Following his research trip and return from incarceration, fans have been eagerly anticipating NORIKIYO’s next moves. Today, the veteran rapper has delivered on multiple fronts with new releases that showcase his continued creative output. NORIKIYO has released a 7-inch record of the popular track “Machiawase (Meeting Point)” featuring Shuto through 9Sari Group. This song was notably created during NORIKIYO’s imprisonment, with Shuto serving as the featured artist. The collaboration represents a significant moment in NORIKIYO’s catalog, bridging his experiences during incarceration with his artistic expression.
The limited 7-inch vinyl is available exclusively through three outlets: 9Sari Group’s official website, NEWFUNK STORE in Okinawa, ZAKAI.JP, which serves as NORIKIYO’s official web shop. Coinciding with the vinyl release, NORIKIYO has also unveiled the music video for “Assou“, a track from his 11th album “Cookin’ Selfish”, which was released last month. The video was directed by Agro Creative, a frequent collaborator on NORIKIYO’s visual projects, ensuring consistency in the artistic vision.
