Demon Slayer Rap | Yoriichi "In My Blood"

So this will be the last Demon Slayer rap for a while. Tyler and I are cookin up some other ones for JoJo, maybe Jujutsu Kaisen. Tyler wants to do more One Piece, so I plan on finally finishing watching.

Tomorrow, I'll be playing a huge show in Ft. Lauderdale for Yokainite. Haven't played a 21+ show in a looooooong time, so I'm hoping they don't think my music is weird but we'll see.

New baby is growing well too! Still working on her sleep plan, but she's already gained 1 pound ev...

THE UPPER MOONS CYPHER FOR DEMON SLAYER

Man, let me tell you, this one was still a little difficult to put together, but I had gotten requests for this one since Demon Slayer CAME OUT, and I started rappin about it. I think shortly after the Akaza rap too. I even had two rappers drop out at the last minute, but Jacob and Mac came in with the clutch. 

Given how the Kokushibo rap was poppin off, I knew I had to take Kokushibo. Right off the bat, I knew I wanted FreeSoul for Akaza cause he just kills it with that aggression...

Demon Slayer Rap | Second Upper Moon Doma "He Ate"

So Tyler had created this beat for Doma many many months ago. But again, I had to wait till the new season dropped to get the hype with the rap for Doma. I really enjoyed how melodic it was and how it flipped from being dark to a very playful kind of sound. It almost gave off like an Asian Joker vibe, perfect for Doma. 

I wanted to also go for a melodic vibe, something dark but catchy, something with a little rock feel to it as well, so I wrote everything based off Doma's personali...

THE KOKUSHIBO RAP REANIMATED (Phonk Remix)

So Tyler had been saying for a while he wants to make more phonk beats, especially with the reception of Falling For You, so he and I started pitching ideas back and forth for a phonk remix of the Kokushibo rap and finally came to this.

I decided to rewrite and re-record the first verse, and then use the second verse as the build and re-record that. We kept the chorus and just slowed it down. I added some new adlibs though. 

I knew that if we were going to renimate this, we h...

The Kokushibo (First Upper Moon) Rap from Demon Slayer

So Tyler had made this beat a while ago, but I was saving it for when the new Demon Slayer season was out. This was a difficult one to write about without spoiling but I tried to do my best.

Also decided to experiment more in the screaming and go more metal with it. Also tore my vocal cords doing it, so I definitely need to practice. 

Tyler also made a phonk remix of this beat, and we're going to put it out next Saturday. Should be sick! I'll post a preview of it asap too. Fr...

Demon Slayer Rap | Mist Hashira with Tyler Clark

Apologies for the late arrival! I woke up with a fever this morning. Don't know why, so I must've caught a little infection but I'm battling this headache while typing this.

Here is the Muichiro rap for Demon Slayer! Tyler had this idea of making an instrumental beat for the Mist Hashira months ago, but I didn't want to make a rap until the new season actually dropped, so this has been sitting on the burner for a while. 

I almost burned out my vocal cords doing this one too. ...

BERSERK RAP METAL - NLJ & Sam Sky

So clearly Sam and I are greatly inspired by Linkin Park, but we wanted to go even harder with it for this Berserk rap since it's both of our favorite manga of all time. 

Sam had this track produced for him, and he had already recorded all of his vocals, so he asked me to add the rap verses and anything else I wanted. I decided to add the low growls you hear at times :) since that's about the best I can do in terms of metal. I had to get dartraven for the video edit too since his f...

The Final Eren Yeagar Rap (with Sam Sky & Tyler Clark)

Apolgies for the lateness. Video got delayed last night and we had to make a bunch of changes but here it is! 

The final Eren Yeagar rap for the final part of the final season of Attack on Titan.

I guess this song could be for anyone who felt like they had to walk a lonely path to meet their goal and sacrifice everything. I drafted the chorus first and sent it to Sam and at first it was just a basic melody, but he added so much more to it with the extra harmonies and adlibs t...

Falling For You

Tyler had told me he was experimenting with some phonk beats, and I was thoroughly impressed when I heard this. When he published the beat, even other rappers wanted to jump on it but Tyler saved it for me. What a king.

I wasn't even sure what to write about at first, but I wanted to try writing something more original just to see how it goes. The "falling for you" vocal sample let me know it needed to be about love. All I could think about was guys like Denji, Issei, Sanji, all those g...

We brought the fire for this Dabi Rap!

Okay so I got a lot of comments about the Shigaraki rap and how metal it was, and a lot of people requested the Dabi rap too so Tyler and I decided this would be the track to really get it going.

Fun fact, I had to record this while I was still suffering from bronchitis and coughing after every single I recorded. It was tough, but I pulled through.

Also I'll be answering any questions about the track on the patreon channel in the discord so hit me up there, let me know what you th...

The Shigaraki & Gigantomachia Rap!

Tyler had sent me this beat and I actually had no idea what to do with it at first. It was just so metal, and I couldn't think of any characters  It was only until I watched the new My Hero Academia season that I saw Shigraki's final form and thought, "Yes...that's the one." That whole fight was just so metal. I knew I wanted to get Tre on it as well since he can take metal to a whole new level. I drafted the chorus for him and he just absolutely killed it. 

Sorry it's taken m...

THE JOBROS RAP! With a lot of rappers and Tyler

WOW WE DID IT! We finished this JoJo cypher before the end of the year! The highly requested JoBros. I don't know how Tyler did it, but I told him, we got to go multi-genre on this one. Rap, Orchestral, Drill, Trap, Rock, Pop Punk. All of it to embody the essence of all the JoJos over the years. Man he killed it!

The next challenge was finding the rappers but it was easy to find those who wanted to work with me on this epic endeavor. I even got to record Zerk and Mike right in my home s...

THE MOB PSYCHO 100 RAP "My Ghost"

So this track is going to be a little different than what I normally do, but it felt right. I heard the beat and said "Wow this is dope" and how it transitions from trap to drill. I contacted the producer and it turns out he was a fan of my work, so he sent over the beat and I knew I had to really capture that 0 to 100 emotional roller coaster ride somehow. It took me days to finish the lyrics and tons of rewriting but I finally got it where I wanted. 

Tyler mixed and mastered it a...

MORE RAPS INCOMING!

So I'm finally getting over this one-day flu that I had, and I'm going to try to get these next raps done this week.

This Saturday will be a sponsored rap coming out for a game called Project Neural Cloud. It's not bad. It's like a mobile auto shooter game where you have these anime girls fight for you and upgrade them and stuff. Reminds me of Balloon Wars. It was a little stressful writing for this one cause it's a Chinese company, and they're picky about every little detail. I had to ...

BLEACH RAP - Aizen, Gin, Tosen Rap

So I had been planning this rap for a VERY long time. It had been on my list for an entire year, but I had to find a new beat for it and J-Squad stepped up to the plate with one of their most amazing remixes. 

I knew I wanted Baker on it, and I wanted SWATS cause the dude could sing really well. Both pretty familiar with Bleach too. I knew right away this track was going to be epic.  

I drafted a basic melody for the chorus, but SWATS took it a step further as expected.&...

THE CHAINSAW MAN RAP - Devils

So Tyler sent me this beat and I at first had no idea what to do with it. It was chill and hype at the same time. Suddenly, it dawned on me. Chainsaw Man. I had started reading the manga and noticed the ups and downs that Denji went through in life. It emobodied his emotions perfectly.

I tried to add a more personal touch to it and kind of speak from the heart with it. The emotions were heavy with this one, but so was the anger. Dart did an amazing job with the video too. I hope you enj...

THE DEMON SLAYER GIGACHAD SONG

If you've been following me on IG, you've probably seen me get more into fitness. Randomly, Tyler had decided to start making anime themed GigaChad beats, and asked if I could find a way to incorporate rapping into them. I said, "Like rapping about fitness and not chasing women?" He said, "Yeah." I said, "...heck yeah bro."

Thus, the first anime training rap was ever created. Hope you guys enjoy it, as it will be going out on Saturday. If it does well, we've got plenty more ideas. For n...

The Gigachad Demon Slayer Rap (Preview)

You may have to turn your headphones all the way up for this since it's unmastered. 

Wanted to post this preview cause this is something real left field for me. Tyler made a track based off of Bring Me The Horizon's "Can You Feel My Heart?" which is the theme song for the Gigachad meme, but added Japanese instruments to give it a Demon Slayer feel. Tyler pitched this idea for me to rap about the Gigachad meme with Demon Slayer references. Since I've been working out, I figure I'll ...

The Muhammad Avdol Rap! (feat. NizR)

Honestly, I wasn't even planning to do this rap, but I heard this drill beat randomly and thought "Yeah...Muhammad Avdol rap." Decided to see if there were any Arabic rappers out there and found NizR on Youtube and he added that nice Egyptian spice to the track. 

This one was actually really fun to write since I got to go through almost all of the JoJo memes from Stardust Crusaders. Of course, all the fire puns too. EMM did an awesome job with the video too combining anime, manga, ...

THE GOHAN RAP with Tha J-Squad

So I first heard this beat from Remix Maniacs and thought "WOW this beat has everything I like all in one." Trap, rock, drill, cinematic orchestra. I mean, it blew me away and I knew I had to do a rap for Gohan with the new movie coming out. 

As I started brainstorming, I was really trying to draw from what I had in common with Gohan as a character. A family man. Doesn't really like fighting but knows how. Hard upbringing. Failure at some things but persistence. It just felt like I...

THE PUCCI RAP (ft. JY Shawty and Through Dreams & Distance) prod. Tyler Clark

This one is for all my JoJo fans.

Tyler sent me this beat and it was actually supposed to be a Kyakoin rap, but I said "man this beat goes way too hard and it's way too dark for Kyakoin." So after a long time of thinking on it, I knew it had to be for Pucci. I know the anime isn't done yet, but I made sure to keep most of the spoilers out, but also trying to put a lot of thought into the lyrics too. 

Of course, I had to get JY PUCCI SHAWTY on it for a feature. Only made sense...

The Itachi Rap REMASTERED

Decided to try something new, which was...old. I've had a number of requests for some of the old Naruto tracks be put on Spotify/Apple, but I just know that the old samples from the OST could get flagged big time, so NINJ3FF3C7 and I are trying something new. 

He talentedly remade the beat for the Itachi rap, and I hired a voice actor to redo Itachi's quotes. Now its all from scratch! Then Tyler mixed and mastered. 

Let me know which track we should remake next f...
