PROFILE

“136 young boss” is a hip-hop artist from Joyo, Kyoto — up in the hills. Deep loyalty to his home town and his crew, a sense of duty, and an awkward honesty, all put into plain words: the “otokogi” rap style.

Born in 1994.
Started out around 2012 with the crew BARK BROZ, formed with rappers from his home town.
Later changed his name from “136” to “136youngboss” and moved into working solo.
The name carries a clear intent: to stand as a boss figure for a younger
generation, and to be felt in the hip-hop scene.

His work includes “Irezumi Aikoka”, dedicated to traditional Japanese tattoo culture, and “Wakadaishō”, about his own roots and resolve.
A style that puts an unbroken spirit and a real life on the street into the record, and that is what listeners answer to.
