負けられない理由がある
失うものならたくさんある
あの時より目に物言わす
このステージでまた喉を枯らす
目を閉じて仲間の歌
心フツフツ バイブスプラスワン
上がらんうだつと飲み干した酒
DJ GLISSと現場へ乗り込む
長い長い
レールの上で
長い長い
あの夜を超えて
この心臓が止まるまで
この音楽を愛し抜くのさ
耐え凌ぐのさ
街の雑踏
俺を照らした午前のミラーボール
時に成功たまにはエラー
そんな時でも
良い風だ
理解されなくてもいい
美化しない思い出もいい
引かずとも前のめりがいい
Soul燃やす仲間がいい
贅沢せずともチープでいい
この一瞬 愛して残せばいい
やるべきこと ただやればいい
人より自分を信じ抜けばいい
がんばるな それ 綺麗事
そんな楽するやつに知性を問う
いやいや、
無理も禁物か
でも辛抱しながらしっぽ掴む
今、バリスタからロースター
大器晩成の俺Low スタート
言い訳桃太郎どんぶらーこ
豆と包み込むオブラート
今年も仲間と飲める幸せ
噛み締める時の力で
歌詞を書く黙々と今
飾らないこれはIdeaのDigger
赤裸々に書いた言葉に翼
お前の地元のダチにも繋がる
理想に近づく影
嫌なことも笑って済ませ
理解されなくてもいい
美化しない思い出もいい
引かずとも前のめりがいい
Soul燃やす仲間がいい
贅沢せずともチープでいい
この一瞬 愛して残せばいい
やるべきこと ただやればいい
人より自分を信じ抜けばいい

Okayama-based rapper Dat will release a new EP "Itsu no manika no Ima wo" on April 18 (Thursday).
Dat, who also works as the manager of the coffee shop "EMPIRE COFFEE ROASTERS," is a rapper with a strong flow and unadorned lyrics that reflect his life in a straightforward manner. Belonging to local label THE WEST CLASSIC RECORDS, he has released many works with an organic sound that samples jazz and soul. Last year, he released the EP "IN DA HOUSE" as well as the single "BBS (B-BOY SESSION)". In addition, he has been actively involved in other activities, such as participating in the single "Asobi" by Fusewa, hosting an event in Okayama, and releasing a music video for "Nukumori," which is also included in the current album.
The EP to be released this time is based on the concept of "when is now" as it marks the 10th year since Dat started rapping. The sound is put together in a mellow and calm line, and the work is a song about his activities and life as a rapper. Produced by Osaka beatmaker yamabequo, as well as KAZ-SHIT, who worked on "BBS (B-BOY SESSION)," and kakasi, who also participated in "IN DA HOUSE.

Artist Profile
DAT
DAT / Okayama / THE WEST CLASSIC RECORDS DAT is an MC based in Okayama, Japan. At the age of 18, DAT picked up the mic and was shocked by the presence of western heavyweights - HANABIS, FEIDA-WAN, LEESOK, NO LOOK PLAN - and fell in love with HIPHOP. Through "BACK YARD," an event he founded in his hometown, he has been rooted in the scene, connecting with fierce competitors in and outside of the prefecture, and carving out a path for himself. In 2021, he was selected to represent UMB Okayama. He has made his mark not only with his name, but also with his ability. Their sound is based on sampling, and has an earthy but core sound with a foundation of jazz and soul. The lyrics are unadorned and unpretentious, spitting out life as it is. The flow is rigid. The words are heavy. There are no lies. His many works include "DAT TRIP" (2021), "GOOD NIGHT MORNING" (2022), EP "IN DA HOUSE" (2023), "itsu no manikano Ima wo" (2024), "Underneath the Colorful is Always Plain" (2024), and many more. He continues to send out music, including singles, without stopping. With Okayama on his back, he travels around the country with a single microphone. Even from the countryside, you can do it. I have proven it, and I will continue to prove it.
