ネットに上げた楽曲がKREVAの目に留まり、彼の楽曲や主催フェスに抜擢された青森のラッパーのファースト・アルバム。言葉の良く届くハキハキとしたラップと高めの声質、虚勢を張らぬ眼差しはアルバムを通じて親しみやすく、好感が持てる。裏表の感情を覗かせながらすべてをプラスに歩み出さんとする“アカルイミライ”や、単語の数珠繋ぎでライミングしていくタイトル曲にもその明快なキャラの魅力が表れている。

 

[English Translation]
HI-SO  "Rhyme of Life"

The first album from HI-SO, a Japanese rapper from Aomori whose songs he posted online caught the attention of KREVA (Japanese rapper and record producer), leading him to be involved in some of KREVA's songs and music festivals. His brisk rhyming carrying his words far, relatively high-pitched voice, and eyes without any bravado give a friendly, favorable impression throughout the album. His attractive, clear-cut personality is reflected in "Akarui Mirai (meaning Bright Future)" that expresses the bearing of one with mixed feelings, trying to see only the good side of things to move forward, as well as in the title track where he goes rhyming strings of words back-to-back.
