Gipper - GipFile

Review by 6 Degrees FX

GipFile by Gipper: A Hidden Gem in Japanese Hip-Hop Released in 2010 under the KSR label, GipFile by Gipper is an intriguing blend of G-Funk-infused Hip-Hop and Rap that offers a refreshing take on the genre. While Japan might not be the first country you associate with G-Funk, this album proves that borders can't confine good music. Produced by a talented lineup—Fuekiss!!, Ohld, SirNoise, and Sugaya Bros.—the project showcases a mix of laid-back grooves and sharp lyricism that stays true to its West Coast roots while adding a distinct Japanese twist. One standout track is "Get Down!! (feat. NORA)." Right from the opening beat, it grabs your attention with its smooth bassline and infectious energy. NORA's vocals add a layer of charisma, making it impossible not to nod along. Fuekiss!! clearly knew what they were doing here—the production feels polished yet raw enough to keep things authentic. This song sticks because it’s one of those rare tracks that works just as well at a party as it does during a late-night drive. It’s hard to forget how effortlessly cool it sounds. Another memorable moment comes from "Bong 9 Bomb (feat. KOZ, 大地)." The collaboration between KOZ and 大地 brings a dynamic edge to the track, blending their unique flows over Ohld’s atmospheric production. There’s something hypnotic about the way the synths swirl around the beat, creating a vibe that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Tracks like this remind you why G-Funk has such staying power—it’s all about creating a mood, and this song nails it. The album isn’t without its quirks, though. Some listeners might find the remixes and reprises (like the two versions of "I Wanna Be A Rapsta") a bit redundant, but they do add variety to the overall flow. And let’s be real, who wouldn’t want more of SirNoise’s slick touch on "Unchain" or Sugaya Bros.' funky magic in "Maguro"? What makes GipFile special is how unapologetically itself it is. It doesn’t try too hard to fit into any global trends; instead, it embraces its local flavor while paying homage to classic G-Funk aesthetics. Listening to it feels like discovering a secret club where everyone knows the password except you—until now. In a world obsessed with overnight hits, GipFile reminds us that great albums don’t always scream for attention. Sometimes, they quietly sit there, waiting for the right ears to appreciate them. If anything, this record leaves you wondering why we don’t hear more Japanese G-Funk in mainstream playlists. Maybe it’s time we started.
