Near Side Philadelmiya

Artist Profile
Near Side PhiladelmiyaNamed "Near Side Philadelmiya" because the distance from New York to Philadelphia is roughly the same as that from Tokyo to Utsunomiya, this project was formed by chance by three artists - 7AWERA (ONENESS), MOON, and 3CS (Authentic Manners) - who each moved to Tochigi Prefecture for their own reasons. They liken Tokyo, a mecca of culture, to New York, and use the slang term "Philadelmiya" to describe Utsunomiya - their base - based on this geographical relationship. Drawing musical inspiration from Philadelphia - a city that has produced a diverse array of musicians - they remain true to their unique style and worldview. Following their debut album released on Eazy Records, a label run by the Tokyo hip-hop collective ONENESS, they have revealed that they are currently working on their long - awaited second album. Rumor has it that it's going to be incredible.
