Description:

JUU4E's album is now complete! JUUU4E, a crew member of a smuggler's boat that brings new and dangerous goods, brings a new shipment of cutting-edge pan-Asian music with a strong message through the medium of TRAP! This album is entirely self-produced by JUU4E and mixed by Young-G. The Thai-Japanese-English lyricism, flexible flow, and tracks that are dubby and more refined than the previous album are similar to the previous album, in which JUU4E chewed HIP HOP/TRAP and completely made it his own, but what is notable is the strong intention to represent "Asia". The songs are influenced by Malaysian music, and include the dance performance "Lon Geng" from southern Thailand, Japanese folk songs, and songs by Teresa Teng, whom he has been familiar with since he was a child. The songs are a light-hearted rebuke of the pretense of globalism and exoticism, as well as the self-orientalism that runs rampant in Asian hip-hop today.
