My Take
Honestly, a rapper out of Fukui catches me off guard in the best way. I always pictured hip-hop as a big-city, neon-soaked thing, so the idea of a kid spitting his own bars from snowy Hokuriku just makes me grin — music really doesn't care where you're from. Born in 2003, he's barely into his twenties, and there's something I love about that: a regular local guy who went to high school in Sabae, now gripping a mic and putting his own words out there. I don't know the flashy credits yet, and I won't pretend I do, but raw young energy clawing its way up from a small town is already cool enough for me. That hunger is the whole appeal. This is a kid I'd happily bet on, just to see how far the runway takes him.
