KREVA’s best, so far

By Shay • Mar 19th, 2008 • Category: Check it Out

With just a handful of years as a soloist, KREVA has built an extensive repertoire and his “best” is out now.

KREVA’s “best collection”, appropriately titled クレバのベスト盤 (KREVA no Best Ban, Kreva’s best record) is out March 19. Featuring 16 tracks of KREVA goodness, the album is packed full of catchy beats, rhymes, and hooks.

KREVA no Best Ban includes all 12 of his singles, a couple tracks from his second album, and a worthy b-side. Doing the math, that’s only 15 tracks. So what’s the 16th?

The album’s last track is fresh new tune.

The DVD that comes with the limited edition release of KREVA no Best Ban contains some cool videos. From TV spots to an interview, the DVD adds to an already kickin’ release.

“THE SHOW”, “国民的行事” (Kokuminteki Gyouji), “Have a nice day!”, “くればいいのに” (Kureba Iinoni), “ストロングスタイル” (Strong Style), it’s all so good. Whichever of KREVA’s singles you like most is totally subjective with so many outstanding and different songs to choose from. The strength in KREVA’s work is lyrical and notable in each tracks’ editing and mixing. A “best of” release and I still can’t get enough.

KREVA no Best Ban is one of the most consistent “best of” works in quite some time.

As for the album cover, KREVA makes quite the fashion statement wearing yellow rubber gloves with the “K”.
