Firelight feat. Shuto (beat by Shiso)TORAUMA
Rapper TORAUMA, who has been active since his high school days as an internet rapper, is known for his outstanding musicality and the high regard he receives from trackmakers and DJs.
Among his many classic tracks, the love song I especially recommend is “Kagari feat.
Shuto (beat by Shiso).” He collaborates with R&B singer Shuto, and the result is a melodious love song from start to finish.
The lyrics, which feel as if they carry a sense of life’s understanding, are particularly striking—definitely give it a listen!

The rap duo chelmico, made up of Rachel and Mamiko, is known for their distinctive, free-form lyrics.
Their track “milk,” a single cut from their third album “maze” released in August 2020, is an acoustic piece with a subtly languid vibe.
Since it features only a small amount of rapping, it’s a great recommendation even for those who don’t usually listen to rap.
