Yuki Chiba - Okuman Choja
55

Idk what to say, the beats are good, but all Yuki Chiba's verses sound the same chill laid back flows, lots of the songs are just repetitions of the song name on the chorus and it gets boring - my opinion of the first half

The album gets more interesting with song 7 and 8 but other songs in the later half still have the same issues as the first half

Top 3 favourite tracks: Satsu No Tabatachi, Kasego, Takusan Aru

SEEDA - Oyakoboshi
NR

An amazingly produced and well paced album. Definitely a standout in Japanese Rap

Edit: 94 -> 97

After listening to it some more and understanding the context behind songs like L.P.D.N, Kawasaki Blue, Oyakoboshi and the skits, I feel like this album only gets better. The messages throughout and stellar production make this album one of, if not the greatest Japanese rap album of this time.

KANDYTOWN - LAST ALBUM
NR

One of the best Japanese Rap albums with amazing beats by Neetz and memorable verses by the group.

XG - WOKE UP
85

No other female k-pop group has a rap lineup this good πŸ‘€

NITRO MICROPHONE UNDERGROUND - NITRO X 99-09
NR

Probably the best compilation album in Japanese Rap alongside Buddha Brand's Best of the Best. Has all their greatest hits and ones you can't easily find in the west on streaming services e.g. Nitrich and The Chronicle

NITRO MICROPHONE UNDERGROUND - NITRO MICROPHONE UNDERGROUND
87

The first 8 track run is legendary. A classic Japanese rap album. Also the interludes are fire such as PYRAMID and INFINITY.

Favourite tracks: 3 ON TREE (SANJYU SHIT), REQUIEM, BAMBU, ASAMA131, NITRO MICROPHONE UNDERGROUND, 45 FINGAZ of DEATH, Bokumo

Least favourite tracks: HARDCORE

LEX - Logic 2
63

A more consistent release by Lex which is enjoyable but doesn't amount to too much, it doesn't feel too much like an album as a lot of the songs are very varying in style.

凛として時雨 [Ling tosite sigure] - Trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrue Lies
90

Amazing LTS single that is definitely unique in their catalogue. Love the mixing on this compared to on some of their other work.

HENTAI SHINSHI CLUB - HERO
80

YOKAZE is already a classic track in their discography and the rest of this EP is still great.

HENTAI SHINSHI CLUB - Shitauchi
80

Addictive EP, used to have this on repeat so much since it is only 4 tracks. WILYWNKA's rapping releases dopamine in my head, VIGORMAN also has some catchy hooks and GeG's production wraps up their styles perfectly.

撅田ァむフゑー[Umeda Cypher] - γƒ“γƒƒγ‚°γ‚Έγƒ£γƒ³γƒœγ‚Έγ‚§γƒƒγƒˆ
79

γƒ“γƒƒγ‚°γ‚Έγƒ£γƒ³γƒœγ‚Έγ‚§γƒƒγƒˆ is a great opening and title track to the album, with it also being one of their more experimental tracks. SPACE INVADER is a fun follow up track by Japidiot and the rest of the album is great with some exceptions. Unique beats and production really make this album good with the contrasting styles by the members. It feels so much more raw rather than how clean their latest album is.

PUNPEE - Return of the Sofakingdom
78

A good sequel to the original Sofakindgom EP. Sticks with the same formula and has only 2 features again and 5 tracks.

Favourite tracks: Award Tour, Messiah Complex, Operation : Multiverse of Love, BIG GUY
Least favourite tracks: Free Roamin' (Self-regi Dystopia)

PUNPEE - The Sofakingdom
76

This EP is indeed an EP. Punpee is one of the first Japanese rappers I got into and he for sure has a unique style. I can understand why some people won't enjoy it but it has lots of character. Operation : Doomsday Love was my most streamed song of 2022.

Favourite tracks: Operation : Doomsday Love, Wonder Wall, ε€’θΏ½δΊΊ

Shame they couldn't come up with an actual title for the EP and just named it after the songs on it. Already love Ref:rain so can't complain about another version

Favourite tracks: 800, Ref:rain -3 nuits ver.-
