Night Cruise by Wa Yo Set

The Osaka street-born instrumental hip-hop jazz band Wa Yo Set unveils their highly anticipated 2024 project in full.

The album features a diverse lineup of original tracks, including the groovy, fast-paced beats of "channel2" and "Switch", as well as the refined jazzy breaks of "cruisin'" and "just begun." Highlighted by KZ’s (Umeda Cipher) razor-sharp rap, "Don't let me down," with its jazzy bassline, and the refreshing summer breeze of "R308," both previously released on two advance 7-inch singles, are included here as well. The album also boasts vivid covers of iconic Japanese R&B/hip-hop classics such as "Tsutsumikomu You ni..." and "Konya wa Boogie Back nice vocal."

Making its debut is their must-have DJ cover of Notorious B.I.G.’s hip-hop anthem "Mo Money Mo Problems."

As the band reaches new heights this year, their evolution into 2025 is something to watch with great anticipation.
