**Scha Dara Parr** (スチャダラパー, *Suchadarapā*), or **SDP** for short, is a three-member [Japanese](/source/Japan) [hip-hop](/source/Hip_hop) group that formed in 1988 and debuted in 1990.

## History

The group consists of two [MCs](/source/MC), Bose and Ani, and one [DJ](/source/DJ), Shinco. Scha Dara Parr is often compared to rap trio the [Beastie Boys](/source/Beastie_Boys) due to their similar lyrical stylings, presence, and music. When pushed to describe the rebelliousness of their music, the group commented that many of their songs are simply fragments of conversation without polite words.[1]

The group is best known for their 1994 hit single, "Kon'ya wa Boogie-Back" (今夜はブギー・バック, *Kon'ya wa Bugī Bakku*) featuring [Kenji Ozawa](/source/Kenji_Ozawa) (小沢 健二), which attained sales of over 500,000 units. The song is based on samples from [En Vogue](/source/En_Vogue)'s 1992 single, "[Give It Up, Turn It Loose](/source/Give_It_Up%2C_Turn_It_Loose)."[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

Scha Dara Parr gained minor US recognition by appearing on [De La Soul](/source/De_La_Soul)'s 1993 album, [Buhloone Mindstate](/source/Buhloone_Mindstate). The group rapped in a mixture of mostly Japanese and some English on the track "Long Island Wildin'".

The 1991 single "Game Boyz" (ゲームボーイズ) from the group's second album "Towering Nonsense" (タワリングナンセンス) was featured in the Japanese commercial for *[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past](/source/The_Legend_of_Zelda%3A_A_Link_to_the_Past)*.[2][3][4] By the end of 2013, when *[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds](/source/The_Legend_of_Zelda%3A_A_Link_Between_Worlds)* was released as a sequel to *Link to the Past*, Scha Dara Parr wrote a rap for a Japanese commercial for this game. This eventually became its own sequel-- "Game Boyz 2" (ゲームボーイズ 2), released on their album 1212 in 2015.
