Product Description
A 2020s hip-hop anthem from Shing02, familiar from his collaboration with Nujabes in the "Luv (sic)" series, and Marcus D, the inheritor of jazzy and lo-fi hip-hop! This latest work from Marcus D, a rare beatmaker who bridges the gap between jazzy hip-hop and lo-fi hip-hop, and Shing02, an MC who expresses a unique worldview with his original lyrics and flow! The title track "Copycats" intertwines jazzy and mellow melodies with laid-back lo-fi beats, creating a sound style that symbolizes the 2020s scene! Shing02's lyrics, which cut through fakes as the title suggests, are a must-listen! This collaboration between Marcus D and Shing02 is still fresh in our memories, as they previously collaborated on "One People" from "Melancholy Hopeful," released in 2012 from "tribe," the official shop of the late Nujabes' "hydeout productions." This latest collaboration between the two artists is a best-of collection tracing their career, featuring the new song "Copycats," as well as the jazzy hip-hop anthem "Parallel Universe" (2010), the aforementioned "One People" (2012), the digitally-only single "Exxon Mobil" (2016), and a new version of "Airporter" from the instrumental album "Ryujin no Yume" (2018) with new lyrics by Shing02. The new song "Copycats" is also included in three additional versions: instrumental, a cappella, and a remix (Jack The Rip Remix)!
