OTOKOBUNE

Born in the Heisei era, raised in the spirit of Showa.
In this Reiwa age, an old-school soul sets sail with pride.

The long-awaited debut album OTOKOBUNE
Kyotos own 136youngboss embarks on his bold voyage.

Every track crafted by his trusted ally, Dodge Noledge,
weaving beats inspired by Japanese ballads and enka.
Together, they carve a new path in Japanese hip-hop
where honor and human connection still matter.

After changing his name from 136,
he laid the groundwork with EPs Benten Kozou and Enma Daioh,
capturing Showa-era scenery and the way of the true man.
Now, at last
he unveils his 10-track debut album.

Themes of conviction, the roads he walked, what hes seen,
what he needs to say, the nights that nearly broke him,
and above all, gratitude for friends and loved ones
his unfiltered truth is embedded in every verse.

This isnt just rap. These are soul-stirring kotodama
spoken truths that resonate deep.
His current peak,
a true culmination of his first chapter
and, without a doubt, the finest work of his career.

Guest features include:
13ELL and POWER WAVE from his Kyoto roots,
JASS from Osakas hip-hop crew Tha Jointz,
and rising star Shuto from Okinawa.

This is a gathering of kindred spirits, connected through sound.
All of it
now loaded aboard the KANBUNE,
as it sails out into the vast ocean of Reiwa.
