"BAD NEWS" sharply cuts through the darker side of society, relentlessly exposing the contradictions of modern society. The song is a sarcastic critique of the news we secretly enjoy, depicting the misfortunes of others; XILA straightforwardly describes how the proliferation of social networking sites destroys people's lives, while BIC highlights the cruelty of a society that ridicules the pain of others. TAKURO then appeals to the audience not to be so moved by BAD NEWS and not to lose the kindness of people that is inherent in them.
More than just a superficial critique, this song questions the moral sins that each of us commits in our daily lives, mirroring the modern man who is excited by the misfortunes of others in the shadow of social networking sites and hungry for malicious media coverage. This song is more than just music; it is a powerful message about issues deeply rooted in our society.

Artist Profile

  • XILA

    It all began in 2004 in America Village, Osaka. Back then, to rise to the top, you needed money, violence, and trustworthy allies. It was a harsh environment where one believed, "If you're not a delinquent, you can't make it as a rapper." In such an environment, XILA began his journey as a rapper. XILA's words were the embodiment of the street's realities, dreams, pain, love, and rebellion. His raw style, which vividly portrayed the truths of the street, garnered immense support from a vast number of fans. In 2009, his burning spirit led him to a challenging situation. He was arrested and imprisoned as a member of a large-scale cannabis organization. However, this didn't break him. On the contrary, the track "Deep Green feat. CHEHON" that he created while incarcerated became a testament to his struggles. This track vividly and beautifully represents the adversities and battles he faced, resonating deeply with many listeners. XILA's rap is the raw voice of the street. His lyrics, bold like graffiti but intricately detailed, depict reality. His flow over the bassline, reminiscent of a hopping lowrider, has a profound impact that stirs the soul. XILA is more than just a rapper. He is a poet and philosopher of the streets, and his music serves as the voice of an era, reaching many. His activities will undoubtedly continue in the future. His tracks, which make listeners feel the essence of street culture and the purity of delinquent culture, stand out as a unique presence in today's hip-hop scene, making him an artist to watch.
