Torrent description

Hip Hop is global.
Evidence of this phenomenon is Japan\'s full embrace of hip hop\'s every facet: breakdancing, graffiti, DJing, and even rhyming. It was only a matter of time before the Japanese hip hop scene produced an artist keen enough in understanding the culture to achieve similar international appeal: dj honda. dj honda was born in Hokkaido, Japan and moved to Tokyo at age 17 to pursue his dream of playing in an American influenced rock band. He started a band called, \"Clique\" as the vocalist & guitarist. However, the band struggled and honda was forced to seek additional employment. He began DJing in a small nearby city, Shizuoka where he was first introduced to hip hop music and various turntable techniques, including scratching. For honda, the turntables offered a new creative outlet. While toiling at perfecting his scratching technique, he created a popular name for himself as a DJ, leading to premiere gigs in Tokyo\'s largest clubs. He also appeared on Tokyo radio stations and remixed popular tracks for local record companies. Tokyo was also important because it was the place where dj honda would cultivate many valuable relationships with people like Afrika Bambaata and the Universal Zulu Nation, as well as some of the emcees who would later appear on his self-titled debut LP.



dj honda\'s first album self-titled, \" h, dj honda \" successfully communicated fluid cohesion between the producer and the artist and was released in Japanese version (1995) & U.S. Version (1996). Guru brought his freestyling ability to the forefront on the jazzy keyboards of \"What You Expected\" as DJ Premier added some of his own flavor on the 1 & 2\'s. Newcomer, Problemz delivered his entrancing lyrical ability to the Milt Jackson groove sampled on \"Kill The Noize\", while Redman showed off his bravado on the abstract sound of \"Dat\'s My Word\". Sadat X and Grand Puba of Brand Nubian combined with Wakeem over the buttery R&B-ish \"Straight Talk From NY\", and additional greats, The Beatnuts, Fat Joe, Al\' Tariq and Problemz flexed their skills on the anthem \"Out For The Cash\". As expected, Common entertained with an interlude of rhymes, and Biz Markie brought us back to the LQ days in \"Biz Freestyle\". To further complement the album, Black Attack got gritty and grimy on \"Fuk Dat\", Tha Alkaholiks brought us some Westside flavor on \"International Anthem\" and Al\' Tariq appeared again, dropping apocalyptic knowledge on a cut fittingly titled \"The End\".
