Seeing what he looks like in baseball uniform, he is the late-coming rookie.
This album opens with the voice of OORUTAICHI and this is the hip-hop
album of the next generation. This album would remind you of the initial moment when you touched and felt a sampler for the first time and the memories that you were eager to make sampling of something everyday. He challenged to make his own hip-hop and sampling theme compilation album
while CD selling is decreasing, only few certain popular singers or groups and some insignificant complation albums are making good sales. Sounds and styles vary every track, yet they are consistently original. I don't mention whether it is good or bad, but this is the B-consciousness of RUBYORLA.
Another key-word of this album is free-style.Since he is an improvisers, he has his own style in completing tracks:he has MC or scat done by artists, then he arranges it for tracks. As for track 13 of this album, which is 13minute-duration, they challenged rap-field-recording that he recorded
three MCs' free-style at once in a subway in Kyoto. This is the hightlight of this album.
It seems incredibly difficult to make 'sampling' from'happenings', however RUBYORLA can manage it somehow. How would RUBYORLA's B-consciousness be accepted by B-boys and B-girls? RUBYORLA will keep sampling of something new hereafter.
