Tokyo Mega Late Show

Before this recording if you asked me who was Mevina, id tell you he was the homie. A cool as hell, big Samoan guy that runs a few Polynesian dance school or classes. And i think owns a few restaurants back in the states.

Turns out that's only partially right. Mevina comes from a long line of super influential members of the Polynesian dance and music community. If youve ever seen Polynesian dance on tv or at Disneyland youre seeing some part of his families influence. He himself also being tremendously influential in dance and music. Hes changed the industry, style and inspired thousands. Its wild.

Today we learn just a bit about who is Mevina and the lineage of greatness from which he comes. It was kind of mind blowing. Tune in.

Plus he reppin that West Coast.

Joining me is the homie and former guest of the show DJ Tagg !

Hello,

Today we have the Legend, the Man, the Ninja himself, Scott Popular. Scott has been able to take advantage of the panerabread to focus on one of his main projects, NinjaMan. Although of course there have been pitfalls the past year, he was able to find opportunity amongst the adversity.

We also get into a lot of Atlanta talk. As one of the main ambassadors between Tokyo and Atlanta, Scott is particularly ready to hit the skies again and get his annual routines, like Final Round fighting video game tournament, back into swing. Be sure to be on the lookout for any updates on when his events will be back functioning in a regular capacity.

And I hope you guys caught the jewels about the baths with the dirty bubbles~~**、

Hello,

The return of the 200 IQ!!

Go Yama makes a blessed appearance on this TempCheck! It has been awhile since we chopped it up so we spend a bit of time catching up and seeing where each other are at. @goyamamusic has been in Cali and recently relocated to L.A. He's been busy during These Times not only with his music, but also with his new non-profit, which focuses on the non-entertainment and rehabilitative properties of music. Also there's tons of just random talk including too much info about Late and a tragic story about Go Yama and the sale of a rare ass Pokemon card.

Shout-out to the OG of the 200 IQ, Go Yama, who is a man with many plans and high-level ideas.

Holler at him on Clubhouse!

Tanaka's, keep that content inflow in your earholes!

Maurice Shelton is a semi-retired professional Mixed Martial Artist and trainer at a Tokyo UFC gym. Amongst other things, he is also a friend, co-host of the This Is Not Information podcast, historian, and actor.

Regular ol renaissance man.

I caught up with him last Friday to discuss his experiences training, fighting and teaching MMA in Japan. We discuss being Black in the largely non-Black online MMA community of the aughts as well as fighter unionization. Also some leftist politics.

We were talking so long that we almost missed the opportunity to discuss an upcoming short film that Maurice stars as the main protagonist.

Check this one out for the details on his fairly unique experience as a Black man within the MMA community in Japan.

Also live reaction to the passing of the legendary Shock G.

Hello,

It's mostly comics, tho. Welcome back, true believers!! For this Check, got the homey Submerse on the call. @submerse, like many, has been keeping busy while things are quiet in these times. Gigging when he can, he was able to release a jungle album and has some other joints prepping in the chamber. We talk all about his music and what's going on / what he think will happen in Japan in the future.

But, most importantly (and most of the episode, lol) we get into some heavy, HEAVY comic talk. We had only lightly discussed comic books before after discovering our mutual interest, but we really get into it during this convo. It's a little disgusting. If you don't understand what we are talking about, hope ya'll pick up some gems, then hopefully eventually end up picking up a couple issues. Some really good nerd shit this ep. COMICS. GAMES. HIP-HOP. TOKYO. CORONAVIRUS. CONTENT,

Enjoy, ok?

NO SENPAI

NO KOHAI'S!

Caught up with the good homies A Valley, Mc Boodah, and Mj the Sensei to talk about their new upcoming collaborations together.

We took some time to give Boodah some flowers and talk about Tokyos hip-hop community since he's moving to Okinawa sometime soon.

Mj and A Valley have new collaborative projects coming out with Boodahs production.

Broken Elevators from and Fuji Sets from Mj are going to be a split EP produced by Boodah under his G-Rillah Climax production moniker.

We played some of their unreleased music from both projects!

Also played some new unreleased Curbside Jones!!!

All beats and musical bed by Soul.Dope.95!

I've got a bit of a format change so there will no part two of this podcast. Check out the full video of the recording on Youtube @ Tokyo Secret House Against the World

Hello,

After a lil technical difficulty caused delay, another one.

This convo is with the god Omen44. @thepluginternational has had a busy year despite the ongoing pandemic situation. He released multiple albums last year, and was even able to finish two tours before the whole world went to hell. He talks about hearing murmurings about the upcoming threat while still in Japan then experiencing it full-force when he arrived in NY. Even through all this he is taking the time to work on his craft and build, even outside of his art.

There is a lot of music talk with special focus on his latest two albums, 7 and Hentai. Make sure to check those out especially the tracks "Eclipse"; "Dum-dum"; and "i can see the sun" off of Hentai, which feature Planet Asia; Fizzi Pizzi; and Skyzoo; respectively, and the latter of which Omen gratuitously allowed to be included at the end of this episode. Also make sure to go check out the project he released with two other Japanese rappers, Nipps and Vikn, 25:17.

His latest single, HATE, was just released recently and features Chelsea Reject. The track was made in response to the recent spate of anti-Asian violence that has been happening, and we also get into that topic during the course of our convo.

Sorry for the delay, here's some content
