ONE☆DRAFT (Def. a bit more on the pop side, but I really liked the rap sections)

I used to listen to these guys religiously back in the day.

 

Squash Squad

 

KID FRESINO (Pretty gud)

 

LOLLL I got suggested Yurufuwa Gang on Spotify the other day. They were featured on 88 too. Not exactly my cup of tea...

I think, generally, the Koreans do rap better, but there's def. some gems here and there in the Japanese scene.

Corny ass shit. Always.

 

But the biggest thing there is Rip Slyme, hands down. Teriyaki Boyz got mainstream attention after Tokyo Drift, but besides m-flo and maybe Dragon Ash (which is already a stretch, as they are most pop rock with hip hop influences nowadays), that's it for the big hitters, AFAIK

They really do show up all over the place. I mainly got into them because they do a lot of collabs with SALU, tbh. Although, I think the main reason they came to mind was actually because they namedrop THE BLUE HEARTS in that song, and KOHH also mentions them in one of his tracks, so I kind of linked them together in my head.

 

It's funny that you mention KID FRESINO as well, since NENE, the female MC from Yurufuwa Gang, is featured on Arcades, the B-side for the video you linked. XD

She actually sounds quite nice in this! I guess I'm not too crazy about the voice modulation effects YG does then. 

While SALU's voice is a bit nasal (but pretty nice), the production on all of his tracks & collabs are top notch!

I was literally gonna comment Tokyo Drift by Teriyaki Boyz as I used to listen to it so much as a kid!

 

I mean my signature has the best lyric from it xD

I love how no one mentioned that awful satsuki rap album, as if the collective unconscious of MH decidedly erased it from memory nnnnnnn

I wanted to forget...
