WADE DAO

NIMBO is the latest project by WADE DAO and HUGO, a unique MC/producer duo taking Taipei by storm. Known for their signature medley of poetry, symbolism, critique, storytelling, and journalism, they are two unmistakable beacons in Taiwan’s conception of independent and alternative Hip-Hop. 

Mixing dark humor, poetry, and the alchemy of sampling anything, anyhow—WADE DAO and HUGO appear as an urgent force of nature, painting a picture of a city whose creative environment is at the edge of disaster, and their subsequent intervention. It’s bittersweet, as if they were forced to make this, out of a certain necessity for change. 

Released by the enigmatic music creative agency and label Melting Part, the 7-track project looms over the city like a thundercloud that never comes down. Sonically, the production on the album sounds blunt, dense, warm, and dangerous (produced entirely by WADE DAO and HUGO)—sharpened by the sonic engineering of GMA-winning producer and longtime collaborator rgry.

“FLYGOTT” is the lead single and the duo’s unmistakable call to arms. Filled with hope and urgency, the track features both MCs at their sharpest and most vulnerable. In the music video directed by R8ISE, the two throw down in front of Taiwan’s National Concert Hall, and each MC’s voice leaves a trail of fire across the traditional rap narratives of violence and drugs. Both WADE DAO and HUGO know that here, in Taipei, the war is internalized. “Strong man needs a good cry”, laments HUGO, while WADE DAO asserts: “if we ain’t gon’ move, 還有誰?”. 
Meanwhile, “LES HOOPERS” is the most athletic track on the album. WADE DAO and HUGO appear like two olympians trading fire, over a beat that changes restlessly, flickering between noir jazz and fanfare. “BRUNCH” submerges listeners in a spiritual forest of echoes and trailing sirens, sounding much like what a subconscious would sound like, if the city had one.
NIMBO is a project that yearns loudly: for freedom, love, justice, revenge, and change. 

《 NIMBO 》是台北獨到的 MC/製作人搭檔 - WADE DAO 和 HUGO 的最新作品。
他們以融合詩意、象徵、批判、敘事及考究報導的創作風格聞名，被認為是點亮台灣獨立與另類嘻哈音樂的兩大燈塔。
在《 NIMBO 》中，WADE DAO 和 HUGO 將黑色幽默、詩歌和宛如煉金術一般的取樣 (sampling) 精髓混合，像一股勢不可當的自然之力，
描繪出台北如臨災難邊緣的創作場景，以及他們隨後的介入行動。對他們來說這是一張五味雜陳，猶如被環境的需求逼使而作成的專輯。 
由跨域潮流文化音樂品牌  Melting Part 發行，這張包含 7 首曲目的專輯如雷雲般懸浮於城市上空，不曾降落。專輯音色鈍厚、溫暖且危險，
全由 WADE DAO 和 HUGO 親自操刀製作，並經金曲獎得主、長期合作夥伴 rgry 的聲音處理加持。

〈FLYGOTT〉為向場景的呼喚、展現二人已蓄勢待發的首波單曲。充滿希望與迫切感，兩位 MC 在曲中將他們的鋒芒與脆弱淋漓盡致地呈現。
由 R8ISE 執導的 MV 拍攝於台灣國家音樂廳前，兩人聲音化為藍火、炙燒著傳統饒舌中已過度飽和的暴力和毒品敘事。WADE DAO 和 HUGO 都深知，在台北的戰場，
槍口已指向城內。HUGO 悲嘆道：「堅強的人也需要大哭一場 (Strong man needs a good cry) 」，而 WADE DAO 則表達：「如果我們不行動 (if we ain’t gon’ move)，還有誰？」

同時，〈LES HOOPERS〉是專輯中最靈活的曲目，WADE DAO 和 HUGO 化身兩位奧運選手，在不安定的節拍上交鋒，節奏在黑色爵士 (noir jazz) 與號角聲間閃爍變化。而〈BRUNCH〉則將聽眾帶入迴盪與尾隨警鳴聲的靈性森林，彷彿是這座城市的潛意識在低語―若它有自己的聲音的話。

《 NIMBO 》是一張大聲渴求「自由、愛、正義、復仇與變革」的專輯。
