“DAT & KAKKY” released the new music Album “Need”
“DAT & KAKKY” just dropped the new and hot Album “Need”. It will contain the songs and 'Need' . Enjoy the Alternative sound from the far east Asia.
DAT (Okayama) & KAKKY (Kobe) release their latest single "Need".
DAT and KAKKY respond with vivid grooves to SAKURAI33's meticulously constructed track, anchored by sampling.
"Need" paints a relatable story of "living" through relaxed, authentic lyrics and a solid sense of rhythm.
It captures the conflicts and hopes hidden within daily life, carving them out at their raw temperature without forced embellishment.
DAT's direct, emotional verses intersect with KAKKY's fluid flow, shaping a single rhythm.
What exists isn't competition, but a natural breathing space where each draws out the other's style.
SAKURAI33's sampled beats, while distinct from jazz or mellow sounds, retain a nostalgic warmth.
The words of the two artists drifting atop them quietly blend into the listener's everyday life.
The jacket art was created by collage artist Syu Miura.
Using the technique of cutting, pasting, and connecting paper, it expresses the unique texture and warmth of analog.
The collage incorporates daily life and felt experiences, creating a design that resonates with the song's worldview.
Mastering was handled by lou from Okayama, fully drawing out the songs' intricate texture and groove.
This single possesses a light yet grounded sound, where street reality and humanity coexist,
offering a depth that prompts reflection on "reasons for living" and "what we truly need."
"Need"-it's neither the past nor an ideal, but the real impulse to survive the present.

DAT / Okayama / THE WEST CLASSIC RECORDS
DAT is an MC based in Okayama, Japan. At the age of 18, DAT picked up the mic and was shocked by the presence of western heavyweights - HANABIS, FEIDA-WAN, LEESOK, NO LOOK PLAN - and fell in love with HIPHOP.
Through "BACK YARD," an event he founded in his hometown, he has been rooted in the scene, connecting with fierce competitors in and outside of the prefecture, and carving out a path for himself. In 2021, he was selected to represent UMB Okayama. He has made his mark not only with his name, but also with his ability. Their sound is based on sampling, and has an earthy but core sound with a foundation of jazz and soul. The lyrics are unadorned and unpretentious, spitting out life as it is. The flow is rigid. The words are heavy. There are no lies. His many works include "DAT TRIP" (2021), "GOOD NIGHT MORNING" (2022), EP "IN DA HOUSE" (2023), "itsu no manikano Ima wo" (2024), "Underneath the Colorful is Always Plain" (2024), and many more. He continues to send out music, including singles, without stopping. With Okayama on his back, he travels around the country with a single microphone. Even from the countryside, you can do it. I have proven it, and I will continue to prove it.
