Tamaki Roy
Tamaki Roy, born in Miyagi Prefecture in 1981 and based in Tokyo, is a rapper and composer known for his genre-defying versatility. Starting as a hip-hop enthusiast deeply influenced by acts like Nas and later Japanese bands like Fishmans, he’s released multiple albums—including *anyways* (2020) and collaborative works like *Tanoshimi* with U-Zhaan and Chinza Dopeness—that blend jazz rap, vaporwave, and minimalist tabla rhythms. Beyond music, he collaborates with dancers like Yasutake Shimaji to explore the intersections of movement and sound, often questioning traditional genre boundaries through performances that merge rap with experimental choreography. His recent output includes the *Furniture music* series, remixes like *Last Summer Rework*, and multimedia projects such as the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Triennale 2023 soundtrack.
Known for his conceptual approach, Roy balances pop sensibilities with avant-garde experimentation, whether reimagining rap’s role in contemporary art or crafting beats that feel equally at home in clubs and gallery spaces. If you’re into hip-hop that refuses to sit still, his discography is a rabbit hole worth diving into.
