RIP SLYME’s one-of-a-kind masterpieces and popular tracks: the allure that colors the hip-hop scene

POPS writer/editorKEI
Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

RIP SLYME has served as a bridge conveying hip-hop’s fresh appeal, capturing the hearts of music fans.

With poppy, catchy melodies, addictive lyrics, and danceable beats, their unique sonic world has continued to move countless listeners.

Beyond their party vibes, even their mellow tracks carry an effortless groove brimming with a natural, body-swaying dynamism.

With their limited-time revival in 2025, we’re putting a spotlight on the enduring charm of their classic tracks.
