Rapper T-STONE released his first album today.

The title, Type 1 Diabetes, is an ailment he has had since he was a child.

It is said to feature heartfelt lyrics and passionate vibes.

The album features a total of 10 tracks. They feature appearances from a long list of guests, including veteran rappers like Zeebra and SIMON, as well as younger artists such as Fuji Taito, Sorane, CHICO CARLITO, Young Dalu, G:nt and Riin. Producers who contributed to the release include YamieZimmer, DJ WATARAI, NAOtheLAIZA, Giorgio Blaise Givvn, Anan Kaminaka, ACKO, WOFFY RICH and Maria Segawa.

Songs featured on the release include DonDaDa feat. Zeebra, which is a reconstructed version of Zeebra's famous song Kekkon to risou no genjitsu, Woman feat. Sorane, which expresses his thanks to his mother, Hitotsu no yoru feat. CHICO CARLITO, which sees him sing about joy and chasing dreams with his friends, and ZOMEKI feat. Takarabune, which fuses rap with inspiration from traditional performance art from the Awa Odori Festival, an event held in his hometown of Tokushima.
