Posted on


Rapper Charlu has been making waves in the hip-hop scene with her appearance on AbemaTV’s “Rap Star 2024,” her collaborations with Novel Core and DABO on “SKILL TEST,” and “Team Friends – GALS Remix☆.” She has collaborated with Matt Cab, a buzz-maker music producer who has racked up billions of views with “Famima Rap” and “Kara no Kokoro Remix,” and Zen Masuta, a producer who has also worked on songs by ¥ellow Bucks and SHO, to produce a new song called “FIT CHECK,” which will be released on September 19th.

The song features Charlu and Zen Masuta rapping with a variety of approaches over Matt Cab’s up-tempo, yet solid, tight beat. The song is based on everyday fashion coordination (called Outfit Check in English, or FIT CHECK), making it a must-listen for anyone who loves fashion and music.

In addition, this song is a collaboration with Dyson’s new headphones, “Dyson OnTrac™ Headphones,” which will be announced on the same day, so be sure to check out the “music x fashion” movement that will be created by combining this song with the fashion-conscious “Dyson OnTrac™ Headphones.”

・Charlu’s comment
I was invited by Matt Cab to create this song, and it was a lot of fun working with Zen, who always produces my songs!

I was very happy to be able to rap with Zen on Matt Cab’s awesome beat!

It’s a great song, so be sure to listen to it!

・Comment from Matt Cab

This song was born naturally when Charlu, Zen Masuta and I were having a session in the studio. I think the best music is born when everyone is having the most fun making it.

“FIT CHECK” is exactly that kind of song, and the unique yet somehow nostalgic sound of this song will feel fresh to listeners. Be sure to give it a listen!

・Comment from Zen Masuta

It was so much fun making this song. Charlu and Matt Cab are both incredibly talented and so fun to work with, the session atmosphere was so natural and smooth.

I find this song to be a great way to get motivated to start the day.

It’s a song that will make you wake up in the morning, check your outfit before going to the gym, work, or meeting friends, and feel confident, thinking “I look cool today!”

I hope everyone enjoys this song and that it motivates them to start their day with their Dyson OnTrac™ headphones!
