Yuki Chiba Releases 17-Track Album En with Diplo and Juicy J
The record collects the collaborations Chiba built while working in the United States and South Korea since "Team Tomodachi," and packages them as one album rather than scattered singles.

Rapper Yuki Chiba released his 17-track album "◯" (read as en) on Friday, October 23. It includes "ArigaThanx" with Diplo, "Stanley Kubrick" featuring Juicy J, and "Annyeonghaseyo" with Lil Moshpit. Bb trickz, DRAM, and Maleigh Zan also appear. The jacket art is a single-stroke circle by graffiti artist TOMI-E, used as-is. The album also carries "Shinu ka Ikiru ka," the ending theme for the Steel Ball Run JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime.
The title carries more than one reading. Chiba's label copy gives "en" as both kyo (connections between people) and en (circulation or spread), which fits a track list assembled across several countries. The guest roster runs from Three 6 Mafia's Juicy J to Diplo to Bb trickz, DRAM, and Maleigh Zan. One track, "Shinu ka Ikiru ka," already has a job outside the album: it is the ending theme for the Steel Ball Run JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime. The jacket keeps TOMI-E's circle exactly as drawn, one stroke, no cleanup.
