Tokyo Mega Late Show

Episode 9-9 for the 2-0-1-9!

Yooo today... we've got one of the most talented, well-known and successful emcees in Japan! The legendary, Kojoe!

Kojoe grew up in Niigata, Japan. As a youth, he was a highly accomplished winter sports athlete that was likely on his way to the Olympics. That talent took him to the US for training. But when he got there, he eventually found himself in Hollis, Queens. Where he would spend the better part of two decades refining his art along side some of the most notable hip-hop artists ever.

We talk to him about all that plus take a deep dive into his thoughts on hip-hop culture in japan, the differences between new york hiphop and tokyos, the importance of japanese fans/artists educating themselves about black culture, being the only japanese person in his social circle in New York, authentic tough guys in japan, and a gang of other topics. All that and we still get into his incredible amount of music released over the last 20 years. From his Rawkus Records release to his two newest projects, JOES CHICKEN N WAFFLES and KOJOES HOUSING PROJECT, and upcoming projects.

Of course we get more into his music in the second half of the episode which drops next Tuesday.

Kojoes experience in hiphop is wholly unique and his insight into japans hiphop scene is tremendously interesting.

Also shout out to Shad AD for holding down the 3rd mic.

Thanks to all of our listeners. please like, subscribe, share and contact us.

Check out Kojoes music on Spotify, Youtube, and all the other places.

He's a member of the LA-based artistic powerhouse, Condina Records collective.

We first met Flat Stanley last year during one of his numerous trips to Tokyo. Later we would see him featured on Bandcamps "best beat music" list and collaborating with a gang of dope artists.

He joined us with Just Yuka to talk about his beginnings in beat production. How he slowly became known throughout the Los Angeles beat scene as repairman for broken samplers. His thoughts on the Tokyo beat scene as compared to Los Angeles. Several of his favorite new artists. And he even shared some unmixed/unreleased collaborations with Sadhu Gold and Al Divino. Exclusiveish.

Part two drops tuesday is gonna have hella musical shares and more hiphop, tokyo and dope culture convo.

Thanks Flat Stanley! Thanks Just Yuka!
