IEYO CHAS! (Chassss)
Chassss! Say it Clearly! Chassss!
We’ve floated up like smoke
Stop talking crap I’ll stab your eyes with a lime Your blood will be drifting for 16 bars
Try spelling your name for 8 bars I don’t want to use my special Muay Thai moves on you
Don’t pretend you’ve got balls But don’t run away
I’ll rap till your skin bleeds You’ll run away like in a scene from an old Bollywood movie
My slang will smash your face You got it now, right? Think about it
If I was a snake, I’d constrict you If I was a fighting fish, I’d bite you If I was a dog, I’d take you in my jaws and shake you
Knowledge acquisition is more valuable than cocaine It has more power than a General Secretary We’ve been doing this for over 10 years
You must understand by now If you can’t hear well, clean your ears out with cotton buds

Rising out of the bong haze, Thai master JUU4E is back with his second solo album for EM Records. Fusing hip hop and trap with a pan-Asian blend of influences and samples from the traditional and pop musics of his native country, as well as the musics of Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan and other regions across the continent, "Crazy World" is an ambitious and sonically adventurous album alive with unexpected juxtapositions, deft production, irresistible grooves and a joyous heart. A true solo album, all the tracks here are performed/arranged/produced by JUU4E, with the final mix provided by Young-G of stillichimiya/OMK. With a versatile and playful vocal style, JUU4E delivers thoughtful, positive lyrics and intriguing imagery, dealing with issues both local and global, old and new, with themes of celebration as well as social criticism. Featuring a cover of a Taiwan pop classic by Teresa Teng, "Crazy World" is available on CD/LP/DL, and comes with informative liner notes and English translations of the lyrics. Cover art: Shinsuke Takagi (Soi48/OMK)
Artist Profile
JUU4E
Never colonized, Thailand has remained purely itself across the years even while developing, evolving and selectively adopting international influences; the same can be said of Thai popular music, and can be clearly heard in previous releases of Thai music on EM Records. Perhaps the exception to this instinct of "pattana" (Thai for development or evolution) has been the luk thung genre, which, despite great forward leaps in the 1960s and 1970s, has been stagnant since the 1990s. New Luk Thung is here, however, as JUU4E and his friends update the luk thung genre with keyboards, drum machines, and samples from luk thung classics. Contemporary hip hop and trap are fused with luk thung and ramwong elements, as well as the traditional Isan/Lao instruments khaen and phin. Ex-biker JUU4E has been musically active since the 1990s as a respected rapper, musician and producer, relocating from Bangkok to the musically rich Isan region. His lyrics, in Thai, English, Khmer and Japanese, deal predominantly, humorously and punningly with ganja.
