sleep-talkinghannya
Hannya’s classic track, “Negoto” (“Sleep Talk”).
He’s one of the rappers who represent Japanese hip-hop, able to pull off any style—from serious to playful.
Among his catalog, “Negoto” is a piece that leans especially hard into the playful side.
When this track was released, the show “Freestyle Dungeon” was on air, and part of a verse features DOTAMA showing up in the lyrics.
It really hits the spot, so if you’re into MC battles, this is a must-check!
Blown Away feat. BicJAPANĪZUMAGENĪZU
One of the hottest hip-hop units right now, Japanese Magenez.
The duo consists of Son GONG and JAGGLA, and they’re gaining popularity not only in the Kansai region but nationwide.
The group also has a quasi-regular member, Bic.
This track, “Buttobu feat.
Bic” (meaning “Fly Off” or “Get Blown Away”), is a collaboration with Bic, and as the title suggests, it revolves around the theme of “flying.” What’s especially unique is that Bic’s final verse is composed entirely of gags from the comedy duo Ima Ikuyo-Kuruya.
Let you go.Namichie
Namichie is a rapper with an outstanding academic background—she graduated at the top of her class from Tokyo University of the Arts.
True to what that pedigree suggests, her skills as a rapper are high, placing her among the most technically skilled female MCs.
On top of that, she has a rich sensibility and tends to use fundamentally unique expressions.
Her track “Omae o Nogasu” (Letting You Go) especially highlights those qualities.
The surreal lyrics—about releasing a pet turtle—strike a memorable balance between something that feels realistic and yet somehow unreal.

DanborghiniSUSHIBOYS
SUSHIBOYS are a hip-hop duo representing Saitama Prefecture.
Their laid-back, chill rap stands out, yet despite that style, they’re incredibly skillful—in the best kind of unexpected way.
They’ve been releasing tracks that are both stylish and unique.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “Danborghini.” It’s a wild concept about picking up a lover in a Lamborghini made of cardboard, but it also offers a sharp, subtle satire of money worship and materialism.
Delusional DanceBlumio
Blumio is one of the most famous Japanese rappers on YouTube.
He keeps making waves on the platform by introducing overseas hip-hop and doing impressions of well-known Japanese rappers.
Beyond YouTube, he’s released some unique tracks as well.
Among them, a song I highly recommend is Mosou Dance (Delusion Dance).
It’s themed around that annoying senior who shows up at drinking parties, and it stands out for its mix of humor and all-too-relatable truths.
I want to become this kind of person.ushimitsudokisou
Suiki to Sanada 2.0 is a unit formed by GagK Ranger members Pochomkin and Sanada.
To be frank, it’s a unit that’s all about goofing around, and every track is packed with exceptional uniqueness.
Among them, the work I particularly recommend is Konna Ningen ni Naritai.
It’s memorable for its lyrics sampling Kenji Miyazawa’s Ame ni mo Makezu, but the kind of person the protagonist aspires to be is hilariously off the mark.
GALFY feat. PizzaLoveJ-REXXX
DJ J-REXXX is a deejay who commands overwhelming props in the reggae scene of eastern Japan.
He’s also known as one of the fastest-tongued deejays in the scene and is famous for frequently collaborating with rappers.
This track, “GALFY feat.
PizzaLove,” is one such collaboration with rapper PizzaLove.
It’s themed around GALFY sweats—the kind you sometimes see worn by yankii (delinquent-style kids).
While it definitely leans into the gag from the jump, it’s simply a highly skillful track, and for fans of trap, it’s extremely addictive.
