Dutch duo Yellow Claw release new single "Hey Sensei" with Japanese rapper Shachi, a trap and hip-hop track bridging cultures and languages

Yellow Claw, the iconic Dutch duo, are back with a dynamic new track titled "Hey Sensei," featuring Japanese female rapper Shachi. The song is a fusion of trap and hip-hop that showcases Yellow Claw's genre-bending style, incorporating xylophone solos, mechanical synths, and rhythmic basslines. Shachi's sultry vocals complement the hard-hitting beats, and the mix of English and Japanese adds a unique touch that creates vivid imagery throughout the sonic journey.

Yellow Claw has been a dominant force in electronic music for almost a decade, with over a billion plays on their music, performances at the biggest festivals and nightclubs, and collaborations with some of the biggest players in the industry. Their collaborations include DJ Snake, Steve Aoki, Gucci Mane, Tinashe, Tiësto, A$AP Ferg, and Juicy J, to name a few. Their global hits such as "DJ Turn It Up," "Do You Like Bass," and "Till It Hurts" continue to be played in clubs worldwide.

"We met up with Shachi when we did a show in Tokyo. Airdropped her the beat, and she sent us the vocals a couple of days later. All the Japanese lyrics are really like a painting with words to us. We don't know what they mean, but they sound so good." - Yellow Claw

Yellow Claw's rise to electronic dance music supremacy can be attributed to their thumping club records and stellar performances. Their November 2015 debut album, "Blood For Mercy," debuted at #1 on Billboard's Heat Seekers Chart and Top/Dance Electronic Albums Chart, earning an Edison Award - the Dutch equivalent of a GRAMMY. The album spawned the mega-smash "In My Room" (feat. Ty Dolla $ign, Tyga, & DJ Mustard), which has amassed over 160 million Spotify streams.

Yellow Claw's consistency and unique brand, including sophisticated outfits for each stage, have propelled them to the forefront of the industry. The duo is always pushing boundaries and creating music that shakes things up. "Hey Sensei" is just a taste of what Yellow Claw has in store for their fans, and it can be enjoyed on all digital streaming platforms.
