Bushido's last track! I can't describe it very well, so just give it a listen. It hits hard.
Intro (ELEmenTAL PROcedURE) Intro (ELEmenTAL PROcedURE)
The intro track of Gaiden. Me rapping a verse over a sweet DJ Krush beat.
Mic Check 1, 2 Mic Check 1, 2
The second track from Gaiden. A little bit of conscious rap here. I was originally gonna use a dark Mobb Deep beat for this song, but then I found something about five million times better.
RISE OF THE DRAGON RISE OF THE DRAGON
The Gaiden "street anthem." ;) A tribute to hiphop, the movement, the culture, the works. Featuring Zeebra, one of the most well-known Japanese emcees both domestically and overseas.

I originally wrote part of the lyrics for this back in the summer after junior year, but I never finished them until recently. This is an immense track, almost ten minutes long. It's the story of a kid who liked to rap under streetlights.
Samurai Spirits Samurai Spirits
I was listening to Nujabes' work on the Samurai Champloo OST and got inspired to write this. For some strange reason I really like the sound of the phrase "Samurai Spirits." :) Featuring Shing02, one of the most lyrical underground guys I've heard.
CH Thoughts CH Thoughts
I wrote this at the end of junior year. It's a song about Cherry Hill. I think anyone who lives here may be able to relate, if only a little.
{BeEtBoXx InTeRlUdE} {BeEtBoXx InTeRlUdE}
Gaiden's midway interlude. Just a quick verse over Rahzell beatboxing.
FOLLOW THE FLOW FOLLOW THE FLOW
Casual, smooth song where I talk about how I got into rap and relate a little bit of personal history. It was amazing how fast I churned this sucker out; the whole song-making process only took like 45 minutes here.

I wrote a poem a long time ago called "Graffiti Angels." It was about decadence, poverty, and how people simply struggle to survive. This song is based on that poem. Featuring Chali 2NA, another one of my favorite underground artists.
~ 4 girls ~ ~ 4 girls ~
A song about the women in my life. Haha, sike. Give it a listen and see.
kakka te koi yo! kakka te koi yo!
Long posse cut. The title means "come and fight" in Japanese--I rap a little bit in (bad) Japanese here too. Featuring DMK and Jam Master Jun; you should know who they are by now!
Samurai Spirits (dawnBREAK Remix) Samurai Spirits (dawnBREAK Remix)
The regular version of Samurai Spirits has a slow beat--this remix has a much more energetic one. Featuring T.M.Revolution, one of the few male Japanese pop artists I really admire. This might sound a little familiar to Rurouni Kenshin fans.
Winter Days Winter Days
The last track of Gaiden, and also one of my favorite cuts on the album. This is for anyone who's ever felt lonely or nostalgic during those cold winter days. :) Featuring BoA, Korean pop princess.
