ORR, 168 and Week Dudus are three artists from different parts of the world who unite via the power of music to form a formidable partnership that’s produced the thrilling collaborative track titled “危,” short for “危ない” which translates to ‘danger’ in Japanese. The group is spearheaded by ORR, the alias of a Moroccan artist who’s been making an impact in the underground scene with his unique songwriting style and sound that blends the dissonant with the infectious with Moroccan style melodies.
With plans to bring together more artists from around the world to expand the project, “危” represents the first product of this endeavour. Hailing from Mongolia, 168 arrives as another fiercely original act who’s become known as one of the most revered rapper on the rise in his country.
From Japan comes Dudus, another talented rapper who’s been making a lasting impact in the Japanese hip hop landscape. Armed with deep vocals, his music has been going viral, winning over listeners around the globe.
With “危,” the trio of artists serve up a cutting edge alternative hip hop cut produced by Stav Beger and ORR. Driven by stuttered rhythms, deep bass tones and slick synth shots, the track captures a dark and grooving sound. Opened by an unnerving buzz over the snapping beat, 168 threads processed rhythmic vocal stabs, joined by the intricate rattle of hi hats and peppered by backing vocals.
Week Dudus threads his deep, rich vocal flows, adding to the constantly shifting soundscape as it rolls through the moody scene. ORR enters with Arabic melodic flair, floating dynamic vocal leads that reflect the twists and turns of the music, closing out the intense and highly original experimental rap track.
Paired with the single is a music video directed by ORR, Aviv Nidam and Anand Ganzorig featuring a cast of Maaya The Bee, Marina Kuznetsova, CHIHO, Sunny Matsushita Priel Madar and Arina Pavlova. With the performers shots in black and white, they’re tracked dancing to the music cut with shots of the artists running through the track to craft a compelling visual accompaniment for “危.”
