After 15 years as an independent artist, BALA SBKN makes his first release under his newly formed music company.
This double A-side single explores universal themes such as true friendship, success, and making a living, drawing from BALA SBKN's personal experiences and his current mindset as he begins a new chapter with his team.
Serving as both a statement piece and a foundation for future releases, the project offers a glimpse into the direction of his next phase as an artist.
With a significant step forward in production quality, these two tracks leave space for listeners, the music scene, and the hip-hop community to reflect on the meaning and culture of hip-hop itself.
**BALA SBKN** is a rapper from Yamato City, Kanagawa Prefecture. His breakout track *Ryusei* has surpassed 7million streams, and he has collaborated with top artists across genres such as CIMBA and CHEHON. He has also contributed music to talents from other industries, including Nuts magazine model *An* and TV personality *Sota Kawano*, earning a reputation for his disciplined and uncompromising approach to music production. On stage, his presence is equally impactful. He sold out a solo live show at *THE BRIDGE YOKOHAMA*, formerly one of Kanagawas top clubs before its closure. He also holds the record for most wins in the Kanagawa regional qualifiers of UMB (Ultimate MC Battle) and claimed 2nd place nationwide at *UMB 2022 GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP*. His latest release, *Lonely Star feat. X 1ark*, features 18-year-old rising rapper *X 1ark*, known for viral hits like *Sad Emotion* and *ADVANCE*. The collaboration shows BALA SBKN s continued commitment to pushing the boundaries of modern hip-hop. He remains an artist to watch closely.
