Heaven or Hell (feat. Louieville Sluggah)

Heaven or Hell (feat. Louieville Sluggah) (Explicit)

From a hidden corner of the city,
words are born where no one is watching.
"Gyōkū" is KANETSUGU's latest piece,
where resignation and rage, tenderness and prayer, quietly collide.

Kicked down by a distorted reality,
yet still choosing to grip the mic again-
this is not a song about being "cool,"
but a poem for those who choose truth over appearances.

Behind every smile lies silent pain,
a loneliness too deep to name.
And still, the choice is made:
to look up at the sky.

"If I had the strength to accept everything,
would I be free from doubt?"

This question falls gently into the hearts of those who listen.

Alienation from society,
a gaze toward someone deeply loved,
the struggle to accept a self that feels like nothing-
all of it emerges from KANETSUGU's inner factory of poetry and sound,
etched into this moment.

This song is for:
those who wait for someone.
those who smile through pain.
those who still look up at the sky.

Biography 

[Kanetsugu]
Born in Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan
MC of H.I.T.C. Records

A multi-instrumentalist, Kanetsugu is involved in the promotion of hip-hop culture in his hometown of Hitachi City, and is capable of everything from producing music to organizing events.

While heavily influenced by American hip-hop, his lyrics are inspired by the Eric Clapton and British rock that his father listened to as a child, forming a unique musical sense.

In 2022, he performed with international technical MCs such as Louieville Sluggah of Boot Camp Click in Brooklyn, New York, M-Dot in Boston, KRUMB SNATCHA of GANGSTARR FOUNDATION, and PROP DYLAN in Sweden.

In 2023, he made a production with Termanology and continues to make further breakthroughs.

His songwriting and activities, which express his unique worldview born from a morbid world, will give us a glimpse of a different nostalgia from last year.

1992 (feat. Termanology)

KANETSUGU, a worldwide artist, releases long-awaited new music [24] under his own name in 2023!

This time, in collaboration with beat maker GOOD SHIT from Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, KANETSUGU takes a new approach from the north and south of Ibaraki.

In a departure from the Boombap beats that made a strong impression last year with U.S. artists, the new track incorporates elements of drill beats, such as the octave-bass 808s and edgy 16-beat hi-hats.
In addition to this, KANETSUGU's own churning flow is no less impressive, showing an evolution of style with satirical lyrics that will have a strong impact on heads and players alike.

His new musical approach is expected to be the fruit of his talent and creativity.
We expect to see more and more of him this year!
