BUPPON "enDroll" CD

Buppon, a highly talented rapper who is well known for his participation in albums by tha BOSS and KOJOE, has released a new album with KOJOE as executive producer and all tracks produced by illmore!

◆ BUPPON is a high-quality rapper from Yamaguchi who has been gaining attention in the scene in recent years, not only for winning the UMB Hiroshima preliminaries and releasing an album under his own name, but also for participating in notable works such as tha BOSS (ILL-BOSSTINO)'s ``IN THE NAME OF HIPHOP,'' KOJOE's ``here,'' and illmore's ``ivy''!

◆ KOJOE, who is impressed by BUPPON's skills and sense, is the executive producer of this long-awaited new album, which is his first in about two years (this is KOJOE's first time as an executive producer), and he fully backs up the album! In addition, illmore, a beatmaker belonging to Chilly Source, who is attracting attention for the release of his first original album ``ivy,'' produced all the songs on the album! Guest appearances include KOJOE and other powerful figures from the scene, such as YUKSTA-ILL, who is based in the Tokai region, RITTO from Okinawa's Akado Crew, and NAGAN SERVER, who recently released a new album!

"This was the first time I supervised someone else's work. All the beats were made by illmore, and I directed and produced everything from the beginning, including choosing the beats and giving instructions for the beats. But of course I respected what Buppon wanted to do, his ideas and impulses, and steered the project forward.
First of all, I hate taking care of someone. So, I don't want to do it and I don't think it will work unless I have absolute respect for the artist. Of course, I have to be the one to direct and lead, and sometimes I have to reject ideas that the artist came up with with passion and conviction. I'm carrying the artist's life on my shoulders, so I can't do it half-heartedly.
With that in mind, Buppon was the perfect session partner for me, and it was a very fulfilling first production challenge. I've always been a fan of his music. And I asked Illmore to create the beats, which gave it a color and atmosphere that Buppon hasn't had before.
In any case, it's a wonderful piece, so I hope a lot of people will listen to it."
