Starting his career in Osaka in the early 2000s and building his profile as one of the Japanese reggae scene’s leading DeeJays, CHEHON will take the stage at Billboard Live Yokohama alongside Kansai’s own powerhouse reggae band BAGDAD RIDDIM SECTION. Relying on a unique flow built around “rhyming while telling stories,” CHEHON, who hit the title track of his debut EP Midori (2006), continued to rack up notable tunes even after his major-label debut in 2008, including the track “韻破句徒.”

At one point he based himself in Jamaica to gain experience in the homeland of reggae, further refining his impactful style. In recent years he has also appeared in rap battles, once again showcasing his high level of skill, and in 2021 released his first album in five years, THECULMINATION. A live video of “韻破句徒” in collaboration with BAGDAD RIDDIM SECTION posted on TikTok has drawn attention.

Kicking off the New Year in spectacular fashion in Osaka, he carries that momentum into the Yokohama show. This is sure to be a night filled with hot vibes.
