Jumadiba Iegumo Mixtape Release Party at Spotify O-East

If you're trying to get into Japanese rap, Jumadiba is one of the best places to start. His sound pulls from UK grime, drill, and Afro influences, but feels grounded in Tokyo – carrying the kind of energy you’d find at a traditional Bon Odori festival: communal, rhythmic, and hypnotic. Layered with football chants, warped samples, and a flow that comes off nonchalant but will stick in your head.

The Iegumo mixtape, released earlier this summer, has been the core of his latest tour across Japan. This solo show at Spotify O-East is the final stop and the only Tokyo date tied to the release.
