SLUM所属のラッパー、YUKSTA-ILLが約2年半ぶりに放つニューアルバム『82PLACE』からの先行シングルとして盟友RAMZAのプロデュースによるバスケアンセム"GRIT-N-GRIND"がリリース！自身も所属しハーフタイムショーを務める三重のBリーグチーム「ヴィアティン三重」から発足したHIPHOPユニット「GRIT-N-GRIND(通称GNG)」がモチーフとなった1曲で、1週間後に控えるプロバスケリーグ「B.LEAGUE」の新シーズン開幕に先駆けてのリリースとなる。「HIPHOP
× バスケ」をコンセプトにGNGとしても次なるステップを目指した内容になっており、分かりやすい描写に加えて専門的なフレーズを要所に盛り込んでいてヒップホップヘッズだけでなく、全国各地のバスケフリーク・ブースター達の心をくすぐることは間違いないだろう。

GRIT-N-GRIND

J.Columbus

The park where someone is. The park where I am. The smell of rain or the smell of grass.
Slowly, something seems to move out of itself.
When the beautiful beat of CEDAR LAW$ is on play, which I got a while ago, it makes us stand up and the poem is born.
A rap that seems to be read aloud by J.COLUMBUS, and a hook that hums behind it. And YUKSTA-ILL to spit the ball of words.
The two contrasting figures in the same scene gradually fold over.
I hope that the QUESTION that I throw at the scenery in front of me will be the ANSWER by the time I get home. "I'm waiting for the rain that is supposed to fall."
PARK ANTHEM.

QUESTION

Year 2023, we celebrated the HIPHOP's 50th anniversary. At the same time, local rapper YUKSTA-ILL's new label "WAVELENGTH PLANT" was launched from Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture, Japn. Following last year's release of his own single and full-length album, he is starting off his second season with his own song. 
The light and heavy sound of local ally UCbeats, and the edgy wordplay flowed by YUKSTA-ILL. There is no doubt about the chemistry between the two.
As the title "HUMBLE PEEPS" suggests, it is a message song that shares a humble stance with listeners with a sense of self-discipline.

HUMBLE PEEPS

MUTA

A new story will be told from the golden era of 1982 and 1987, which produced some of the best MCs of all time. YUKSTA-ILL (1982) and MUTA (1987) are both loved for their skill and style in the field, and anyone who doesn't know them in the underground can say they're moles. they proclaim to the world. By spitting out the outlook of each of the 16. And we will connect. The vision that emerges when 64 ends will connect generations, regions, and gaps to the future.
The track was handled by IRONSTONE, the mix and master were handled by MET as MTHA2, and the jacket photo was taken by TEPPEI HORI.

MULBE

MULBE, which moved its base to Hiroshima in the spring of 2023, and YUKSTA-ILL, which established its own label "WAVELENGTH PLANT" in Suzuka, Mie Prefecture. DJ MANTLE as MANDRILL pours out black DOPE sounds from the northern Kanto region. As if enjoying the tense tension and thrill, the two skilled MCs shoot CRISIS in their own style with a low center of gravity and without averting their eyes. DOPE HIP HOP grabbing a momentary chance.

CRISIS

MONKEY OFF MY BACK

It is natural for a rapper to release a full-length album.
The legendary US hip hop magazine "THE SOURCE"'s mic rating system was not even evaluated unless it was a full album.
Flashy singles, compactly condensed mini albums, and impressive verses in guest songs are of course good.
However, the full album is still the guideline for measuring the rapper's ability and capacity.

YUKSTA-ILL, who represents the Tokai area from Suzuka Mie, is one of "THE RAPPER" who has a strong desire to make a full album.
The 1st "QUESTIONABLE THOUGHT" which seeks answers to the thoughts that still have their own doubts,
the 2nd "NEO TOKAI ON THE LINE" which sieved himself on the orbit of NEO TOKAI,
the 3rd "DEFY" which showed his unshakable mental strength while looking out over the world,
all of these are full-sized hip-hop albums created with a clear concept in mind, with an awareness of the origins, developments, and conclusions.

And after 4 years, he is now back with a full-length album.
The 4th full album titled "MONKEY OFF MY BACK" will be released to the world from his own label "WAVELENGTH PLANT" which he just launched.

"Time was in abundance due to the epidemic. As a result, songs were mass-produced.
Problem was since I continued working without being conscious of the album, I had a hard time finding a cohesion," he says.
Finally, after all the setbacks and trial and error, it eventually took shape into the coherent work that he wanted.
It goes without saying that the various events experienced during that period, such as growing pain and change in personal life, were strongly reflected in his songs.

Sublimate daily conflicts, financial problems, and negativity that makes you want to turn your eyes away into art.
Put yourself in the local area, enjoy basketball, go home to your wife, and write lyrics. Even the depictions of casual everyday life are dramatic.
The guest appearances are all set in the right places, and the dreamy sound production will spur the perfect season to start something.
Like the legendary NAS who broke the long silence and showed a record setting run of four full album releases from 2020 to 2022.
YUKSTA-ILL, who has reached an unparalleled realm, now resumes spitting bars towards the eardrums of the listener.
