L-VOKAL and SEEDA have been active in the Japanese HIPHOP scene from the 1990s to the 2000s.
They are allies who have both been rooted in the streets, continuously defining new forms of HIPHOP.
SEEDA is known for packaging the movements of young rappers and the streets of that era through his mix CD series "CONCRETE GREEN" with DJ ISSO. Meanwhile, L-VOKAL's mix CD series "Matenrou" with DOC-DEE was as popular as CONCRETE GREEN on the streets at the time, and is still a legendary series among heads. In addition, he has left his mark on the scene through numerous live performances and self-produced works, with cynical and humorous lyrics and a unique flow.
This work by the two artists is a song that expresses the negative mindset drifting through current society and life with straightforward words and a relaxed flow, blowing it away.
While centered on straightforward phrases like "The country is messed up," "Taxes are messed up," "Salaries are messed up," and "Life is messed up," the song as a whole does not lean excessively towards seriousness, but rather expresses earning money, working, and surviving in the city with rough humor and a light groove.
This work was comprehensively produced from music to artwork by C.H.E.T., a creative unit that fuses animation art, ART, and music. YK, the frontman, was in charge of music production and ART direction, and Setsuda Sun, a C.H.E.T. member who also handled the artwork for "Kinmokusei / Kujira feat. Ado," created new ART for L-VOKAL and SEEDA.
"Ya Boy!!" is an incredibly straightforward hip-hop tune that blows away the modern sense of life and anxiety. It's a song that moves forward, navigating the "everything is messed up" daily life with a unique style.
"The country is messed up, taxes are messed up
Salaries are messed up, life is messed up
Stocks are messed up, jewelry is messed up
Everything is messed up, living it up YA BOY!!
Cars are messed up, bikes are messed up
Earning money YA BOY!! Surviving this city
Got no choice, life is short
I Try Coz I Know Possibilities are Sky"
- From "Ya Boy!!" lyrics
L-VOKAL Profile
Born in 1979, in the same hospital as Prince Hisahito. Although not particularly a B-boy during his student days, he organized club events around Roppongi and Nishi-Azabu as an organizer and immersed himself in freestyle with fellow rappers.
In the summer of '96, he became hooked on "Ningen Hatsudensho" and, after graduating high school, studied abroad in the US, where he was blown away by the authentic HIPHOP culture. After returning to Japan, he decided to become a rapper after participating in DJ Tonk's album "Aquarian Soul," who was a friend.
He released three indie albums, "Laughin’, Lovin’, Livin’," and one major album, "FREE," under Universal Music. His mixtape series "Matenrou" boasted unprecedented sales on the streets at the time.
Later, he released the album "Betusjin L-VOKAL," fully produced by KREVA, and his single "YO! YOU!" reached No. 1 on the iTunes Hip-Hop chart.
He also pioneered inviting comedians to his songs, releasing the Keperagi series featuring Razor Ramon RG and Toru Salmon Kubota as guest artists.
