Album lore

Born Again, issued in April 2019 on PORTRATION Sound and BCDMG, compiles seven tracks from Bleecker Chrome that navigate the intersections of Japanese R&B, rap, and Thai hip hop. The album’s modest discography—highlighted by titles such as “Freezin’ Cold” and “Wangan Midnight”—anchors its place within the j-urban sphere, reflecting a nuanced regional dialogue in hip hop’s global lineage. The featured track, “14,” exemplifies the record’s balance between rhythm and lyricism, carrying a measured confidence that rewards attentive listening.While the album has accrued a modest following, with just under a thousand listeners on Last.fm, its seven-track spread is a discreet artifact for crate-diggers interested in the evolving signals of East Asian underground hip hop. Born Again’s production and flow present a snapshot of late 2010s j-rap and R&B, offering a concise but distinctive entry in the genre’s ongoing archive.
