DJ Mitsu the Beats is one of the names that come to mind when you think of current Japanese Hip Hop. Well, it may not be fair to group him in just that genre as he explores genres that are in close reach. Recently Mitsu the Beats has released the awaited “Word to the Wise” album. Like other Japanese producers, Mitsu the Beats gets around collaborating with artists from around the world and this album features credible Korean act, Dynamic Duo. Other features include, Grap Luva, Kev Brown, LMNO, and Elzhi to name a few. Another one from THE producer doing it right now.
Here is Mos Def kickin’ some bars from the “Embassy” track off his latest The Ecstatic album. Mos Def made way with Current Music filmers/producers for this one.
The recent Adidas Originals‘ house party campaign brought together important figures affiliated with Adidas and it’s cultural expansion. DMC (Run DMC) and Japanese beatboxer Afra joined together on one of the most recognizable and important songs in Hip Hop and Adidas.

Here’s a new one from the west coast Hip Hop group, Far East Movement called “Girls on the Dance Floor”. Seems like the fast tempo club single is creating a buzz. Their biggest breakthrough was probably the single off the Fast and Furious 2 soundtrack. Hopefully this single will take them further. Take a listen to the track here.
Squincy Jones from Houston put some nice work into this Nintendub mixtape. Think how some screwed-dubstep-8 bit nintendo samples would sound like mashed together. Yeah, I wouldn’t be able to imagine either. Take a listen here via mashit.com.
