MC and beatmaker IKE (Doggy G Central Records) and producer/bassist theeluu released their joint single, 「Tokyo Traffic」, on June 24, 2026.
Their first collaborative release takes Tokyo's bustling streets as its theme and was co-written from the initial idea through to completion. It contains two tracks: the title song, 「Tokyo Traffic」, whose floating sound recalls Japanese R&B of the 2000s, and the accompanying track, 「Frame」. Bringing together two musicians who have each built their own careers in their respective fields, the release captures Tokyo's heat and atmosphere.
