Hip-Hop veteran DJ HAZIME returns with a new track that delves into the very essence of rap. A legendary figure who has produced numerous Japanese hip-hop classics, DJ HAZIME released “I’m A Rapper” on October 22, 2025, featuring rappers 018 and Leon Fanourakis. The song tackles a fundamental yet straightforward theme in hip-hop: “What does it mean to be a rapper?” DJ HAZIME and his guests offer their own bold and clear vision of this timeless question. The track stands out thanks to DJ HAZIME’s signature scratching, incorporating samples from his past productions. This technique creates a dialogue between his works and serves as a reflection of his journey through Japanese hip-hop.
