A teen’s made-in-two-hours track shot to the top of Spotify’s viral chart this week after becoming a meme and TikTok challenge. Eighteen-year-old Ryan Murphy made “Omae Wa Mou” as a “Lil Boom x anime” type beat, intending to sell it to another rapper to lay his lyrics over, but the feel-good instrumental with Japanese lyrics soon became a favorite background track for memes and a choregraphed TikTok dance challenge. It also sold to Lil Boom for $25, but the original instrumental is what’s seeing the most success—despite being taking down briefly for copyright infringement. (Rolling Stone)
