The NORA is a Japanese Hip Hop collective from Kawasaki-City, Kanagawa-Pref, Japan, which began the careers of 1 track maker (Fuekiss) & 5 MCs (Gipper, Neech, Yoze, Trippen, Ticky-D). The group started with just five members, Ticky-D, Trippen, Gipper, Neech and Yoze. The group later added four members and was composed of nine MCs until the withdrawal of Lay-D & AK the Bandee in 2002 and Jun & Mascottboy in 2005. The crew name comes from the original japanese dog, which also has the meaning for “Unchained.
NORA's blend of gritty Japanese soul, fluid raps and the rolling G-funk of their NORA Records crew epitomized the Kanagawa wing of hip-hop's rising force, the Bay-Funk, during the early ‘00s. Along with H.G.P. (DJ Fillmore, Hyena, Distino), NORA took Kanagawa hip-hop in bold, innovative new directions: less reliance on aggression, more positivity and melody, thicker arrangements, and intricate lyrics. After NORA released their first Album "Noraaaah – Justa introduction of Bay-Funk", the quintet embarked on a run of over 10,000 sales albums spiked with several hit singles, enjoying numerous critical accolades in addition to their success.
