If you haven't looked into Japanese hip hop and pop you should start. There is something so similar yet unique about the music scene in Japan. Some of the best American producers, Timbaland for example, work with a lot of Japanese artists. One of the first Japanese artist I was introduced to was M-flo. They are one of the biggest hip hop acts in the country, and have collaborated with other big names like BoA. Originally, the group was made up of producer DJ Taku Takahashi, Verbal, and Lisa. But Lisa eventually left the group for a solo career. The remaining members are also a part of the Teriyaki Boyz, who have worked with Kanye West, Daft Punk, and Pharell.

They remind me of the way hip hop was in the 90s
