A track from the 2020 EP “CIY.” SIRUP’s music captivates with a fresh sensibility that fuses various genres grounded in Black music.
In “Your Love,” gospel-like choral work and SIRUP’s signature smooth groove make your body sway to the melodic hook.

This is KREVA’s signature song, which was also his solo debut single, released on “KREVA Day” in 2004.
Its catchy appeal has made it a fan favorite.
Over a mellow track, KREVA’s clearly enunciated rap intertwines to create a one-of-a-kind soundscape.
It’s not only a love song, but also a song infused with love for music itself.
The feeling of steadily falling as the simple rhymes flow is so pleasant.
Truly, it’s a sweet love song packed with all kinds of “tones.”

5lack, who has featured on tracks for illion, the solo project of Yojiro Noda from RADWIMPS, and is also the younger brother of PUNPEE.
The song captures a languid summer-night vibe through its rap, seeping with a sense of sorrow and loneliness.
It’s a number that makes you want to surrender to its track-like, flowing flow.
The occasional female sighs interspersed throughout add an air of melancholy.
A love song imbued with a wistful mood and a chill-out atmosphere—perfect for the nighttime.

A playful mashup by t-Ace that remixes Namie Amuro’s 1996 classic “Sweet 19 Blues.” Sung from a fresh perspective, it creates a dramatic effect that makes this masterpiece shine once again.

DAOKO, the rap singer also known for “Uchiage Hanabi,” produced by Kenshi Yonezu.
She’s known for her dazzlingly creative worldview, and Kaketeyageru showcases that signature DAOKO flair.
It’s a soothing track with a melancholic mood and fluid rhymes, evoking a sense of innocent excitement and wonder that meshes perfectly with the floating, airy sound.
The lyrics about a first love portray a dreamy, pure-hearted maiden’s feelings—sweetly tempting, too.

FNCY was formed in 2018 by three artists: Chinza DOPENESS, known for his protean, freaky free-flow; ZEN-LA-ROCK, whose character-rich funky flow stands out; and G.RINA, a bilingual singer who also handled the track production for this song.
It’s trip music with a catchy pull—an airy, mellow, trip-hop-style track that exudes an ennui-laced vibe, yet oddly leaves you with positive lyrics that stick in your ears.
