Awich, the queen of Japanese hip-hop, is ready to make a massive global impact with her latest track, “Butcher Shop.” Featuring none other than NYC rap icon FERG, this release is a game-changer that is set to shake up the hip-hop scene in both Japan and the U.S. If you’re ready for a hard-hitting, borderless banger, this one’s for you. You can check it out here: Butcher Shop.
After taking over Asia with her hit track “ASIAN STATE OF MIND,” Awich is now setting her sights on the birthplace of hip-hop—the U.S. And what better way to make her mark than with a powerhouse collaboration featuring FERG and the legendary RZA, the mastermind behind Wu-Tang Clan’s iconic sound.
Produced by RZA himself, “Butcher Shop” fuses old-school hip-hop with international flair, creating a track that brings together different cultures, sounds, and stories. If you love a song that hits hard both lyrically and musically, this is it.
In her own words, Awich explains, “‘Butcher Shop’ is a place where three of my realities intersect—Okinawa, where I was born and raised; Tokyo, where I live now; and New York. With a legend like RZA and a street icon like FERG, we cut through the noise with sharp words and beats, capturing the spirit of this borderless era.”
Awich’s unique blend of Eastern and Western influences is on full display here. With FERG representing NYC street culture and RZA providing that signature Wu-Tang rawness, the track is a true crossroads between Japan, New York, luxury, play, sin, and consequence. It’s about truth, storytelling, and embracing the realities of life in a world where cultures and styles intersect.
This collaboration is not just a crossover; it’s a bold move that places Japanese hip-hop in the global spotlight. Awich is proving that hip-hop isn’t just an American thing—it’s a worldwide movement, and she’s leading the charge from Japan.
