Awich is going to get Iggy out of here.

Imagine being personally mentored by one of the greatest minds in hip-hop—RZA. For Japanese rapper Awich, that dream is a reality. After more than two decades of sharpening her craft, the Okinawa-born artist is reaching new heights in 2025, and her latest release, “Butcher Shop,” is proof. Featuring FERG and RZA himself, the track is an intense, gritty offering that blends old-school energy with global firepower.

“Butcher’s Shop” is everything you’d expect from a collab of this caliber. Awich leads the charge with fiery, rebellious verses that highlight her competitive edge and lyrical sharpness. Her delivery is confident and relentless, with a hook that’s both simple and hard-hitting. Overall, she sounds like someone who’s earned her place in the cypher—and then some.

FERG joins the fray with a slick verse that pays homage to his roots and rap heroes, while also warning those who might cross him. It’s a sharp contrast to Awich’s attack mode, but together, their energies elevate the song to a whole new level. The production, courtesy of RZA’s signature touch, is intricate, dark, and cinematic—pure Wu-Tang nostalgia with a 2025 twist.

The streets needed Benny The Butcher on this track.
