I'll be honest the so-called repetitive "beat" in trap and drill?
To me is worse than boring, and auto tune overused like this tends to lack much thrill.
So I am not one to strongly recommend this, but their emcees' flow is chill:

It's more about raisin attention outside of Japan.
That there are emcees who are active, though for me: 9sari Group is perhaps the biggest crew to stan?

A lot of them seem lost the the contemporary malaise.
Not reppin Hip Hop roots, lost in a derivative gansta rap daze.
It's not that Japan doesn't have excellent deejays!

Hip Hop on the whole.
Seems to have lost acclaim for the role:

Of the true turntablist.
Those who elevate deejayin beyond puttin on a disc or curatin a playlist.

This year we are approaching the 25th annual Hip Hop Appreciation week May 15th ー May 21st, 2023.
As I shared earlier, the theme this year is the emcee.

So, the idea is to encourage more of a conscious rap sort of vibe.
So for at least one week, I will hopefully continue to focus on some emcees who may be a bit more obscure, maybe outside of your more mainstream tribe.
