Description:
MiLESBROS, a HipHop unit from Kobe that shatters and lyrically reconstructs everyday scenes, releases its latest long-awaited double A-side album. With a total of 23 tracks, everything that enters your eyes becomes art from the moment you finish listening to it. MiLESBROS is a twin HipHop unit consisting of MC cleafrookie and DJ 3422. They have been active as SMLE BLOSSOM for a long time, and this album "aio / Home" is their first album in 12 years since their last album "BLUE TRAIN" and their first album since changing their group name. Of course, during that time, the group has continued to be active with vinyl releases such as "Yureta" and "Life is Beautifull," guest appearances, and numerous live performances. Side "aio" of the current album, "aio / Home," was actually almost ready at an early stage, but for various reasons, it could not be released. In addition, it was inevitably affected by the Corona disaster. During this period, the concept of "aio" was further condensed to create "Home," and at the same time, "aio" was updated by re-recording all the raps, The two-disc set was released in order to present to the world what has accumulated over the past few years. Side "aio" is a collaboration with Alter-Ego, who has been with us since the SMLE BLOSSOM days, Side "Home" entrusted the sound to Shin-Ski, who is also from Hyogo Prefecture and is well known worldwide, Both of these songs are a perfect match with cleafrookie's rap lyrically expressing the everyday life that is right in front of us. The high "HipHop intensity" without a trace of so-called "street" elements is also unmissable. This is an album that I recommend HipHop fans, young and old, male and female, parents and children, harcos and nerds alike, to listen to in all directions. Side "aio". Beginning with "Destruction Jazz," which is a statement of determination as MiLESBROS, bidding farewell to the former group name SMLE BLOSSOM, The first half of the album features "Yellow B-Boy," which tells the story of a chic exchange with a clerk at his favorite CD store, and "You know my steez? which describes their obsession with fashion, and "You know my steez? What's good feat. Nemui, Wozmy, FULTRASTER, FUJII FLUSH," featuring the late FUJII FLUSH, offers a fun mic relay. The side, which expresses their tastes, upbringing, friends, and other important things around them by changing sorrow into love through their own eyes, reaches its climax with the beauty of the title track "aio," the twelfth song, which purifies the heart. Everyone should feel a warm feeling in their hearts when they finish listening to the 13th track, "Good vibes". The solid track, created by longtime ally Alter-Ego, is also brilliantly directed by DJ 3422, adding color to the certainty of their perspective. Side "Home". This side was created based on the concept of "love" for something even closer to home than "aio," filtered through the period of the Corona Disaster stay home, or "home. The sound for this side of the album was created by Shin-Ski, a world-renowned track maker. The warmth of his human skin and the warmth of cleafrookie's rap are a perfect match. The story continues with the title track "Home," which begins with "Hello, sakura," a sad contrast between the scenery of a town where the hustle and bustle has disappeared and the cherry blossoms that are still blooming beautifully. The song's gentle and calm tone of voice lists the things that are within reach of the viewer's eyes, and the song positively transforms the unwanted stay home into a good memory someday. Opening an album and thinking of his late mother, or listening to a demo tape he used to make.... The accumulated frustrations of not being able to go outside and not seeing their friends were turned into "I feel" and "Blue" as they imagined the time when they were released from those frustrations, The song sublimates into beautiful lyrical rhymes until the last song "Let's get it on". Text by KN-SUN from Improve [Profile] Twin brothers from Kobe, Japan, cleafrookie (MC) and 3422 (DJ). After forming in 2003, they have released two albums "Art of Smile" (2009) and "BLUE TRAIN" (2009), They released "BLUE TRAIN" (2012) and a 12" record "BROTHER SOURCE" (2015). In 2016, they changed their name from SMILE BLOSSOM. On January 17, 2017, he released a 7" record "YURATE", his first work after the name change. On April 5 of the same year, he released a 12" record, "Life is Beautiful". And in 2024, the first New Album under the name MiLESBROS was completed. (From the manufacturer's information)
