"DEIGO" talks about Okinawa, the homeland shared with OZworld, "Bloodshot" is a rap that mixes aggressive beats with JP THE WAVY’s slow and fast rhythms, "Gangsta" can be said to be an answer song to the hit song "WHORU? ft.. ANARCHY" from the previous album, "NWO" has a heavy, dragging trap sound, yet is sophisticated in her own way, "4: 44", which combines a beautiful piano melody with her ephemeral yet powerful singing and rapping, In addition to "First Light," which is sung deeply and soulfully like a prayer, From the previously released EP “Beat”, EGO-WRAPPIN' "Shikisai no burusu(Colorful Blues)", contains a total of 20 songs, including the official sample "Kami hikoki (Paper Airplane)" and the album version of "NEBUTA" featuring kZm from YENTOWN. The title of this album is Peacock, Utsukushikumo tobenaitori(a beautiful but flightless bird) like the peacock, which is said to be revered as a beneficial bird because it likes to eat poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, and has also been adopted as a religious object as a symbol of warding off evil spirits, it is based on the image of Awich, which feeds on poison from the lower world and breathes out a breath that leads to the heavens. That's what it means. Although it is glittering, it leaves a lasting impression on the listener with its many words that deeply pierce the heart. A new masterpiece representing Japan, where strength and fragility coexist as one, has been born. Continuing from the previous work, the artwork was created by KEITA SUZUKI, and the peacock characters were created by calligrapher Mami.
