This is a double-named EP from rapper TORAUMA and beatmaker 2VAY. TORAUMA had heard 2VAY's beats and thought it would be cool to work with him someday, so they actually went to Kyoto for a production camp. The EP consists of three songs, "Nostalgia," "Melody," and "Slow Burn," and 2VAY made beats that they thought would best utilize TORAUMA's unique sound, and TORAUMA rapped about topics he had never done before, making the EP as a whole experimental. In conjunction with the release, the music video for the track "Slow Burn" will be released on Final Weapon Company's YouTube channel on Wednesday, January 24 at 21:00.
