The latest episode of Red Bull’s popular cypher project, “Red Bull RASEN,” has been released.

“RASEN” has selected rappers and beatmakers with different concepts each time, and has taken one-off cyphers. This episode is #30, and DJ RYOW’s appeal brings together a wide range of people, from artists with close ties to young people who will be taking on the role of a new era.

Participants this time include “E”qual, a member of the 3MC group MOSAD, AI, a key player in the Japanese R&B scene, Hannya, an essential part of the Japanese rap scene, and SOCKS, which have roots in the Chita Peninsula.

Next-generation street icons include ¥ellow Bucks, who will take on the name of the new “Tokai Teio” in the Tokai area, eyden, Chiba’s young gun who has risen to stardom and has been making a smash hit with the victory of ABEMA’s “Rap Starr” in 2021, and Carz, who has gained a lot of attention in 2024 with his similar “Rap Starr” in 2024, and are looking to represent Yokohama again.

The beat, which supports the above seven sessions, will be handled by Nagoya DJ/producer DJ RYOW. This beat is sampled from DOI feat. TOKONA-X “EQUIS, EX, X” released in 2002, and seven people from across the country and generation will gather together to perform on the masterpieces that have been remade after more than 20 years.

It is said that this Cypher will also be distributed on various platforms at a later date.

This beat is a sample of DOI feat. TOKONA-X “EQUIS, EX, X” released in 2002, and is a beat I’ve always wanted to make. The filming was a total of seven people, and if I made a mistake somewhere, it was quite tense, and it was a great inspiration for me, as I could. A documentary footage filled with the charm of a rapper called TOKONA-X will soon be completed, so I hope you will definitely watch it.
