"Smog Contrast" is an EP crafted so that its five tracks flow together as if they were a single continuous piece.
Both TORAUMA and bbls share a somewhat twisted nature-negative yet forward-looking, stubborn yet somehow turning things into a positive. The combination of these traits runs through the entire project, creating an atmosphere similar to the idea of "minus × minus = plus."

In the production process, TORAUMA, who usually relies on melody and flow as his strengths, intentionally placed a greater focus on rap, keeping live performance in mind while developing the tracks. The two worked carefully on the transitions between songs, shaping the EP into one seamless sonic experience.

The title "Smog Contrast" was inspired by the abstract contrasts and atmosphere found throughout the project, and it naturally came about during a casual conversation at a drive-thru while the EP was being created.

Artist Profile

  • TORAUMA

    TORAUMA (Trauma) / Rapper Born in 1991, from Towada City, Aomori Prefecture. Affiliated with M.S.W and Final Weapon Company. Known for his versatile beat handling, human-centered lyrics chronicling the pain and struggles he has experienced in his own life, and his catchy hook sensibility. He discovered net rap in high school and began rapping at home. He then moved to the Kanto region, using his style of throwing himself into various challenges as his weapon. After returning to Aomori for two years, he was invited by Okinawa-based 604 rappers MAVEL and HANG to collaborate. He moved to Okinawa while traveling in a kei car and joined 604 in 2018. He later joined Final Weapon Company (FWC). His 2016 SoundCloud release TSUBAKI gained attention, and his music saw significant expansion following its 2020 release across major digital stores. In September 2022, he released the EP Blue frost as a self-introduction, followed by the EP Violet Traveler in October. In March 2021, he released his 1st album Sternbergia, marking the start of full-scale production leveraging his Okinawan base, including collaborations with Okinawan rapper MuKuRo. In 2023, TSUBAKI went viral on TikTok, propelling it to #3 on the iTunes and Apple Music Hip Hop/Rap charts in Japan and #1 on Billboard JAPAN Heatseekers Songs chart. Subsequently, the track surpassed 10 million streams on both Spotify and YouTube Music Video, cementing its status as his signature song and establishing a solid presence within the scene. In 2026, he plans to hold his first solo live concert, serving as a bridge between reflecting on the past and looking toward the future.
