Kohei Japan - 'Family' (JPN)
Not really feeling the chorus one this one but the beat is nice and the tune has a positive message. Kohei Japan is famed for using Hip Hop to explore what it is to be Japanese. He emerged at a time when many of his counterparts were trying to imitate the style of Rap coming out of America. He is important in this sense as worldwide there is stacks of shit Hip Hop where people try and force an american accent and make songs about american subjects that dont neccesarily apply to the life they live.
