Rapper ACE COOL released his third album, Haigamine, on Wednesday, September 16, about two years after his previous album. The nine-track record is named after Mt. Haigamine, which overlooks his hometown of Kure, Hiroshima Prefecture, and is the first to use a place name from Kure in its title. Guests include Jinmenusagi, Bonbero, Siero, BFN TOKYOTRILL, and JC.
ACE COOL's third album, Haigamine, arrived on Wednesday, September 16, roughly two years after his previous full-length. The nine tracks are named for Mt. Haigamine, the peak that overlooks Kure, Hiroshima Prefecture, where the rapper is from, and the title is the first he has taken from a place in Kure.
Where the two earlier albums were built around concepts, this one leans on the strength of individual songs, held together by rhyme and improvisation. Production comes from Nosh, C.O.S.A., ineedmorebux, ascii, and RUI HAYAKAWA, with OzzyOtaki recording and mixing every track and Mike Bozzi mastering.
