「Convict Society . . . .
Who is Shing02? Rap activist, a supporter of world peace, Born in Tokyo of 1975. been in the game since 95'
in his albums, he is known for his emotion, his gestures and what is truly inside of his heart that he compiled with the roots of Hiphop to truly create masterpieces that not only impacted my life, but others.
he is known for his Japanese music,no I do not know Japanese,and not looking to learn the language for some time, he has Music that have been inside of Famous Anime, if you don't know what Anime is, it's Japanese Animation, His music arose in a popular anime called Samurai Champloo and that is what sparked some of his Popularity in the west, and around the world. He is also know for his affiliation with Nujabes, and you can see me talk about Nujabes in my Posts on the Re Plus "Everlasting Truth" Album Review.
if you wish to learn more about Shing02, please check out the Interview Below.
Now down to the point!
Shing02 - Grace
First, let's start off by saying Shing02 is Abstract, I mean VERY abstract.
He uses a photo, a scene and let's your mind tell the story, so this review may seem very Biased because I will be incorporating my thoughts on what I perceived.
First off, it starts with the Camera gazing into the Ocean, and the Grey, Gloomy sky to a Guitar Rift.
Now let's look at what we can gain from these three points.
The Ocean - Long, Unlimited, Far, Boundaries, Deep.
The Grey Sky - Sadness, Feeling Grey comparing oneself to
the sky. Questions (I.E.) "What is out there?"
Not only are we now bringing yourself into the Video we are now incorporating ourselves our thoughts, already so quickly inside the video!
It then goes off into the sky more, the Neighborhood. Also big points that should be brought up, represents where one is, where one is from, and this is VERY important to music, it is our culture it is what inspired us it is not only a symbol, but also ourselves!
And when all of this is happens our brain is Calculating so many images, so many memories so that we can create a silhouette of "What the music is trying to say".
It then goes off on Shing02 Rapping sharing his Logic, his point of view in every song and tries to inspire and get his message through quick but meaningful.
You can also see that this video has alot of different people inside of it, sharing different Point of view, different backgrounds, different tastes in music. But we also see one BIG point, and the point is that the Equilibrium that music brings us, that no matter where we from, no matter who we are, Music is what unites us, and that is truly what makes this Piece beautiful.

Kenichiro Nishihara "Humming Jazz" Review
10/10
First, let me start off saying. . . .
this album has to be one of the greatest albums from Kenichiro himself, this album is not only emotionally impacting, but also physically every time I pop this album in, I'll show you where to buy it after, I honestly get shivers the vibes are strong, clean, and vibrant. it may seem like it's unfair to say to those fans out there, but I have to say that this is just one of those albums where you are feeling down, I mean when you feel spiritually and mentally down, this albums means a lot to me it has a significant amount of sentimental value, it's so nostalgic the perfect sequence of the instruments just remind me of so many things, the good and the bad. and it may seem biased, and if you don't believe me check it out yourself.
To buy this Album, and support this wonderful Artist, click down.
If you wish to hear samples of this album please, I recommend YouTube but please I really wish for you to support this artist it would mean a lot to support artists that aren't so 'well known' and when I say that, I mean you won't hear him on your local radio.

ㅇ ㅇ REPLUS Album "Everlasting Truth" Review
「Convict Society . . . .
what is REPLUS?
replus is a group which incorporates Breakbeats, House, Hip Hop, Jazz, Ambient, Acoustic, Electro, including the influence from a wide variety genre, which can sound alot like the Artist DJ Okawari and if you don't know who DJ Okawari is you can find him on the link supplied on his name, he has a much similar sound but he isn't as big as a artist name "Nujabes" He has passed away, but his music still lives on and is still considered "Underground" even if his music has a million views, odd. You can find his music below.
ㅠ_ㅠ Nujabes, Rest In Peace - 2010 'til inifinity ㅇ
Nujabes, he has passed away and yes it is a shame so please leave a comment about him on the official Nujabes Memorial Page.
「Everlasting Truth
This album incorporates everything you would expect from a REPLUS album, it varies in-between Rhythm and Emotion it uses Jazz for a smooth serene sound but also uses Hip-hop for a much stronger vibe.
「Sounds Like they sound alot like DAISHI DANCE,sugiurumn,Jazzinpark,DJ 4th,RAMRIDER.
「Where to buy? Amazon "Ever Lasting Truth"
