ralph is an active rapper and Mall Boyz member who won RAPSTAR TANJO 2020 and has released collaborative tracks with VERRY SMoL and with JUMADIBA in 2026.
ralph first appears in Yomimono coverage as a winner of RAPSTAR TANJO 2020, the earlier audition in the same lineage as RAPSTAR. By May 2026, he is an established rapper collaborating with VERRY SMoL, a teenage finalist from RAPSTAR 2025. Their track 'concrete camo', produced by Double Clapperz, was first performed at the POP YOURS hip-hop festival and samples classic R&B.
In June 2026, ralph appears as a featured artist on the Mall Boyz single 'MUTANT NINJA TURTLES feat. ralph, JUMADIBA', released on June 3. The track is inspired by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles manga, and the jacket art shows turtles with headbands incorporating features of Tohji, gummyboy, ralph, and JUMADIBA. Mall Boyz also announced 'Mall Tape 3' for May 2026, though the single is distinct from that tape.
The most recent story, from August 2026, places ralph within the broader RAPSTAR ecosystem: the 2026 season drew 12,953 applicants, the highest ever, nearly double the previous year's 6,780, with a raised prize of 10 million yen. The coverage positions ralph as a figure who moved from winning an earlier RAPSTAR audition to collaborating with both a rising finalist and his own crew members, all within the same hip-hop scene the show feeds.
