Creepy Nuts
A rapper and a world-champion DJ from Japan whose breakneck, tongue-twisting singles became inescapable well beyond hip-hop circles — 'Bling-Bang-Bang-Born' conquered the internet twice over.
Creepy Nuts is the Tokyo duo of rapper R-Shitei and DJ Matsunaga. R-Shitei made his name in Japanese freestyle battle competition, winning the Ultimate MC Battle title multiple times, while Matsunaga is a DMC world champion turntablist. The pairing shows in the music: dense, fast, heavily rhymed verses over scratch-driven production.
Their songs often move between comic self-deprecation and sharp observation, and they have found a wide audience through anime tie-ins, with tracks written for series soundtracks pushing them far outside the Japanese hip-hop audience. "Bling-Bang-Bang-Born" in particular travelled internationally on the back of a dance trend. Live, the two work as a conventional MC-and-DJ setup, with Matsunaga's cutting a feature rather than a backdrop.
