Passport & Garcon is the first album from Moment Joon, self-stylized 'immigrant rapper'. It shows both sides of Moment Joon; 'Passport' as a symbol of how Moment Joon is seen in every day life as a foreigner and a rapper in Japan, and 'Garcon' behind of it all. Visa, part time job, discrimination, stage and Hip Hop - all combined as a single story of Moment Joon's life. Featuring Hunger from Gagle and Justhis.
Artwork by Shibuya Tadaomi. Produced by NOAH.
