ESSENCIAL♪PROFILE♪
1998年から活動開始。一人一人が非常に高いスキルを武器とする2MC。 SMITH-CNの一度聞いたら癖になるHIGHTトーンボイスとフリッキーなフロウ、ストレートなリリック！ SNIPEの吐き出す分厚いボイスとフローが生み出す作品どれもが完成度が高く、 聴く者の心にも響く！時折垣間見られる真っすぐな向上心に嘘はなく、常に等身大の現状を歌っている。同年代の若者なら誰もが共感できるそれらの感情は、現代のブルースとも評価され、確実に進化している。もちろんステージ上でのパフォーマンスも見ていて飽きなく話題である。 作品でいうと、今まで数多くのMIX CDに参加し楽曲を提供しつづけ、 ２００６年の７月に待ちに待ったstreet mixCD/BACKYARD radio Pt,1を発売！ わずか一ヶ月で500枚SOLD OUT!!!!そして、その年の１１月にはBACKYARD radio Pt,2 を発売しそれもすぐSOLD OUT。 2006~2007年に行われたTEAM44BLOXのボスDELIの(still BRUNIN JAPAN TUAR) にも動向しその情熱を燃やし、各地にその名を刻んできた。
２ヶ月に一度ESSENCIALプレゼンツのクラブイベントBACKYARD ナイトも動員数を増やしている。
現在はHOT029というMIX CDをSMITH-CNがホストMCとしてVOL,1を完売！既にVOL,2も制作中である。

ESSENCIAL♪PROFILE♪
Hitting the scene in 1998, ESSENCIAL consists of two MCs who have come to brandish their extremely high skills like finely-honed weapons.
After hearing SMITH-CN's straight-up lyrics served up by his trademark HIGH-toned freaky flow, you'll be hooked! Combined with SNIPE's deep voice and heavy delivery, every track that ESSENCIAL lays down rings out with a high level of perfection that is sure to resonate within the mind, body, and soul of all those who listen!
With a drive to reach the top that is rarely seen, ESSENCIAL's rhymes always come true, covering a variety of contemporary issues. Touching on emotions and topics that today's young adults can relate with, ESSENCIAL's music is touted as a form of modern blues that is constantly evolving. Coupled with electrifying stage performances that leave you yearning for more, ESSENCIAL is definitely a hot topic.
Since they first emerged into the game, ESSENCIAL has continued to make guest appearances on numerous mix CDs promoting their work, while July of 2006 saw the long-awaited release of their mix CD, "BACKYARD RADIO pt. 1." Within a month, all 500 copies of the CD were sold out! In November of the same year, they went on to release "BACKYARD RADIO pt. 2," which to no surprise, was also soon sold out!
ESSENCIAL then took the spotlight on DELI's (The boss of TEAM 44BLOX) 2006-2007 "Still Burnin' Japan Tour," where they carved their name into the map with burning ambition.
Now, with their own club event, "ESSENCIAL presents: BACKYARD NIGHT," taking place once every two months, ESSENCIAL's popularity and reputation are steadily on the rise.
Presently, the "HOT029 vol.1" mix CD, with SMITH-CN as host, is fresh on the streets, with plans for vol.2 already in the works. Also, coming soon is SMITH-CN's collaboration with SCARS' track maker, SAC, entitled "Endless Trip." Finally, in an effort to bring you their official album, slated for release next year, ESSENCIAL is still on the grind!
