Word of COMA-CHI’s skills spread amongst music lovers in Japan and she started featuring on records by Japan’s top tier artists like RHYMESTER, ZEEBRA, Miliyah Kato, Daichi Miura, and more. She went on to become the first female historical finalist at B-BOY PARK’s MC battle. Music fans all over Japan admired her so much that they recognized her as #1 woman MC of Japanese Hip-Hop.
