Nitro Microphone Underground, a formidable collective in the Japanese hip-hop scene, emerged during the late 1990s and rapidly gained a reputation for their raw, incisive lyrical content and distinctive production. The group, which consists of members Dabo, Macka-Chin, Deli, S-Word, XBS, Bigzam, Suiken, and Gore-Tex, became a symbol of the underground scene's potency and influence. They were able to maintain an authentic soundscape that fuses the gritty ambiance of urban Tokyo with hard-hitting beats and rhymes, a signature that garnered them a dedicated following.

Their discography reflects their evolution and influence in the genre, with notable releases such as "SE7EN," "Kemonomichi," and "Choose One." Their work, spanning over a decade, showcases their ability to adapt and refine their sound without losing the underground edge that defines them. Albums like "NITRO X 99-09" not only celebrate their longevity but also highlight their important role in the development of Japanese hip-hop. With "Back Again - EP," Nitro Microphone Underground proves that their collaborative spirit and lyrical prowess remain intact, continuing to inspire new generations of artists and fans within the rich tapestry of Japan's music scene.
