“Time is a Thief is a compilation of new generation beatmakers presented by EN TOKYO. As in Japanese, the word “EN” means connection, relation and friendship. These artists from around the world were gathered by connection through each Japanese beatmaker on this album. The artwork for the album illustrated by Steven Van Lummel, a visual artist from Holland. When Australian beatmaker mgkrp visited Japan; he, Bugseed, Lidly, %C and Pigeondust played a beat session at an art gallery’s opening party for Steven Van Lummel’s art exhibition in Tokyo. You could find amazing talent in the Japanese underground hip hop scene and too through their connection with their fellow beatmakers around the world.” – EN Tokyo Time is a Thief by EN Tokyo
