ISSUGI & GRADIS NICE release the “XL (feat. KID FRESINO)” remix on DOGEAR RECORDS, with a video out at the same time. “XL” was already on their album Day’N’Nite 2 and had become a regular fixture in their live sets. This remix brings KID FRESINO into the picture. ISSUGI has been one of the most consistent presences in the Japanese rap underground for the past decade, operating out of DOGEAR RECORDS. GRADIS NICE handles production and cuts. KID FRESINO, whose solo career picked up serious momentum from At Leisure (2019) through 20, Stop It. (2021), has one of the most recognizable signatures in the current scene.
Lyrics by ISSUGI and KID FRESINO, production by GRADIS NICE. Mixed by TAPPO GREENHILL, mastered by Hiroshi Shiota. Recorded at J.Studio in Tokyo. Video directed by c.h0c0 (Tha Jointz), featuring people from both artists’ circles.
