This album is a dialogue between crossriver and I. (Monologue?)

At some points in my life, I wasn’t happy with the project but I often saw value in it. It is a celebration of the joy hip hop has brought into my life and it’s also a tribute back to the culture that I love. Finding the balance between traditional and abstract, the middle ground between the pristine and the tarnished, expressions of turbulence and tranquility, this is half.

🇨🇦のビートメーカーcrossriverの2nd beattape “half”がBLACK URBAN TAPESから12月16日（sat）にリリースされる。同日にCORNER PRINTING SELF戸田公園の2F / CORNER BOOKSで行われる「Beat Year end party」でのビートライブの出演も決まっています。

このアルバムはcrossriver自身との対話がテーマとなっています。

人生のある時期、このアルバムについて満足していなかった。時間が経つにつれてその価値を見出した。ヒップホップがcrossriverの人生にもたらした喜びを祝うアルバムであり、愛する文化への賛辞でもある。伝統的なものと抽象的なもの、美と汚れの中間、乱気流と静寂の表現、そのバランスを垣間見るcrossriverの独特なリズムとスピリチュアルさは、前作同様に引き継がれている🌙

今作ではフィールドレコーディングの生暖かさと、ジャジーな夜のストリートマインド、日々の風景と生活の集大成で、飽和したサウンドと巧妙にスイングするドラムも聴きどころ🌃夜明けを待ちながら、クールアウトする夜に再生ボタンを押してほしい。
