Akai is a half-Japanese MC from Lucerne, Switzerland and spits in German; Zeps is a producer from Brooklyn and resides in Switzerland as well. Switzerland has four national languages, and according to Akai, each respective state has their own dialect. The song I am featured on is 'Heiweh,' and it means 'homesickness' in Swiss-German; there are three languages featured on this song, spat by two Japanese MC's living outside of the motherland. Even though I don't comprehend a word of Swiss-German, I can infer through his rhyme patterns and technical syllable placements that the guy is a disciplined writer, just like me.
I believe they have their download link on their site:

Here is a short video collage which features traditional and contemporary images of Japan, set to a snippet of 'Heiweh.'
