Kantarou Maeshima "222" CD

The latest album from DeeJay "Kantarou Maeshima" who represents the Fussa reggae scene, the melting pot of western Tokyo where a wide variety of music crosses over! A contemporary street music that crosses over the skillful flow he has cultivated since his teens and cool beats that don't stick to reggae styles!

Reggae Deejay "Kantarou", who has been active in the club scene in Fussa, West Tokyo since he was 16, releases his first album in five years under his real name "Kantarou Maeshima"! His technical flow, honed on the streets, has become more mature after a career spanning more than 10 years, and his style, which uses real words to describe the joys and sorrows that overflow in everyday life, is a message that resonates in the heart, especially in this chaotic "now"!

The producers include the sound design team ZIPSIES, who have been supporting the Japanese hip-hop scene since the 2000s, HASE-T, who has been leading the Japanese reggae scene since the late 80s, chop the onion, who produces versatile beats through collaborations with a wide range of artists, CAMEL BEATS, who are active across borders from Okinawa, and Hanabusa ROCKS, a reggae band led by Yokohama heavyweight Mighty Robo!

Also appearing on the album are a diverse range of guests, including RYO the SKYWALKER, who continues to play at the forefront of Japanese dancehall reggae even today, ARARE, the mic-toting man who shows off his one-of-a-kind presence with his original use of language and worldview, DeeJay, who is a member of the Okinawa/Naha hip-hop crew "604" and has a reggae-hip-hop crossover style, and YAMATO HAZE. Don't miss out on this contemporary street music that transcends scenes, generations, and even the boundaries of reggae!
