BENTENKOZO

Born in the Heisei era, raised in the spirit of Showa.
In this Reiwa age, an old-school soul sets sail with pride.

The long-awaited debut album OTOKOBUNE
Kyotos own 136youngboss embarks on his bold voyage.

Every track crafted by his trusted ally, Dodge Noledge,
weaving beats inspired by Japanese ballads and enka.
Together, they carve a new path in Japanese hip-hop
where honor and human connection still matter.

After changing his name from 136,
he laid the groundwork with EPs Benten Kozou and Enma Daioh,
capturing Showa-era scenery and the way of the true man.
Now, at last
he unveils his 10-track debut album.

Themes of conviction, the roads he walked, what hes seen,
what he needs to say, the nights that nearly broke him,
and above all, gratitude for friends and loved ones
his unfiltered truth is embedded in every verse.

This isnt just rap. These are soul-stirring kotodama
spoken truths that resonate deep.
His current peak,
a true culmination of his first chapter
and, without a doubt, the finest work of his career.

Guest features include:
13ELL and POWER WAVE from his Kyoto roots,
JASS from Osakas hip-hop crew Tha Jointz,
and rising star Shuto from Okinawa.

This is a gathering of kindred spirits, connected through sound.
All of it
now loaded aboard the KANBUNE,
as it sails out into the vast ocean of Reiwa.

This is a message to the many unlicensed jobs out there, and to young people who are willing to betray their families and lose everything they have in a single life.

"Born in Heisei, raised in Showa" is his catchphrase
and it's the Showa ideology he brings to life.
It's tough to be a man in any era.

His name is Benten and his name is Kozo.
He's a young boss from Kyoto who is much talked about.

Immerse yourself in his worldview.

New single "Dounika naru"

There are hard times and fun times in life, and sometimes troubles and things don't go well. But just being alive will somehow work itself out. Just being alive is a blessing.
This is a song that lets you feel his humanity.

Dounikanaru means "letitbe" in Japanese.

136youngboss NEWSINGLE
As the title suggests, life is like a gamble
The way he lives his life in "NORUKASORUKA" is projected directly into the song.

Please listen to the half-life of a man crazy about gambling.

Restarted as 136youngboss,
About a year has passed since the 1st EP BENTEN KOZO.
The second work after his retirement, Enma Daioh.
This work has been featured in 5 out of 6 songs.
Showing various aspects of yourself that are completely different from last time.
I was able to show it.
However, the work is consistent,
There is something you can definitely feel when you listen to his works, such as themes such as Chinese flavor, the Showa era, and the sense of duty and humanity.
There's something you can feel from every song.

live clumsily and honestly
A little bit about the life of a loving man
Why not lend your ear?

A song for my friends serving time in prison.
Also feat. Toyama Prefecture rapper DOFU
They are currently in prison, so please pay attention to the lyrics that express their feelings.
