So, I was looking at Vegeta like the rappers who think they're bad and don't really do nothing. Like Frieza would kill him, and he would still come back and try again. Well, Vegeta is like… when I was working on the album I was watching the Frieza saga, of course, and Vegeta was trying to be the toughest and most powerful. Now why did you choose to make a song about Vegeta? So in way I've taken Ls in the game as well but I bounced back. No matter how many times he got put down-shit there's been times for me where I was thinking things were going to take off and they didn't. Yeah, Frieza got bodied many different times but the thing about Frieza, even in the new movie, is that he is resilient. And he wanted to be the baddest and that's how I feel about this rap shit, I want to destroy everything.īut you realize Frieza got bodied like several different times ? Got to be Frieza because he's like the meanest, coolest, evilest dude who just destroys planets. Noisey: This is probably a very obvious answer but who is your favourite character in DBZ? The tape samples clips and music from the original Japanese soundtrack, while also adding in more contemporary touches, like Sese's Migos-inspired cadence of "why must you flex, Vegeta, Vegeta" on the track "Vegeta." Sese drops bars for "Everyone on the show is trying to level up their powers and be the strongest fighter, and that's pretty much how I look at the rap game-rappers want to be the best, they want to be the next guy and then the creative juices started flowing." "One of my friends was talking about how epic the battles on Dragon Ball Z were and then we started talking about how crazy the parallels between hip-hop and the show are," Sese explains.

Pulling its name and inspiration after one of the series' most popular and beloved arcs, in which Goku must fight Galactic overlord and destroyer of planets Frieza, Sese says his foray into "anime-rap" was put into motion after watching a bunch of Dragon Ball Z on Youtube with his friends. Lord Frieza, has taken it a level further with his entirely DBZ-inspired mixtape The Frieza Saga. Now, a Niagara Falls, Ontario, rapper by the name of Sese, a.k.a. The show has won over countless fans-including artists like Frank Ocean, Childish Gambino, Soulja Boy, Chance the Rapper, all of whom have made DBZ references in their music (high praises to to Vice producer Eleanor Fye for the info). The sequel to the original Dragon Ball, DBZ is a popular anime about an earthbound man, Goku, learning he's the last of a dying breed of aliens and going on to use his strength to save the world from extraterrestrial threats.
