もののけ姫 was a childhood favorite, its one of those things i love so much that sometimes i feel like it only belongs to me, but i’m hella grateful to have found people who love it as much as i do 💜🌱
What do you get when you mix the magical childhood playfulness of Studio Ghibli with the goofy wilding out of hyphy music? Maybe everything seiji oda makes, but especially “MONONOKE II [ashitaka]” a collaboration with Japanese rapper SEEDA. Taking a little piece of Oakland to the streets of Tokyo, the new single pairs lofi boom bap with the rappers’ complementary styles, SEEDA effortlessly switching between Japanese and English and seiji oda almost whispering his bars with deadly quiet. For more like this in a funky disco style, be sure to check out the CITY POP SERIES.
Support seiji oda on Bandcamp for $5 per month and get access to their back catalog plus demos before they’re released.
