Jay Worthy & MadeInTYO Release First Joint Album, “Time After Time”

by

Rapper Jay Worthy and singer MadeInTYO came together to release a new joint album. Time After Time is their first collaborative effort. It comes as Jay Worthy’s third album of 2024, and MadeInTYO’s second. The album is in line with the music Worthy typically makes, with sparse, vibe-heavy production. For those who are only familiar with MadeInTYO for his viral track “Uber Everywhere,” it may be a surprise to hear him rap over production like this. However, he has embraced the sound in recent years and has found a pocket that works for him. The two have some real chemistry on this album, and keep it just brief enough for fans to want to hear another release from the two in the future.

As far as the content of the album is concerned, Jay Worthy and MadeinTYO find themselves waxing poetic about street life, boasting about their success, and showing appreciation for their lives. The album works in contrast to Worthy’s previous release Magic Hour, an out-and-out G-Funk album. However, it is not dissimilar to other music in his discography, particularly his releases with Sean House as part of LNDN DRGS. MadeInTYO’s TYO 808, an album he produced himself and released earlier this year, leaned closer to the sound of their joint release. A spacy, woozy, almost cloud rap-like approach. Worthy is a prolific artist, and this is the latest in what has been a highly successful year for the Canadian rapper. If you listen to this and want to hear more MadeinTYO production, we’d recommend Ransom’s SMOKE & MIRRORS EP. Stream this new release now.

Jay Worthy & MadeinTYO Get Wavy & Woozy On New Single “Nino”: Stream

by

Jay Worthy and MadeinTYO have shared another taste of their upcoming EP, which they both rap on and which TYO produced. After the single “Master Delux,” they returned with a gorgeous, luxurious, and focused new offering, “Nino.” It’s a short minute-and-a-half, but it packs in plenty of compelling lyricism and captivating instrumental moments. Most importantly, it really values quality over quantity, as the loop and sonic pallet here is so engrossing that it leaves you wanting more.

As far as the content, Jay Worthy and MadeinTYO mostly keep things street, boastful, and appreciative. It’s certainly a fitting approach for this production, which is bolstered by woodwinds, chimes, strings, and some subtle hand percussion. It’s a bit of a contrast to Jay’s recent G-funk-centric Magic Hour, whereas the variety found in Made’s TYO 808 hinted toward this approach along with many other styles. All of that’s to say that there are plenty of amazing signs pointing to this EP’s potential greatness, so we’re very excited to spin it whenever it drops.

Elsewhere, if you’re looking for more MadeinTYO production, we’d recommend you check out Ransom’s SMOKE & MIRRORS EP. If you haven’t heard his and Jay Worthy’s “Nino” yet, find it on your preferred streaming service or check in out on YouTube below. Down there, you can also find some standout bars as well as the comments section for you to leave your thoughts on the record. As always, check back in with HNHH for more killer hip-hop drops around the clock.

It’s lit, album done with DJ Quik,

Jay Worthy & MadeinTYO Preview Their Upcoming EP With “Master Delux”

by

Jay Worthy and MadeinTYO have a joint effort on the way soon and they are kicking things off with “Master Delux”. This is the lead single from an upcoming EP that you wouldn’t know about if not for some slightly deeper digging. The underground California MC announced that “Master Delux” was out yesterday on his Instagram, and in the comments was the Hawaiian-born multi-hyphenate spilling some tea. “I’m ready for this EP, thanks for letting me rap & make the beats 🙏🏾😤✔”. If you haven’t been keeping up with MadeinTYO as of late, you may want to. If his “Uber Everywhere” era was something that you weren’t rocking with because it was too mainstream, his recent material might be for you.

He’s been on quite the torrent stretch in terms of producing some jazzier and drum-less beats for some of the underground’s best. For example, just over a month ago, MadeinTYO connected with New York’s Ransom for a mini three-track EP, SMOKE & MIRRORS. While obviously robust in terms of length, the minimalist instrumentals from MadeinTYO made room for some excellent performances from Ransom. Overall, we are saying that he can bring out some quality material from other artists. With Jay Worthy being on a solid run himself, it makes sense that these two are linking up. We don’t have any other information in regard to when their collaborative EP will drop, nor the title, tracklist, and cover art. What we can pretty safely say though is that Jay and TYO will deliver tenfold together. The production on “Master Delux” is almost nonexistent. However, it’s really beautiful and delicate on the ears. They also display chemistry on the mic, making for a complete listen.

Ransom Snags MadeinTYO To Produce His 3-Track EP “SMOKE & MIRRORS”

by

Prolific underground New Jersey rapper Ransom has worked with plenty of talented producers before, but MadeinTYO might be the most interesting one of them all. While the latter was never a massive mainstream figure, the Honolulu, Hawaii born was closer to that mark than Ransom has ever been. The Atlanta based MC is known for breaking into stardom with songs like “Uber Everywhere”, “Skateboard P”, and “I Want”. All of these are far cries from the grittiness of the East Coast underground scene. So, when this surprise EP, SMOKE & MIRRORS, was announced just a couple of days ago, seeing MadeinTYO was a surprise. For those who have been following Ransom, you know that this is the second project for him this year. Beforehand, him and Harry Fraud teamed up for Lavish Misery.

That EP is longer than SMOKE & MIRRORS by five songs, so there is already a smaller margin for error on that factor alone. However, Ransom and MadeinTYO make the most of the 8:53 they share. The opening “SMOKING MIRRORS” is a smooth and chill introduction, with a peaceful guitar loop being the track’s backbone. Narratively, Ransom looks back at his past decisions in his life that have shaped him. “ANTEBELLUM” with Che Noir is a soulful cut about the give and take in relationships with her and Ransom rapping from their gender perspectives. To close things out is “HUMAN NATURE”, which arguably is MadeinTYO’s best beat here. Twinkling piano melodies along with dreamy and soft tones are an incredible marriage on this introspective cut. Overall, this is a terrific short body of work with incredible replay value.

MadeinTYO Slows Things Down On “TYO 808”

by

It feels like MadeinTYO was someone who was known for his idiosyncratic bangers. The multi-cultural rapper and singer really burst onto the scene with his viral hit “Uber Everywhere.” It got so popular, that he recruited Travis Scott for an equally fire remix. But, it seems that MadeinTYO is looking to move over into another lane on the bustling musical freeway.

His 2023 record NEO TYO still had some more trappy-sounding instrumentals. But, the songs came across as more low-key than normal. Maybe he was trying to tell the fans something because TYO 808 is a full dive into more R&B/soul cuts. The Hawaii-born artist is bringing 18-tracks with features from singers such as BJ The Chicago Kid, Peyton, his older brother, 24HRs, among others.

Even the album as a whole sounds quite different from his older material, MadeinTYO maintains his personality. The production choices accencuate the listening experience in a very good way. It is mellow, serene, and frankly beautiful at times. Casual fans of MadeinTYO may not like this change, but this is a great change of pace for him. If you need something to vibe and chill out to, this is the record for you.

MadeinTYO Returns With “Thinking To Myself” Single Ahead Of New Project

by

Countless new singles rolled into our inboxes this week, but one that really stands out is MadeinTYO’s “Thinking to Myself.” The new song specifically finds the 30-year-old reflecting on his aspirations of heading back to his former home of Tokyo, Japan.

In the accompanying music video, we see the rapper make his return to the foreign country. As a press release notes, at the time of its filming, he was the second U.S.-based artist to travel to Japan post-COVID.

Interestingly, the visual also stars IMMA – a well-known virtual social media model from Tokyo.

“Maybe I should slow down / The same ones that hated, see my shit turned around,” MadeinTYO reflects throughout his first few bars. “They told me that my shit was watered down / A couple plaques years later, man, look at me now.”

As the brief song comes to an end he adds, “I just wanna take a flight to Japan and never come back / Quit all this rap. I guess they want that old thing back.”

Just last month, we heard from the “Skateboard P” hitmaker on his four-track 24HRS In TOKYO EP. Prior to that, he linked up with Jay Worthy and Harry Fraud on “Earth Sky.”

At this time, specific details remain sparse, but we do know that the Hawaii native is gearing up to release a new project in the near future. His last full-length offering arrived back in 2021 in the form of Yokohama with UnoTheActivist.

The two stars teamed up with other artists like MDMA and KA$HDAMI for titles like “Ghostrider” and “Plug.”

Stream MadeinTYO’s “Thinking to Myself” on Spotify or Apple Music below. Afterward, let us know what your thoughts on the new single are down in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics:

It’ll never really work
If you ain’t got trust
How you stressed out girl, and you got us
You got bread, you got crust
Never bum down bi’. I’m piped up
