Awich – Love Me Up (Prod. Chaki Zulu) (2022)

Awich, who hails from Okinawa Prefecture and has produced numerous famous rappers, is a member of the hip-hop collective YENTOWN and began her solo career in 2020.

She quickly drew attention with her mysterious aura and addictive lyrics.

The verses unfold at a relaxed tempo and are incredibly pleasant to listen to.

It’s the kind of song you’ll want to play while relaxing with your partner.

Bad BadAwich10rank/position

Awich – Bad Bad (Prod. Chaki Zulu)

Awich is an artist from Okinawa.

She learned English on U.S.

military bases from a young age, so her English is excellent, and because she also studied abroad, her music—positively speaking—doesn’t feel “Japanese” at all.

Among her works, the recommended R&B track is “Bad Bad.” The vocal line carries a slow-jam vibe, while the track, though exotic, firmly adheres to R&B fundamentals.

Japan is often called a latecomer in music, but isn’t her work something we can proudly present to the world?

GuerrillaAwich11rank/position

Awich – Guerilla (Official Visualizer)

Rapper Awich, whose powerful, sexy lyrics and commanding rap skills have her hailed as a queen of the new era of hip-hop.

Her track “Guerrilla,” featured as the theme song for SoftBank’s FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 “The Same Goal” commercial, amps you up with its refrained phrases and cool beat.

The lyrics, infused with her feelings for Okinawa—her hometown and the tournament’s host—are sure to raise the voltage not only for the players but for the spectators as well.

True to its title, which means a surprise attack, it’s a number that fuels a stance of facing adversity head-on.

Happy Xmas（War Is Over）Awich12rank/position

Awich – Happy X-mas (War Is Over)

When it comes to John Lennon’s songs with an anti–Vietnam War message, “Happy Xmas” comes to mind.

It reached No.

2 on the UK Singles Chart and is a beloved classic Christmas song.

There are many cover versions, but I recommend the one by Awich, a female rapper from Okinawa, released in 2020.

Her soulful vocals make your heart burn with emotion—it’s a truly outstanding performance.

It was also used as the ending theme for the film “Silent Tokyo.” You can really feel the anti-war message that carries on John Lennon’s legacy in this track.

Hot TopicAwich13rank/position

Awich – Hot Topic (Prod. ineedmorebux)

This track by Awich features mellow rap that shines over an urban, atmospheric sound.

Released as a single in October 2024, it conveys a strong resolve to stay true to oneself without yielding to unfair treatment or societal pressures.

It’s a stylish yet strong-willed number you’ll want to play when reflecting at the end of the day or when you need a boost for tomorrow.

Love Me Up (Prod. Chaki Zulu)Awich14rank/position

Awich – Love Me Up (Prod. Chaki Zulu) (2022)

It’s a song that opens with a bright rap, but the content is dark.

A seductive love song that plays with the phrases “roll it” and “smoke it.” It showcases just how high-level Awich is.

The catchy melody and her distinctive vocals really stick in your ears.

While it’s not overwhelmingly dark, the lyrics are trippy in many ways, so definitely look into it.

In a sense, the catchy melody actually makes it feel heavier.

Also, pay attention to producer Chaki Zulu’s excellent taste.
