Sitting on Tatami
Practicing Karate with my rhyme book
My soul got sucked into hiphop,I called it "Shang-Tsung"
This is the way of life,Now that I'm recognized
Inside my head, there's a voice screaming "Test your might"
Put on the headphones,driven by impulse,bust
A sick flows
There's no medicine for this syndrome
Spend my youth with it,who's spit it better than anyone?
Started as a padawan,now you can call me veteran
It told me how I could extinguish my weakness,It even told me how to speak english as you hear now
Yea,I'm still independent,no agency
But look how I Bridging the gap with full proficiency
So competitive,but I'm still standing
True enemie is yourself I'm about to transcend it
If struggle is the lesson then,pedal to the metal,man
I'm a keep it accelerate,this is how I settle thangs
(Hook)
Every city, every where we go
We keep the flow going
Our style’s no mimic, it's all home growing
Relax and chill
Instead of popping pills
Don't need no additive
Because this shit’s that ill
Every city, every where we go
We keep the flow going
Our style’s no mimic, it's all home growing
No place for any rappers that be lacking skills
Can’t test on this authenticness
This shit’s that real
Please come, throw a hand up
For the magic rapping man that’s
Throwing flows from coast to coast
Getting a crowd of folk to stand up~
From ciphers in Leimert
Now across the Earth in fashion
Countless battles and freestyle sessions
Not to mention track lists
For all the scribbled verses
Old recordings lacking back-ups
Lit flame that’s uncontained
And burned the match book
From all the back
Pack rapping geniuses
To very favorite scratch hooks
It’s the passion kept me crafting
For perfection
So now it’s like
1 for the money
24 for the show
Leave tips for the DJ
And drown him in smoke
24’s a weird number, it’s dedicated to Kobe
Make sure to grab a picture
Hashtag it with “GOAT”
Contact with home
Every time I let the vinyl spin
A serenade of violins
Beautiful spiral patternings
Encouraging the gathering
Of audiences bobbin’ heads
Doing it for the love of it
Pen and pad is my only friend
Every city, every where we go
We keep the flow going
Our style’s no mimic, it's all home growing
Relax and chill
Instead of popping pills
Don't need no additive
Because this shit’s that ill
Every city, every where we go
We keep the flow going
Our style’s no mimic, it's all home growing
No place for any rappers that be lacking skills
Can’t test on this authenticness
This shit’s that real

TAKUMA THE GREAT
TAKUMA THE GREAT's new EP "Nan-no. Sono" has finally arrived.
In recent years, even in the world of dark news that has been hit by the corona wreck, Takuma himself does not bend his passion for rap, and more than anything else, he packs his love for hip-hop into his skills, telling the waiting listeners, "Nan-no.Sono(Ain't no thang)" EP with the expression of intention.
The faces that supports the sound this time
Ko-ney, who is one of the best MPC players in Japan and is expanding his activities overseas, and SR23, who has been supporting Takuma with his versatile instrument playing skills since his 1st album, TAKUMA's rap skills exploded with bold sampling.
The song "DEAD SERIOUS" is still fresh in our memory.
Level 13, and Yamaguchi-born, has a reputation both in Japan and abroad for its chill and dope beats.
With m-al, the same crew as TAKUMA, TOSHIKI HAYASHI (%C) from HOOLIGANZ, orthodox Boombap, jazzy, and even approaching G funk sounds, this album is a wide variety of high-quality hip-hop. You can see the commitment to.
The guest rapper is a rapper from Osaka who is a fan of TAKUMA himself.
TATSU, MC Yao Zong (Zion P), a Taiwanese rapper with whom TAKUMA has deepened friendships in recent years, and TAKUMA's ally and overseas activity partner.
TONY INKWELL and others are perfectly on the side, making it a TAKUMA-like selection that transcends language and race.
Beyond Japanese rap,
Let's all experience TAKUMA's view of the world with the world in mind.
