merging in the early 2000s and sparking the popularity of jazzy hip-hop with numerous hit releases, California-based rapper/DJ/producer Kero One is back with his long-awaited new album "Fuzzy Logic," his first in about nine years!

Similar to his previous work, "Reflection Eternal," released in 2015, this album is also released under his producer name, Kero Uno. Drawing inspiration from his recent travels in Asia, it features artists and vocalists from various regions and languages, including English, Chinese, and Korean. Centered around his signature jazzy lo-fi beats, the album incorporates elements of vintage soul, R&B, pop, progressive hip-hop, and electronic music, resulting in a catchy collection characteristic of Kero One.

The album includes numerous guest appearances, such as Ace Hashimoto on the pre-released track "Airplane Mode," along with Blu and Michael Blume (Whatever Mike), who also participated in his previous work.

Following the release of Ghibli Jazz and Ghibli Reggae comes a brand new compilation of Ghibli covers from underground hip-hop producer Grey October Sounds. Lofi Ghibli is the definitive Ghibli cover album - a 10-track record containing covers of Carrying You (Castle in the Sky), a Town with an Ocean View (Kiki’s Delivery Service), Yasashisa Ni Tsutsumareta Nara (Kiki’s Delivery Service), and other iconic Ghibli songs. Grey October Sounds’ deft production takes classic Ghibli melodies and melds them with hip-hop instrumentation, adding an all new dimension of chill to Joe Hisaishi’s compositions. With homages to both Ghibli and the aesthetics of lo-fi hip-hop, the artwork by illustrious illustrator Rika Nagatani is the cutest thing to ever grace P-VINE’s catalog! With one of our iconic obi-strips attached, this is sure to be one for the collectors! So put this on your turntable, take a deep breath, and chill out.
