Now these Sagami-Hara boys are all grown up and finally teaming up to resurrect and upgrade the "Thin Lines" with their fully powered combination.
