“NICE TO KNEE YOU” Features Remarkable Collaborations and Careful Production
The album “NICE TO KNEE YOU” also stands out with its high-profile collaborations. Among the guest artists are frequent collaborators WILYWNKA and Kaneee, who recently released his debut album “Remember Me?“. Rappers 9for and Bank. Somsaart, hailing from SANTAWORLDVIEW’s hometown of Yokohama, also contributes their talent to this work. Long-time allies like YamieZimmer and renowned talents like STUTS and Taka Perry handle the album’s production. SANTAWORLDVIEW himself ventured into beat-making on the track “Arrivederci.”
SANTAWORLDVIEW Returns to the Roots of Rap
Unlike his previous album, “I’M THE ONE,” which featured melodic tracks, “NICE TO KNEE YOU” returns to the roots of rap. Every track on this album showcases SANTAWORLDVIEW’s rapping talent.

Kaneee“, “I Wish For U feat. Bank Somsaart“, and “Boys don’t cry“, which reveal a human sensitivity over softer rhythms.
