Great review & Feedback from Independent Music News-24 for Gan Gan.

In the international Hip-Hop scene, it’s not every day that we encounter a debut single as rich, genre-defying, and sonically resonant as “Gan Gan.” This trailblazing track serves as the introduction to the artistic journey of Japanese rapper Lion Arkroyal, a dynamic force poised to transcend geographical borders, musical genres, and time periods. Hailing from the UK but shaped by the vibrant hip-hop culture of Nagoya, Japan, Lion Arkroyal is a testament to the universality of music, and “Gan Gan” is the portal through which he invites us into his world.

Lion Arkroyal’s musical DNA, deeply ingrained in the illustrious 1990s New York hip-hop tradition and the resounding echoes of the Boom Bap era, provides a strong foundation for the sonic landscape of “Gan Gan.” The essence of New York’s hip-hop greats can be felt pulsating through this debut single, yet Lion Arkroyal manages to transcend the constraints of mere homage, emerging as a distinctive voice in the contemporary hip-hop spectrum.

One of the pillars that supports “Gan Gan’s” grandeur is the remarkable production by none other than The Love Theme, also known as Dominic Owen. A name synonymous with hip-hop royalty, having worked with luminaries such as The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Rakim, and Lil Kim, Dominic Owen brings an unparalleled level of expertise to the project. His meticulous craftsmanship elevates the single to a level of sonic sophistication that’s rarely encountered in contemporary music.

The instant you press play on “Gan Gan,” you’re enveloped in a sonic world that feels lush and cinematic. Dominic Owen’s production is nothing short of awe-inspiring, as he masterfully weaves together elements that paint a vivid auditory tapestry.

We had a great time in Porto earlier this year working on some new music. Taken from those sessions, our Lo-Fi remix of “I Need You Tonight” is out later this month.
