Awich joined forces with FERG for her RZA-produced single, "Butcher Shop."The cut is a blend of American and Japanese hip-hop, with Awich describing it as "a place where three of my realities intersect." She specified Okinawa, where she was born and raised, Tokyo, where she lives now and New York, FERG's home."Together with a legend like RZA and a true embodiment of the streets like FERG, we cut through the noise with sharp words and beats to capture the spirit of this borderless era," the queen of Japanese rap added.
