Hime

Starting around 1997, there has been lots of energetic activity in the underground hip hop scene centering in the West Tokyo area such as Hachioji, Machida, and Fussa. After grinding away at many guest performances and live shows in clubs, Hime, the First Lady of dj honda RECORDINGS(JAPAN) is a fierce Japanese female emcee. In 2003, she dropped her long-awaited debut album, "Himehajime" and her name has become widely known in the hip hop scene with the undercurrent support from dj honda. Subsequently, Himes sophomore album, Ukina stepped up a notch with Tokyos reknowned guest artists such as Hannya, GDX, etc. in 2004. Continuing to expand on her growing fan base, in 2005, Hime toured nationally in Japan and her popularity grew immensely. With the upcoming release of her junior album, "Hitogoyomi", her album is one with the concept revolving around topics that include the months of the year. Todays hottest hip hop producers such as dj honda, GM-KAZ, DJ BASS, Miyoshi/Zenzou, Q, KNOCK, and d-Stilla, were recruited to make head nodding, hypnotic beats with featured guest emcees from DABO, local Hachioji MC's Miyoshi/Zenzou, JUN-G, LOOZ, and Matsurika Unite. With 3 albums under her belt, "Hitogoyomi" is definitely set to cause quite a stir in the Japanese hip-hop market in 2006!
