The LiFTED 50 Number 2: Yuki Chiba

‘Annyeonghaseyo’: Say hello to the Korea-Japan connection with Lil Moshpit

In 2021, the moniker KOHH was retired and then there was a hiatus before Yuki Chiba came roaring back into Japan’s public consciousness as his birth name. The release of ‘Team Tomodochi’ in 2024 changed everything. Soon Rap crews were making their own remixes, and massive international artists like Megan Thee Stallion were calling about getting verses on ‘Mamushi.’

Yuki’s second coming could have been a flash in the pan, but instead he’s been on the streets and working it. Five months ago, he teamed up with Lil Moshpit for ‘Annyeonghaseyo,’ another call and response record that is the biggest inter-Asia collab since Awich’s ‘Asia State of Mind.’ Besides beats from K-Hop’s biggest producer, Yuki got Sik-K, Jay Park, Blase, and LNGSHOT all on the remixes to say hello.

That would be enough, but Yuki apparently doesn’t sleep. He recently made a song with Big Sean [‘Ski Ga Sk’] as well as Columbia’s second biggest export, Feid [‘Medellín Takai.’] When he’s not in the studio, Yuki has been putting on spectacular shows in front of nice-sized North American and European audiences.
