Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Famous Thai singer STAMP (official Facebook page) has teamed up with rapper SKY-HI for a Japanese version of his song "Jailhouse Rap" (original sung in Thai). This is the 2nd collaboration of the two, following a song by SKY-HI that featured STAMP, "Don't Worry Baby Be Happy" (YouTube) released in January.

STAMP comment:
"This song was originally released in Thai and it's one of my favorite songs. When I first heard SKY-HI's voice, I knew I'd found the perfect person to work with for the Japanese version of this song. I sent the Thai version to SKY-HI and asked him to rap to the beat - but when I heard his wild rap, I felt I needed to make a heavier arrangement. So this version turned out to be even more forceful."

SKY-HI comment:
"The original song was the reason I came to know STAMP. When I heard the song for the first time, I remember being shocked and thinking, 'Oh, there's actually a song with this kind of groove in Asia!' I was thrilled to work on that song! The fact is stranger than fiction...I am so proud to have collaborated on this song. Fortunately, we were able to record this song together in the studio last year, and perhaps contrasting with the message of the song, the vibes in the studio were very happy and we had a great time. Let's sing together again soon! I LOVE YOU STAMP!!!"

STAMP has previously collaborated with YMCK and P.O.P. (music video), and also made an appearance on P.O.P.'s album "okaasan ni kiite minai to wakaranai" (2015).
