SEAMO’s latest album Round About has been runnin’ around the charts since its release on October 30th.
Round About is the Japanese rapper’s third album. It’s packed full of upbeat and thoughtful rhymes and definetly leads further into ‘hip-pop’ territory.
Saying that Outsider can rap fast is an understatement. I’ve almost never heard syllables spouted off so rapidly.
Outsider (아웃사이) may be Korea’s fastest rapper and he may very well be capable of taking the world title one day. Signed with MC Sniper’s Sniper Sound label, he is currently working on new material.

If someone ever kept track of the most times the word “tongue” (タン in this case) was said in a song, SOUL’d OUT should win. Beyond that, the hip-hop trio’s latest single is cool, catchy, and the PV is a visual treat. Tasty I say.
SOUL’d OUT’s “Tongue Te Tongue” is the 2nd of a [...]

I can’t help but love “I Love You” by Namolla Family.
“I Love You” (사랑해요, Saranghaeyo) by Namolla Family (나몰라 패밀리, I Don’t Know Family) featuring Kim Kyung Rok (김경록) of V.O.S and Tae In is pretty hot. The single, off of Namolla Family’s debut album is sweet and cool and the music video does [...]
So I finally picked up a copy of Kanye West’s new album Graduation.
While spinning the CD in my stereo I was flipping through the album book. We’ve all seen the cover of Kanye’s album but I never questioned who the artist behind the work was. I just thought, “that looks cool”.
All the art on [...]
With popular artists releasing so many singles, the CD cover artists in Japan must be busy.

Since 2005, SEAMO has released 8 [...]
After what seems like forever, KREVA’s new album is finally here!
The stylish Japanese emcee dropped his new album in the early part of September. His long-awaited 3rd album, よろしくお願いします (Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu) hit stores and quickly entered the Oricon Album charts Top 10.
The time in between the first single and the final release of the [...]
Skull hase been living up to his second single’s title “Here to Stay” while his other single still holds it down on the charts. But the “powerful voice for Korea may soon be silenced”.
Korean reggae artist Skull’s US debut single “Boom Di Boom Di” is still on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Sales — [...]
