RHYME SO, Shinichi Osawa’s dance music duo, release debut album ‘IAFB’

Dance music duo RHYME SO, featuring DJ and producer Shinichi Osawa (MONDO GROSSO) alongside music partner RHYME, have released their debut album, ‘IAFB’ (I AM FUCKIN’ BRILLIANT).

Debuting with US-based music company 88rising, the duo explores the intricacies of modern creative work, delving into the psychology and conflicts of music-making. Their electro sound fuses acid house-style modulation, deep bass, industrial hip-hop, modern trap, tech house vibes, and elements of Eurobeat, showcasing Osawa’s versatile musicality.

IAFB’s euphoric electro tracks provide a backdrop for RHYME’s lyrics, depicting challenges artists face today – from consumerism to influencers, self-esteem struggles, despair, and an unquenchable thirst for recognition. Themes intertwine with reinterpreted Japanese poetic forms like haiku and tanka, creating a unique album.

RHYME SO, in constant search of the next wave of Japanese sound, invite listeners to witness the global evolution of J-pop and dance music.
