A producer/rapper/DJ, Unagi has been making music since the 90s, when he first hit the scene with his crew Discs of Tron.

Based in San Francisco for more than a decade, he performed regularly around The City while steadily putting out new music on his label 442 Records. He collaborated with a wide range of underground MCs, including Motion Man, King Cesar (Monsta Island Czars), Infinito 2017, Eddie Meeks, and Kero One.

Over the years, many styles have come and gone. The shiny suit era led to the indie explosion, Eminem & 50 Cent ran things for a while, hyphy was huge for a minute, then crunk was king, followed by emo, drill, trap, mumble rap, lo-fi, ratchet, etc.

Throughout all the trends and sub-genres, Unagi never changed his vibe.

Obscure vinyl samples, live drum machines, neck-snapping breakbeats, and freaky synths are still his stock in trade. Lyrically, he's all about the storytelling, dropping nostalgic, autobiographical rhymes sprinkled with humor and plenty of old school references.

Now back in small town Massachusetts, Unagi is still getting busy, still making records, and still rocking stages. With an energetic live show that includes a real DJ and immersive multimedia video projections, his set is both a trip down memory lane and proof that modern-day hip-hop can still be fun and funky.

If you're an OG head who loves rap music but misses the classic style, or a younger cat with an appreciation of the golden era, Unagi has just what you need.

Good time music for a crazy world.
