Album Notes & Community Reviews

The second solo album by Japanese producer Uyama Hiroto was released on his own Roph Recordings label. Building on his signature sound, the album seamlessly blends instrumental hip-hop with live spiritual jazz elements, featuring saxophone, piano, and vibraphone. It's often seen as a continuation and evolution of the mellow, sample-based aesthetic he helped pioneer alongside Nujabes.
