History edit
Soul Scream were formed in 1994, consisting of rappers HAB I SCREAM, E.G.G.MAN and DJ CELORY. They released their debut album THE "DEEP" in 1996, featuring appearances from other hip hop acts Zeebra, K Dub Shine and Rhymester. The album is widely regarded as an essential album in the Japanese hip hop scene.[1] Their single Hachi to Chou (蜂と蝶), released in 2000 is also viewed as an all-time classic song in the genre.[2] They went on to release an EP titled TOu-KYOu in 1997 followed by two more albums, The Positive Gravity: ~案とヒント~ in 1999 and Future is Now in 2002. They then went on an 18-year hiatus while all pursuing solo careers until releasing the single Love, Peace & Happiness in 2020 followed by more singles over the years.[3] These include TOu-KYOu 2021 (2022), a revised version of their 1997 single of the same name, again featuring the likes of Zeebra, K Dub Shine and Rhymester, DNA (2022), and Boomerang (2023) featuring pop singer Pushim.[4]
