FIVE DEEZ "Koolmotor" CD
★ Bonus tracks added
★With Japanese commentary
The first and second albums of the most important unit in hip-hop in the 00s, FIVE DEEZ, are finally reissued! With a style that crosses over underground, breakbeats, Miami and electronica, they led hip-hop into a new trend, and even here in Japan they led the scene with their collaboration with Nujabes, while also having a huge influence on later jazz hip-hop and lo-fi hip-hop. A must-listen album for all HEADS!
JAZZY HIP HOP started here! The first album from Counterflow Recordings, which has been spreading dope beats from Miami to the world! A true classic, featuring many 00's HIP HOP anthems such as the representative song "Latitude" also known for the nujabes remix and "Sexual For Elizabeth" feat. Shing02! [2001 release]
The first full-length from 5 Dees, a four-piece hip-hop unit with Fat John and Pace Rock at its core. The groove of the dense beat and fat bass is layered with sampling and programming sprinkled with the essence of jazz and soul, creating a sophisticated, mellow and jazzy sound. The innovative rhymes and flow full of songfulness expanded the possibilities of hip-hop at once, making an impact on the scene at the time!
Latitude / Sexual For Elizabeth feat. Shing02 and 14 other original songs plus 2 bonus tracks!
