OZROSAURUS is a Japanese hip-hop group hailing from Yokohama, a city with strong connections to the country's urban music culture. The group consists of MC MACCHO or Maq-T who serves as the primary voice and face of the band. They emerged onto the scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s and are noted for their gritty beats, compelling narratives, and MACCHO's distinctive flow, which capture the essence of street life and the struggles within. With their name referencing the "045" area code of Yokohama, they often pay homage to their roots and have built a solid reputation in Japan's hip-hop community.

Their music catalog represents a journey through the evolution of Japanese hip-hop, with their tracks often characterized by a mix of aggressive rhythms and a reflective, soulful approach to lyricism. Recently, OZROSAURUS has continued their legacy with releases like "Juice" and "Rhyme & Blues (Standard Edition)," showcasing their versatility and growth as artists. Their 2021 single "The Phoenix (Will Rise)" symbolizes a resurgence and relentless spirit, aligning with their longstanding theme of resilience. "OUR TIME IS N.O.W." and "OG" remain anthems for old and new fans alike, demonstrating the group's ability to stay relevant and influential over two decades into their career. With a discography that spans multiple eras of Japanese hip-hop, OZROSAURUS remains a vital and enduring presence in the genre.
