About the Album “ILLVloods”
ILLVloods / Date release: 2025-10-24 / Official website / Stream link
The full-length album “ILLVloods” brings together a stellar lineup featuring BES, MEGA-G, T2K a.k.a. Mr. Tee, ZAK THE RUGER, RAW-T, SAW, RAS, and AA RASHID. Formed by ILL BLOCK CORNER MUSIC and Vloods, this hip-hop collective releases their self-titled project “ILLVloods,” a monumental work that encapsulates the spirit of underground Japanese hip-hop.
Led by Greedy’s standout track “Art Is Long,” the album includes previously released songs such as “Friday The Jaws,” “New Day,” and “Soda Pop.” It also features “Roll The Dice” — a track built on DJ MASAKAZ’s exquisite looping production with guest appearances from BES and ZAK THE RUGER — and “Grateful,” a skit that includes a shout-out from AA RASHID, known for his collaborations with Westside Gunn. Later in the album, “Encore” stands out as a hard-hitting rap banger produced by H.A.D.E.S, blending heavy basslines with AREME’s hook and Greedy’s razor-sharp verses. With a total of 13 tracks, the album has impressed even the legendary KASHI DA HANDSOME, who praised its top-tier quality. “ILLVloods” is already being hailed as a milestone in Japanese hip-hop and a strong contender for Best Rap Album of 2025.
A Special Guest from New York
AA Rashid will be flying in from New York for this special event. DJ KASHI DA HANDSOME and DJ SpiTe will be on the decks to keep the energy high all night.
