Sonsi is a rapper who gained attention on the audition program RAPSTAR 2025. He has since released a debut album and new music, with recent tracks produced or rearranged by STUTS.
Sonsi first drew notice on the audition show RAPSTAR 2025, where STUTS provided the beat for his breakthrough challenge. That connection carried into his debut album 'Nisemono', which includes the track 'Omoidoori'. The music video for that song, released in July 2026, was directed by Kazuki Ito and credits Koshy and STUTS as producers.
A month later, Sonsi and STUTS released a finished studio version of 'BBA Spice', a song Sonsi performed on RAPSTAR 2025. The new version includes a previously unheard second verse, and STUTS rearranged and mixed the track. The release is credited to Sonsi & STUTS.
In August 2026, ABEMA announced that RAPSTAR2026, the next season of the audition program, had drawn 12,953 applicants, the highest ever, nearly double the previous year's 6,780. The 2026 season premieres October 10 on ABEMA, with a prize of 10 million yen, up from 3 million. Seven producers provided beats for application videos. Sonsi's own path from RAPSTAR 2025 to released music shows the program's reach beyond the competition itself.
