Top 5 Japanese Inspired Lo-fi Hip-Hop Youtube Channels
Who hasn’t waded through videos, down the rabbit hole, on Youtube and come across a lo-fi hip-hop track featuring a looping Anime GIF? Years ago these tracks wouldn’t have been that recognisable but today they’re a familiar part of the music on youtube. Known for their mellow beats and nostalgic melodies, you can’t help but be reminded of great classics from J Dilla or Nujabes as it emanates through the speakers.
Its been an interesting journey for the lo-fi beats community on Youtube. It wasn’t too long ago that one would have to scour the furthest reaches of YouTube in order to happen upon a several hundred or several thousand viewed track. What started out as just an outlet for an appreciation of beats and melodies has manifested into something much more.
Who would’ve thought that there would be live stream versions geared towards productivity or even a safe haven for those to reflect within and take a break from whatever.
Today, more than ever, we’re spending more time at home to discover new things, learn new skills and be productive. We hope these tracks will act as the ambient soundtrack to your pandemic activities.
