introduction
C.r.e.a.m. Team Records is a label with a 90s hip-hop theme, executive produced by DJ MITSU THE BEATS. Previously, they released singles produced by DJ MITSU THE BEATS himself, featuring Shing02 and KOHEI JAPAN respectively. For their third release, this time they have brought in their first overseas guests, Frank Nitt (hereinafter referred to as Frank) and Guilty Simpson (hereinafter referred to as Guilty), both hailing from Detroit. The song "M.O.V.E." has been completed through the collaboration of these three powerful artists.
liner notes
Frank, also known for his work as part of the hip-hop duo Frank N Dank, and Guilty, who is active as a solo artist, not only hail from the same city of Detroit but also share a deep connection with the legendary producer J Dilla, as core hip-hop fans will know. J Dilla, also from Detroit, produced numerous hip-hop classics from the mid-90s to the 2000s before tragically passing away at the young age of 32 in 2006. Frank first met J Dilla when Frank himself was only 12 years old (Note: J Dilla was one year older than Frank Nitt), and J Dilla was also the one who named the group Frank N Dank.

STREET CONTEXT ARCHIVE
The street's passionate energy, continuing since the 90s. Music, fashion, and art. Pure expressions born in different fields, Reconstruct under a single "context" and connect to the next generation. This is a quiet record of respect for the culture we continue to protect.
#01 KREVA × ALMOSTBLACK
A one-of-a-kind piece featuring the first lyrics of their solo debut song "Neiro," meticulously embroidered. This hoodie, embodying an impressive career and unwavering aesthetic, is recorded as a tribute (respect) to the culture we continue to preserve. A testament to the "correct answer," where music and the streets are united by a single thread of embroidery. Here, as a non-degradable record, separated from the cycle of commercial consumption.
#02 Masato Yamaguchi / Stencil Object #011
The inorganic gaze that spins beats, "LUNA," created by artist Masato Yamaguchi. Beneath this already completed portrait, sticker art of 90s hip-hop legends, the spray-painted noise inscribed with "I Miss 90s HIPHOP," and the label logo collide, elevating a single piece of art to an even higher level. Spray splatters and the artist's breath dwelling in a unique texture reminiscent of urban fragments. A record of "growing art" that deepens in value over time, beginning the moment it is completed.
#03 DJ MASTERKEY / SP-1200
In the late 1980s, a single Japanese individual acquired a 12-bit sampler in New York. This very unit, actually used by DJ MASTERKEY, who would later etch his name into the golden age of Japanese hip-hop as a DJ for Buddha Brand, has now been added to the C.r.e.a.m. Team Records archives. The countless stickers layered on its casing and the worn trigger buttons speak of its journey from New York to Tokyo, a memory passed from one hand to another.
#04 Wu-Tang Clan / 36 Chambers to Final Chamber
In 1993, a decree was issued by nine individuals from Staten Island. Centered around a promotional record that never hit the market, 35 years of history, from the setbacks of Prince Rakeem's era to the Japan tour “THE FINAL CHAMBER,” have been gathered in the archives of C.r.e.a.m. Team Records. The master recordings, frozen in time unopened, speak of the label's very philosophy: preserving "moments of victory" without ever breaking the seal.
STREET CONTEXT ARCHIVE
#03 DJ MASTERKEY / SP-1200
In the late 1980s, in New York, a Japanese individual acquired a 12-bit sampler, the E-mu Systems SP-1200. This very unit, later used by DJ MASTERKEY, who would go on to mark the golden age of Japanese hip-hop as a DJ for Buddha Brand, is now housed in this archive. The warm distortion born from 12-bit quantization, the scarcity of a 10-second sample time, the tenacity of the SSM2044 filter. The design constraints themselves became the contours of the golden age sound. The countless stickers layered on the casing and the worn trigger buttons tell the story of a single unit passed from hand to hand, from New York to Tokyo. The sound of the golden age was born within the constraints of the SP-1200. This layering is the fragment of our present that we must protect and record. As an indelible record, here in this place.

Cream Team Records New Series Launched
STREET CONTEXT ARCHIVE
An attempt to archive the only fragments of carved history.
STATEMENT
Bring the history etched on the streets into an immutable context.
“I miss 90’s hip hop”
Launched to reconstruct the enthusiasm of that era in the present day,
Participatory label "C.r.e.a.m. Team Records".
The aesthetic of "90s Hip Hop" that we love so dearly.
It's not just nostalgia for the past.
the real strata that flow at the root of all expressions,
This is the origin of the "sound" that we continue to pursue.
Music, fashion, art, and the equipment that has shaped their history.
The pure heat that is scattered throughout the scene,
Destined to dissipate over time, eventually forgotten.
That is why we are consolidating and archiving those fragments in this place.
The STREET CONTEXT ARCHIVE is,
the physical "entity" that is the fruit of a moment etched in history,
reconstructed under the single narrative (context) of the label,
This is an attempt to archive it as an art piece.
The realness of the streets that each individual pours into that moment,
As a record that will not deteriorate, in this place.
This is for the culture we love,
It is a silent expression of respect.
