Sunday night at Shibuya’s HARLEM and members of The Cohort crew lead by Okasian who was joined onstage by Loota with a lineup that included Kiano Jones and YENTOWN’s Petz, Monyhorse and Jnkmn with Killa Crew. The night brought together names from the burgeoning Korean and Japanese rap scenes, the sound and style that is now at the forefront of Shibuya’s street culture. It may be a small movement domestically, but through social media it is part of increasingly global youth movement. For tracks to accompany the images click to check out Kiano Jones ‘Unknown Future’, ‘SHADDAN’ by MonyHorse, PETZ, JNKMN, KZM & Kepha’s ‘POSER’ and Okasian’s recently released MV with Bryan Chase ‘Walkin’.
