"TOFU", a rapper from Wakayama, is set to release his new album "New Skool" on Wednesday, November 19.
The 10-track project was created together with the acclaimed producer "Homunculu$".
Wakayama has been drawing major attention as a region that continues to produce standout hip-hop artists. As a pioneer of that scene, "TOFU" has teamed up with his fellow hometown producer "Homunculu$" to deliver a monumental record.
The album blends elements of Trap, Ratchet, and R&B, with TOFU riding each beat effortlessly, creating a unique groove that feels both nostalgic and new. Among today's Japanese rap scene-often dominated by harder sounds-his choice to incorporate a classic Ratchet-style track stands out as a bold artistic statement.
Through this album, "TOFU" expresses his current state, lifestyle, and vision as an artist in a raw and authentic way.
Alongside the release, a nationwide tour is also scheduled, signaling the start of a new chapter for "TOFU".
Stay tuned-this is just the beginning.
