Mall Boyz's Mall Tape 3 is out now as a 19-track album, and a remix contest around it runs through September 24 ahead of Tohji's last live at Tokyo Dome on November 17.
Mall Tape 3 is the first full-length album from Mall Boyz, the unit formed by rappers Tohji and gummyboy. It arrived on June 10 with 19 tracks, following the 2018 EP Mall Tape and the 2023 EP Mall Tape 2. Guest appearances include Elle Teresa and kZm, with production from Chaki Zulu and others. The album landed as Tohji had announced his retirement from artistic activities by 2026, which frames the record as a summary of the duo's run to this point.
Three months later, Mall Tape 3 became the center of a fan-participation project rather than a static release. Tohji opened #MallTapeRemixZone, a remix contest that hands out vocal data for free and asks applicants to upload their mixes to YouTube or SoundCloud, then post on X with the hashtag. The deadline is September 24. Tohji and Mall Boyz pick the winners.
The contest has a concrete destination. Winning remixes are collected into a remix album and used as background music at Tohji's last live at Tokyo Dome on November 17. Between the album's release and the contest deadline, the story has moved from a completed record to an open call around it. What is settled is the album itself, its track count, its guest and production credits, and the November 17 Tokyo Dome date. What remains open is who ends up on the remix album.
