Blending the roots of hip-hop with a live performance ethos, this 2-track single arrives as a strong statement.Side A features a bold reinterpretation of 'Today,' the classic composed by Tom Scott that shines brightly in hip-hop history, with 45trio's SWING-O as a guest. Reconstructed around Da-Dee-Mix's groove where jazz, soul, and hip-hop intersect, this is more than just a cover-it offers a new interpretation for today's listeners. SWING-O's electric piano and the live ensemble elevate the warmth and strength of the original into something fresh and powerful.Side B presents the long-awaited analog release of 'INCENSE,' their collaboration with Yokohama-based rapper Cool. Originally released digitally in 2020, the track's melodic flow and unique musical sensibility captivated many listeners, sparking ongoing requests for a vinyl edition. Over Da-Dee-Mix's supple yet solid track, Cool's words drift like incense, perfectly embodying the title and leaving a lasting impression.With both sides delivering standout performances, this is a must-have double-sider. Da-Dee-Mix's 'hip-hop played live' is essential listening!Tracklist:Side A: TODAY feat. SWING-O (45trio)Side B: INCENSE feat. Cool
