Japanese fashion designer, disc jockey (DJ), record producer and entrepreneur Nigo have recruited American rapper and record executive Pusha T for his new single, “Hear Me Clearly.”
Nigo is best known as the creator of the urban clothing line A Bathing Ape (Bape) and currently serves as creative director for Kenzo.
Nigo has been associated with popular rap and hip hop artists such as Kanye West and Pharrell Williams. He is the DJ of the Japanese hip hop group Teriyaki Boyz and is also owner of Bape Sounds record label. He also has an MTV Japan show which he created called Nigoldeneye.
Together with BiS manager Watanabe Junnosuke, Nigo is the producer and manager for the female pop group Billie Idle. His involvement with the group began in 2014, when he directed a music video for BiS’ song “Nerve”, and after the group disbanded, Nigo and Watanabe offered BiS members First Summer Uika and Hirano Nozomi the chance to join their new project, Billie Idle. The group debuted in 2014 with the album “Idle Gossip”, for which Nigo is the executive producer.
On 28 January 2022, Nigo and ASAP Rocky released the song “Arya”, serving as the lead single for Nigo’s upcoming album, I Know Nigo, due 25 March via Victor Victor Worldwide and Republic Records.
“I Know Nigo” will mark Nigo’s first solo album since 2005’s Nigo Presents: Return of the Ape Sounds. I Know Nigo was co-executive produced by Nigo alongside Pharrell Williams.
Williams and Nigo had first collaborated nearly two decades earlier, when the Neptunes contributed production to Beef or Chicken. The album’s second single, titled “Want It Bad”, was released in collaboration with American musician Kid Cudi.
