The "SCARS" of the title is the name of a hip-hop crew consisting of rappers A-THUG, SEEDA, STICKY, etc. Some of you must have become obsessed with them, and in the mid-00s they were among the first to implement the US hustler style in Japan, which had not been part of the scene in the past, and have been a major influence on the subsequent Japanese hip-hop scene.
