唯一守る主義主張 それがRHYME至上主義。
変化ではなく進化し続ける難しさ。その難解に答えた作品のみ13曲を収録。
過去の作品や他と明らかに一線を画す点はなんと言っても
タイトル曲の「RHYME GUARD」を通常のレコーディング方法では無く
スタジオライブにて遂行した点にある。
ICE BAHNの特徴の1つである力強いライブでの勢いや3MCならでの掛け合いを
音源にパッケージすることにこだわった結果選ばれた手法。
また全13曲中12曲を2012年に正式メンバーとなったBEAT奉行が担当。
音、リリックのテーマ共に振り幅の広い12曲。これにより
“ICE BAHNとはBEAT奉行の音の上に玉露、KIT、FORKの3MCが乗ったもの”
という明確な形を提示。
そして残りの1曲はHIP HOPを通し世代を超えたコラボレート。
生き様を記した楽曲「GYPSY」は日本HIP HOP界のリビングレジェンド、
なんとあのDJ YUTAKAが担当。
客演曲はIB第5のメンバーことTSUBOI(アルファ)が参加した「SATISFACTION」と
10年以上同じイベントを共に続けてきたCHANNEL(F.G CREW)、NONKEY、万寿と
そのレコーディング時にそのイベントのゲストとして居合わせた組合長ことSATUSSY(韻踏合組合)が参加した、
イベント名を冠した楽曲「CLEAN UP」の2曲と厳選。
神奈川のHIP HOP CREW ICE BAHN 4th ALBUM「RHYME GUARD」。
HAMMER HEAD RECORDSより発売。
ICE BAHN ICE BAHN is a Kanagawa-based hip hop crew consisting of three MCs, Gyokuro, KIT and FORK, along with BEAT Bugyou, who serves as both beat maker and live DJ. Each member began his career around 1996, and the group was officially formed in 2001. To date, they have released five full-length albums, as well as one mini album, one single, one 12-inch analog record and one 7-inch analog record. Through numerous collaborations with a wide range of artists, ICE BAHN has earned strong recognition and support from both the overground and underground scenes. They have also maintained a prominent presence in Japan's MC battle scene, leaving a lasting mark on its history. Their distinctive style continues to inspire many followers and exert significant influence on the culture. Beginning with their appearance at B-BOY PARK in 2001, they expanded their national recognition through appearances on TV Asahi's Freestyle Dungeon, where member FORK became a regular cast member as one of the show's Monsters. Beyond live performance and battle culture, ICE BAHN has contributed music to major corporate and large-scale projects, including commercial music production for JA Zen-Noh and song contributions to the anime Hypnosis Mic. In 2025, they produced the slogan song Yokohama Dasshu for their hometown professional baseball team, the Yokohama DeNA BayStars. In 2026, they are scheduled to release their sixth full-length album, SURFACE. ICE BAHN continues to evolve independently while maintaining a distinct presence within the scene.
