ANARCHY

ANARCHY

Anarchy is represented by the prominent Japanese hip-hop label R-Rated Records. He was born in Osaka, but moved to Kyoto at the age of 3. Anarchy's lolling, slightly blunt delivery is in sharp contrast to the introspective nature of his lyrics, which often deal with issues related to his youth and childhood abandonment. He was a delinquent teenager and became part of a motorcycle gang, but claims his negative energy was transformed after he discovered hip-hop through famous Japanese artist Zeebra. Anarchy has a close association with KOHH, as the two rappers' differing rap styles and similar backgrounds tend to complement each other well on collaborative efforts. -By EWEN HOSIE on COMPLEX "25 Japanese Rappers You Need to Know"
