From BMG Japan comes Tina Novak’s “Been Around the World,” a collection of her signature jazzy hip-hop. Featuring collaborations with Misery Ill and Buttaphly, the record showcases Novak’s smooth vocals over laid-back instrumentals—a blend of boom-bap rhythms and mellow jazz chords. Novak has been performing live in Tokyo, with recent appearances at venues like the Shinjuku Loft.
