The sound that brilliantly fuses hip-hop’s groovy beats with punk rock’s energy made a striking impact with Skebo King’s debut single released in 1997.
Riding on a deep, heavy bassline and sharp scratching, the flow strikes a perfect balance of humor and cool.
In 2000, the track was included as a remixed version on their major-label debut album “SUPER BEST,” revived with fresh arrangements by Captain Funk.
It’s a standout not only for lighting up party scenes, but also as an exceptional soundtrack for a drive.
Enjoying near-legendary status, this track remains a shining landmark of the Japanese mixture-rock scene.
