2 of Japan's most cutting-edge artists have been making waves with their outstanding collaborative debut THE GRIFFIN TAPES. Crafted by beatmaker Taka Perry and rapper Leon Fanourakis, the record has been nothing short of a creative tirumph.
“Japan’s hip hop scene is one of the strongest in the world, we really wanted to shine a light on that and take it to as many regions as possible, by involving some of our favourite artists from around the globe. Stylistically, Leon and I wanted to make sure this record felt fresh and continually pushed boundaries on what a hip hop record can sound like in 2024,” explains Taka Perry.

Having already dropped the EP's massive first single 'EXPRESS' and its blistering follow up track 'BELIEVE' featuring RAMENGVRL, sokodomo, YNG Martyr - the pair are ready to unveil their third single and focus track, 'FLY'.
'FLY' and the accompanying music video both begin with a psychedelic influence, featuring Taka’s production of wavy guitar riffs and a classic boom-bap beats. Directed once again by Red Moon Studios, the MV follows Leon on a feel-good trip around Tokyo, running into some pretty visually colourful characters, including Taka (who has morphed into a lion).
