Hip-hop crew SOUL'd OUT released the digital-only album 'Hajimete no SOUL'd OUT' on Monday, August 3. The beginner-friendly album targets those who want to start listening to the group now. It includes 13 tracks led by 'Wekapipo,' which also gained attention as a commercial song.
SOUL'd OUT formed in 1999 and made their major debut in January 2003 with 'Wekapipo.' The group consists of main MC Diggy-MO', human beatbox and MC Bro.Hi, and trackmaker Shinnosuke. They disbanded in 2014 after Shinnosuke announced his departure.
Since then, their flow and sense of language have remained highly regarded mainly on the internet, and Diggy-MO's call of 'A Arararaa A Aa!' has been cherished as a meme. In 2026, an arranged version of 'Wekapipo' was adopted for a commercial for Lotte's chocolate snack Crunky.
