Show Tufli - Jap Scene

Producer: Sha-Liek

Album: Tufli Tuesdays Series

Label: Unsigned

When I went through my obsessed-with-all-things-Japanese phase back in middle school, my fixation on cartoons, comic books and video games from the Land of the Rising Sun was the mark of a bona-fide nerd. Now, after years of exposure on Adult Swim and popularization by the likes of Lupe Fiasco, that stuff is… well, it’s still nerdy, but in a cool way. On Jap Scene, the latest entry in Show Tufli‘s currently-running weekly series, the Booth taps into that vein of pop-cultural appeal as he recounts his romance with an exotically alluring female. Sha-Liek‘s beat, which some may recognize from Das Racist‘s Rapping 2 U, finds the producer flipping a sample from Minma’s Shika No Uta (that’s the ending theme from Samurai Champloo, for all you cartoon-lovers). Lyrically, the young “hip-hop entrepreneur” keeps things light and entertaining, lacing the joint with breathless declarations of love, mixed with a little lust: “Is it just me, or is she the beautifullest thing I’ve ever seen?.” If this musical journey to the Far East leaves you intrigued, stay tuned for future Tufli Tuesdays entries, dropping – you guessed it – every Tuesday.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11662	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs I've heard Tufli's work before, but nothing ever really grabbed me. People have really hyped him up - heck, even our staff members have urged me to consider his material for feature. And then I heard "Jap Scene," which is one part Wu-Tang influence, one part originality, and 100% dope. Follow @DJBooth
