C.r.e.a.m. Team Records is a 90's hip-hop-themed label executive produced by DJ MITSU THE BEATS. For this third release, the label has invited Frank Nitt (hereafter referred to as "Frank") and Guilty Simpson (hereafter referred to as "Guilty"), both from Detroit, as its first guests from overseas. The song "M.O.V.E." was completed by the three strongest tag-team members.
Frank, known for his work as hip-hop duo Frank N Dank, and Guilty, a solo artist on the other hand, are not only from Detroit, but also have a strong connection to legendary producer J Dilla. If you are a core hip-hop fan, you may know that they are not only from Detroit, but also have a close connection with legendary producer J Dilla. Frank first met J Dilla when he was only 12 years old (note: J Dilla was one of Frank Nitt's sons). Frank first met J Dilla when he was only 12 years old (note: J Dilla was one year older than Frank Nitt), and J Dilla was the godfather of the group name Frank N Dank.

He was already known among hip-hop fans as a producer while working under the name Jay Dee, and he released his first album "Welcome 2 Detroit" under his own name (=Jay Dee aka J Dilla) in 2001, on the track "Pause". Frank N Dank participated in the album as a guest. Frank N Dank was also featured on "McNasty Filth," one of the main tracks on the 2003 album "Champion Sound" by Jaylib, a unit of J Dilla and LA producer Madlib.
Like Frank N Dank, Guilty was also featured on Jaylib's "Champion Sound," and his participation on the song "Strapped" was one of the first in his career as a rapper. Guilty then went on to participate in the albums "The Shining" and "Ruff Draft," which were released after J Dilla's death, and he became known as one of Detroit's hottest rappers, finally releasing his first album "Ode To The Ghetto" on Stones Throw in 2008. In 2008, he finally released his first album "Ode To The Ghetto" from Stones Throw. Naturally, the album also includes a song produced by J Dilla ("I Must Love You").
Incidentally, Guilty and Madlib teamed up to release "OJ Simpson" on Stones Throw in 2010, and Frank guested on the song "Scratch Warning" on this album.
DJ MITSU THE BEATS, who learned of Frank and Guilty as a result of J Dilla, a producer he admires, and who is also a pure fan of the two rappers, had a bit of a relationship with them prior to this collaboration.
As for Frank, on the other hand, he has already collaborated with him on songs as a producer.
THE FACT THAT A SONG BY DJ MITSU THE BEATS BECAME THE TITLE TRACK OF THE ALBUM IS PROOF THAT THEY LIKED DJ MITSU THE BEATS' BEATS THAT MUCH. THE CONNECTION THAT WAS MADE BETWEEN THE TWO ARTISTS AT THIS TIME LED TO THIS COLLABORATION AS WELL.
One listen to "M.O.V.E." and one thinks that even though the three of them were in a sense connected by the person of J Dilla, the texture of the song is of a different type than that.
The lively, live beat, while created by sampling, is probably the main attraction of this song.
The first verse was rapped by Frank and the second by Guilty, and the title "M.O.V.E." was the key to the song. The two freestyled on the rhymes, moving forward in a speedy and thrilling manner.
DJ MITSU THE BEATS ALSO FEELS A STRONG SENSE OF "DETROIT" IN THE RAP MUSIC OF THESE TWO.
M.O.V.E." WAS BORN FROM THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO CITIES OF SENDAI AND DETROIT. THE GROOVE OF THIS SONG SEEMS TO BE CONTAINED IN THE FACT THAT THEY ARE NOT FROM CITIES SUCH AS TOKYO, NEW YORK, OR LOS ANGELES. I ALSO HOPE THAT THIS SONG WILL LEAD TO MORE CROSS-BORDER COLLABORATIONS BETWEEN DJ MITSU THE BEATS, EITHER WITH THE TWO OF THEM OR WITH OTHER ARTISTS AS WELL.
