Japanese Hip-Hop is a very distinct subsection of rap, Midicronica being no exception. Consisting of four members '#894' '#181' '#716' and '#563', Midicronica could be described as a Japanese Gorillaz, each release having it's own lore behind it in a self-contained world. Side A's 'san francisco' is famously the ending theme for the finale of popular 2000s anime Samurai Champloo, though the B-side is the surprise star for me. 'Butterfly R' is a heavily auto-tuned R&B fusion, the instrumental is a down-tempo groover and wouldn't feel out of place in an early 2000s Top 40 with its jazz influences and organs.
