MadeInTYO Is A Cyberpunk Hero In His Anime-Inspired ‘To The Moon/Throw It Back’ Video
TYO’s album ‘Never Forgotten’ is out now on Private Club. …
MadeInTYO’s latest video from his new album Never Forgotten gets super literal with its concept, dropping him on Luna’s surface to perform half the video while borrowing influences from Japanese pop culture in the other. The video’s first half is an Akira-inspired cyberpunk fantasy with TYO speeding through a futuristic cityscape on a sleek motorcycle and rapping while surrounded by iconic images like Takashi Murakami’s smiling flowers. The second half puts TYO on the moon, where he raps with Earth in the background.
MadeInTYO made his return to the spotlight earlier this year after a two-year hiatus in the wake of his 2018 album Sincerely, Tokyo. While he made appearances in 2019 with ASAP Ferg on “Wam” and Chance The Rapper and DaBaby on “Hot Shower,” in 2020, he got back to work in earnest. First he appeared with Ferg once again on “Move Ya Hips” featuring Nicki Minaj, then he reunited with Chance on “BET Uncut,” which also featured Smino. His efforts culminated in the release of his second album, Never Forgotten, which released on October 30 and featured appearances from Cam’ron, Chynna, J Balvin, Toro Y Moi, Wiz Khalifa, and Young Nudy.
Watch the “To The Moon/Throw It Back” video above.

Dirty Hands Nation sings don’t follow blindly, do your research with latest release “Due Deligence”
Dirty Hands Nation comes out swinging with a strong message on “Due Diligence,” a daring single that harnesses frustration, awareness, and determination in a bold musical statement. It is more than a song; it is a call to question narratives, challenge assumptions, and think critically about the systems that shape everyday life.
“Due Diligence” is a phrase that encapsulates a philosophy that you should only stand up for what matters after consideration and research. The track itself is guided by the title in its entirety. Dirty Hands Nation emphasizes that conviction is not about going along with the crowd, and encourages its audience to dig deeper into matters before deciding.
Where the song works best is in its direct engagement with politics and economics. It raises questions of war, government spending, inflation, corporate power, health care, and the financial burden on regular people. The track talks about these issues, not as abstract ideas, but from the point of view of regular people who are most affected by these decisions.
Dirty Hands Nation delivers a passionate, thought-provoking release with purpose and conviction in “Due Diligence.” It’s a track that’s meant to spark conversation, challenge complacency, and remind us that opinions of consequence are built on inquiry, understanding, and due diligence.

This song is filled with rap lines that display both ambition and personality, and it sounds like a proclamation from an artist who is eager to leave his mark.

Another good line is “who’s to say what’s the right way to say anything when music goes over your head like say anything,” which shows the creative thinking behind the writing. It demonstrates Red Eye Wright’s love of playing with language, challenging expectations, and generating moments that reward the attentive listener.
Red Eye Wright delivers a statement piece in “Alicia Keynote” that’s packed with memorable bars, distinctive vocal character, and unrelenting ambition. It’s the sound of an artist introducing himself with conviction, and keeping his name in the conversation.
