4some Vol.12

If you’re looking to get your start into Japan’s underground rap and hip-hop scene, 4Some at Circus Tokyo will be the place to go this weekend. The night centeres on Adachi trap, with headliners Nyture and Spiderweb crew’s Ivy carrying the sound out of their hometown and into the city.

Nyture cuts sharp lyrics with the grit of Adachi life over beats that nod as much to the street as to the club, while Ivy gives things an experimental edge through self- produced tracks layered in synths.

The line-up is packed with other heavy hitters across the scene, among them Cyber Rui, a female rapper turning out dance-inducing tunes laced with electronic edge and a swag reminiscent of leading contemporaries globally.
