It has been announced that Awich will release his new single, “Wax On Wax Off feat. FERG & Lupe Fiasco (Prod. RZA)” on Wednesday, July 16th.
This song is the second leading single from the album, produced entirely by Wu-Tang Clan’s leader RZA. In addition to FERG, who teamed up on their previous work, “Butcher Shop,” new members include Grammy Award-winning Chicago intellectual rapper Lupe Fiasco. The beat is officially sampled Kaji Meiko’s “Jeans Buruusu”, the theme song for the Toei film “The Muyoi Hai.” It is said to be a song that combines Eastern aesthetics with New York hip-hop’s DNA.
The title “Wax On Wax Off” is a famous line from the movie “KARATE KID.” Awich, who was heavily influenced by the film since childhood, said he created this film by overlapping the themes of “oriental spirituality” and “self-training through master-disciple relationships” with his own career. For Awich, whose roots are Okinawa and attracting attention as an entity that connects Asia and the world, “Wax On Wax Off” is likely to be a song that symbolizes her life and beliefs, as she continues to hone herself.
The music video will be released at its premiere on the day of release from 8:00 pm on Wednesday, July 16th. The director will be Hotta Hidehito, who has worked on many Awich films.
Another recent video of the performance of this song was released on the popular US podcast program “Club Shay Shay,” which has caused a huge stir. Check this as well.
