UP HILL BATTLE

LAMP EYE

応答せよ応答せよ管制塔

こちらLE.LE応答せよ管制塔

2台のTurntableと一本のMIC

お馴染み

DJ YASと俺RINOから送ろう

音の震海から時を超えた

メッセージ HEYよく聴け

MIC Check123何周しても

DJ Come on bring the beat

片道燃料での初フライト

から三十年来変わならぬ相棒

のBeatに乗せばら撒く愛を

すいも甘いも全て飲み込み対応

振海に潜り探したZion

あの日から続く7日間戦争

ここまでが前奏!?って意地と執念

干支を跨いで何周目?

童顔だった青写真も老眼

心眼で磨く言葉のボ-ガン

桜蝉時雨紅葉雪景色

絶妙な継ぎ足しで守るレシピ

軽視する奴の第3の目 レーシック

そうやって築き上げたベーシック

Yeah Yeah年中Don't stop

えんやこうらよって進むぜ日夜

平成から令和

大箱小箱問わずかき回す

Yeah Yeah

Bang Bang Don't stop

高み目指し深く潜った潜水艦

腐った体制下に改正開始

バベルの要塞に集中砲火

偶然じゃないぜ全て必然

絡み合ってく運命とMix Tape

絶対でっかくなるぜいつかきっと

幕下から捲し立てた実録

流した汗と涙何千ℓ

幕内目指したはじめの一歩

敵ワ我ナリ自問自答

三面鏡と睨めっこ

羽ばたいた憎まれっ子

日本列島B-BOY化現象

ユートピアはそう遠くねえと

休日返上盆暮もアップデート

結果このシーンに文句ねえよ

今こそ胸を張れB-boy

とくに幾千夜超えた90's boy

クソガキと雷親父のゲンコツ

勝手知ったる合わせ技一本

日出る國に根差したHIPHOP

PEACE.UNITY.LOVE&HAVING FUN

Artist Profile

  • LAMP EYE

    LAMP EYE is a legendary hip-hop duo consisting of RINO LATINA and DJ YAS. RINO set the standard by spitting "Verse 1" (Shogen 1) on the undisputed Japanese hip-hop classic "Shogen" , a monumental track produced by DJ YAS. Formed in the early 1990s as a trio featuring RINO, DJ YAS, and GAMA, LAMP EYE laid the groundwork for the dawn of the Japanese hip-hop scene. They served as organizers and headliners for various legendary underground events, such as BLACK MONDAY, Anettai Urin , Onidamari , and Kaminari Okoshi. In 1996, they performed at "Thumpin' CAMP" at the Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall, which was Japan's very first hip-hop festival. RINO and DJ YAS also played core roles in KAMINARI-KAZOKU, a supergroup formed alongside iconic figures like YOU THE ROCK and TWIGY, releasing the album 330 More Answer No Question in 2004. Both artists have also pursued highly active solo careers: RINO has dropped two solo albums (Carnival of Rino and II) under the moniker RINO LATINA II. Meanwhile, DJ YAS has produced for a wide array of artists, releasing two solo albums (Light and Smoking Gun), as well as putting out music as a member of the elite producer collective, KEMURI PRODUCTIONS.
