On Saturday, July 1st, rapper TAKUMA THE GREAT released his latest EP, “Nan-no.Sono“. Hailing from both Taiwan and Japan, TAKUMA THE GREAT is known not only as a member of the group HOOLIGANZ alongside BAN, Manju, and TOSHIKI HAYASHI (%C) but also for his ability to blend cultural influences in his music. As the title of the EP suggests, this new creation explores the concept of “what it is” in a world where dark news dominates.

The production of the EP was entrusted to KO-ney, considered one of the best MPC players in Japan, and SR23, who supported TAKUMA THE GREAT’s debut album with his versatile musical composition skills. Additionally, the participation of Yamaguchi-based beatmaker m-al, known for his collaborative song “DEAD SERIOUS” (2020) with Philadelphia, Level.13, and TOSHIKI HAYASHI (%C) from HOOLIGANZ can be found. Together, they explore various musical approaches, ranging from orthodox Boonbap to jazzy hip-hop to G-funk.

This collaboration with local and international artists showcases TAKUMA THE GREAT’s commitment to transcending linguistic and cultural barriers and creating a unique music selection. The release of “Nan-no.Sono” has generated great excitement. This EP offers an immersive and thoughtful experience, with lyrics addressing profound subjects and captivating beats. TAKUMA’s artistic versatility and ability to blend different musical influences allow him to create original and innovative music.
