BADSAIKUSH, a rapper with Nameradama, is the lead feature in two recent Japanese hip-hop magazine projects: the cover interview of the compilation BLUEPRINT THE RECORDS 001 and a long interview in THE CROWD's Japanese rap issue.
BADSAIKUSH has been the central figure in two consecutive print projects from Japanese hip-hop magazines. In June 2026, the compilation BLUEPRINT THE RECORDS 001 was announced, with BADSAIKUSH on the cover and a 20,000-character interview inside. The book reprints content from the magazine's first three issues, including interviews with Zeebra and SEEDA, and was set to release on July 7, 2026.
Two months later, THE CROWD, a magazine produced by music media ele-king, published its July 31 issue focused on Japanese rap in the 2020s. BADSAIKUSH received the lead long interview in that issue, alongside interviews with Reichi, OMG, YamieZimmer, Dekotoko., SpiderWeb, DJ YAS, and DJ Quietstorm. The issue also included a roundtable discussion and disc guide sections.
Across both stories, BADSAIKUSH is consistently positioned as a leading voice in the current Japanese rap scene, with his name attached to the most prominent interview slots in each publication. The stories do not detail his music, career history, or any releases of his own.
