Osaka-based rapper INNOCENSE collaborated with Fukuoka beatmaker CROWD, whose work with RITTO, ZAO, and others is fresh in the mind. This song was born after INNOCENSE and CROWD hit it off on a night when INNOCENSE was freestyling at a club on Oyafuko-dori. WAKE UP JPN UNDERGROUND" is a different level of music by survivors who have both been through the dense nights in Kansai and Kyushu.

In a world where money is made and music is massively consumed on a daily basis as long as the number of times it is played, even music is processed as if it is being raped. It may be easy to live as one is swept along without questioning the information being broadcast by the media, but it is a naive trap. Before you know it, it accumulates like poison and robs you of your thoughts. It's time to bring back our beloved level music. The music that will change your mind about what you were thinking yesterday will come back to life from the underground. Sick and ILL are two different things, you know.
This song is a wake-up call for those who choose to think and act as human beings instead of living like cattle.
