Awich has connected with A$AP Ferg for a new RZA-produced track, called "Butcher Shop". Awich, whose moniker is short for "Asia Wish Child", was born on the island of Okinawa and grew up between Atlanta and Tokyo. Penning lyrics in Japanese, Okinawan, and English, the multi-lingual artist first broke onto the scene with her debut EP Inner Research and her album Asia Wish Child, going on to make a wide-ranging impact in Japanese hip-hop and beyond. For her newest track, she connects with New York-born heavyweight A$AP Ferg and Wu-Tang Clan legend RZA for a raw, expressive track that merges influences from Awich's international upbringing, featuring booming, infectious production and razor sharp flows.
"Butcher Shop" is gritty, yet sleek, with an invigorating soundscape from RZA consisting of bristling synths, engaging keys, and a gripping rhythm section. Awich and A$AP Ferg trade cutting, intense flows with a captivating sense of urgency, building dynamic lines into a catchy, melodic hook that contrasts with the powerful verses. An eclectic track that draws influence from both Japanese and New York hip-hop, "Butcher Shop" presents a high-octane collaboration that grabs the listener's attention from the beginning and refuses to let go.
The potent "Butcher Shop" arrives ahead of the collaborative album between Awich and the legendary RZA, and it presents a hard-hitting, exhilarating taste of what's to come.
