Rip Slyme

RIP SLYME is a Japanese hip hop group made up of four MCs—Ryo-Z, Ilmari, Pes, and Su—plus DJ Fumiya. The crew's sound pulls heavily from old school hip hop, drawing inspiration from acts like The Pharcyde, De La Soul, Public Enemy, Jurassic 5, the Beastie Boys, DJ Premier, and Leaders of the New School. That blend of influences shapes their whole approach to the music.
