Yoshi Ikuzo - Precursor to Japanese Hip-hop (yo yo)

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

He's kind of the Grandmaster Flash of Japan, except he didn't contribute anything to turntablism and he raps in the Tohoku (instead of Bronx) vernacular. Also, he includes kamishibai (link) in his lyrics, which I'm pretty sure Grandmaster Flash did not. He sure does have a Furious Five, though. Or maybe Fifteen..
