DS455

DS455 is a Japanese hip-hop duo composed of Kayzabro (MC) and DJ PMX. Known for their melodic and smooth flow, they have been active for over 18 years, spreading West Coast-style hip-hop from their hometown of Yokohama across Japan. The duo is also involved in various other projects, including founding the record label "BAYBLUES RECORDZ" and the music production company "HOOD SOUND Inc." with its associated label "HOOD SOUND RECORDS." They have organized numerous events, such as "DE-LUXE" and "WEST祭," which celebrate West Coast hip-hop culture. Kayzabro is also the owner of the hip-hop jewelry store "AVALANCHE" and designs for the apparel line "KRHYME DENIM." DJ PMX has worked on albums for other artists and plans to release his own solo work.

DS455's music often blends elements of West Coast hip-hop with a luxurious and sometimes ghetto sound, reflecting DJ PMX's versatile production style. Their discography includes notable releases like "Summer Sweetz," "L.I.F.E.～Livin’ In tha Far Eastside～," and "Throw Ya Handz Up." They have collaborated with other artists, such as Thelma Aoyama on the single "Summer Paradise: Risin' To Tha Sun." The duo remains influential in Japan's hip-hop scene, particularly among lowrider enthusiasts, with whom they share a strong connection.
