Kokujin Tensai was a monolingual American rapper until he met a female Japanese exchange student who came to his high school and fell in love with her. As a result, he started studying Japanese and eventually started rapping in Japanese as well. He is from BHZ, the largest neighborhood in South Memphis, and frequently goes to Japan to do shows. He claims Hiroshima as his home away from home. This year he is working a new mixtape entitled “KisouTengai” which means “Outta this World”.
