PITGOb作品を手掛けたJASHWONを中心に、I-DeAやDJ NOBU a.k.a. BOMBRUSH!、LostFaceといったプロデューサーで形成され、昨年には映画「TOKYO TRIBE」の音楽も手掛けて話題を集めたBCDMG。その後、DJ MUNARI、DJ BEERT、Jazadocument、MONBEEら名うてのトラックメイカーたちが合流し、一大コレクティヴへと進化を遂げた彼らの現在形を伝えるのが、今回のニュー・アルバム『KING'S VIEW』だ。IOやDONY JOINTなど新加入ラッパーたちの顔見せ的な側面がありつつ、JAZEE MINORとKUTS DA COYOTEのコンビ曲、紅桜のブルージーな歌声に痺れる“Stand By Me”といった旬なゲスト・ナンバーも充実。加えてAK-69、D.O、B.D.、MIKRISら豪華な顔ぶれが並ぶ一枚だ。
で、同作でもとりわけハードなトラップ・チューン“Triple Rhyme Soul”を手掛けたのが今年加入したMoito。ILL-TEEやNiyke Rovinにもトラックを提供する注目株だが、このたびTwiGyとのタッグ作『Suck My Trap』が実現。物々しいシンセにスクリュー声が鈍く絡む、サウス直系のコテコテなサウンドは、TwiGyの気怠げに泳ぐフロウに意外なほどハマっている。DUTCH MONTANAを迎え、Moito自身がラップをかます“SAINAM”なんて曲もあり!
BCDMG - Bringing on a string of loose cannons, the king on the throne enjoys this one great game made of a collection of masterpieces laid on the chess board!

BCDMG is the hottest producers unit with Jashwon (rapper / producer) who recently acted as producer for the latest work of PITGOb (rapper/MC) taking the lead, joined by fellow producers I-DeA (beatmaker / engineer), DJ Nobu a.k.a. Bombrush! and LostFace (beatmaker / engineer). The unit stole the scene for undertaking the works of the music for the film Tokyo Tribe in 2014. This latest album, King’s View demonstrates the present form of the group who has evolved into this great collective pack, honed by the joining of other notorious beatmakers, such as DJ Munari, DJ Beert, Jazadocument, or Monbee. The tracks enjoy the performances of rappers such as IO or Dony Joint, both new entrants to the label run by BCDMG and of which the album serves as a great opportunity for them to make a quick introduction to the listeners. Guest appearances are also solid as seen in tracks such as the collaborative tune between rappers Jazee Minor and Kuts Da Coyote or “Stand By Me”, a track in which Benizakura, the rapper from Okayama proudly exhibits his electrifyingly bluesy singing. Added to this are other gorgeous members including MCs and rappers such as AK-69, D.O, B.D. or Mikris.
The trap tune especially intense on this album is “Triple Rhyme Soul”, produced by Moito who joined just this year. Moito is an up-and-rising new talent who is known for providing tracks to Ill-Tee (rapper / singer) or Niyke Rovin (rapper), and who on this album happily formed a tag-team with the hip-hop legend TwiGy on the track “Suck My Trap”. The heavy sounds directly-descended from the South with screw voices intertwining with the high-sounding synth matches so surprisingly with the swimming-like languid flow produced by TwiGy. Tracks such as “Sainam” in which Moito himself works on the rapping, welcoming fellow rapper Dutch Montana is also worth checking!
