Album lore

NKOHA 2K18, released on AV Records in December 2018, stakes its claim amid Japan’s underground electronic and hip-hop scenes. Across twelve tracks, NKOHA fuses the raw energy of hardcore with glitching beats and fragmented samples, crafting a tense, kinetic atmosphere. The featured track “Jiraiya” exemplifies this approach, layering rapid-fire percussion over distorted synths with a restless momentum.Titles such as “Shisui Uchiha” and “Third Kazekage” nod to Japanese pop culture, threading local resonance through the record’s fractured rhythms. With a modest but dedicated following, NKOHA 2K18 offers a focused snapshot of contemporary Japanese electronic experimentation, poised between beat-driven hip-hop and abrasive hardcore textures.
