It’s one of the most popular tracks in all of Japanese rap.

Needless to say, the highlight of this song is the most famous 16 bars in Japan, delivered by Zeebra.

When announcer Taichi Masu appeared on TV with Zeebra, he even rapped it perfectly without looking at the lyrics—this is required learning in the Japanese rap world.

Make sure you’ve got these lyrics memorized.

That said, when you sing it at karaoke, someone will probably know the words, so even if you mess up, they’ll have your back! Aco’s high-pitched chorus might be a bit tricky, though.

GOLDEN MICZeebra feat. AI

Singer-songwriter AI, who enjoys strong support for her soulful vocals.

But here’s the thing… Among all female rappers in Japan, she’s got top-tier rap skills.

Given how good her singing is, that might make sense—but first-time listeners will probably be shocked by how skilled she is.

“GOLDEN MIC” is a classic by Zeebra, and this time we’ve picked the version featuring AI.

It’s old-school, yet the flow is crafted at a high level that doesn’t feel dated.

The difficulty is about average, but if you want to make it sound truly good, the challenge level shoots up.

Definitely practice it and try to master it.
