ZEEBRA

Zeebra stands tall as one of Japan’s hip-hop trailblazers, blending gritty streetwise lyricism with slick production since the '90s. Known as the "Godfather of Japanese hip-hop," he co-founded the influential group King Giddra, which helped cement the genre’s roots in Japan with socially conscious rhymes and boom-bap beats. His solo career skyrocketed with anthems like *Street Dreams* and *Summertime In The City*, mixing bilingual flows and themes of urban life, ambition, and resilience. Recent drops like *Big Big Money* and *OWLGANG [Remix]* show he’s still sharp, collaborating with younger artists like JUMBO MAATCH while staying true to his raw, charismatic style. Whether spitting fire about grind or growth, Zeebra’s music feels like a love letter to hip-hop itself—unapologetic, timeless, and always evolving.
