The Champloo is a fusion of styles inspired by the anime Samurai Champloo—blending the precision of Jin and the wildness of Mugen. This project is meant to live in the background of conversations, but also to be sampled, remixed, and reimagined.

If you’re a fan of the legendary Nujabes, you’ll especially want to stay tuned for the upcoming remixes.

Already heard the project? Let me know your favorite track—personally, “Your Smile” is one of mine.

wavy baby 25 freestyle — 

first joint I dropped since I got off socials and locked in learning how to make beats, mix, etc. Produced by me, sample flip from Gavinco’s “Caravella.” Shoutout to them. Album’s in motion… no clue when it’s coming, but whatever. Happy summer, enjoy this wave.
