Japanese hip-hop star Monyhorse is back with another heat-seeking missile, teaming up with fellow rap titan ¥ellow Bucks for their latest single “上” (Ue, meaning “Up” or “Above”). This slick collaboration isn’t just a flex—it’s a full-blown ascension, with both artists firing on all cylinders across a beat that’s as hypnotic as it is hard-hitting.
“上” delivers a lush, bass-heavy soundscape that blends icy trap rhythms with melodic synths and a booming low-end. Monyhorse opens with signature coolness—his laid-back delivery contrasting perfectly with his razor-sharp cadence. It’s introspective but still dripped out in luxury, a sound that balances hunger and success with effortless style.
Enter ¥ellow Bucks, who raises the energy even further. His verse is charismatic and confident, sliding into the beat like a boss. The chemistry between both rappers is undeniable, creating a track that feels more like a statement of dominance than a feature. These two aren’t just trying to rise—they’ve already made it, and now they’re letting the world know.
Lyrically, “上” speaks to growth, ambition, and rising through the chaos. It’s a celebration of self-worth, built on years of grind and late nights. Both artists reflect on where they came from while looking boldly toward the future. It’s chill, it’s motivational, and it hits in all the right places.
With “上,” Monyhorse continues to solidify his role as one of Japan’s most compelling voices in modern hip-hop. Paired with ¥ellow Bucks’ swagger and lyrical sharpness, this track is an instant repeat—perfect for night drives, solo wins, or chasing whatever’s next.
