Stray Kids’ fierce sub-unit consists of Bang Chan (CB97), Changbin (SPEARB), and Han (J.ONE) and lets their lyrics do the talk for them. The trio raps about burying all their struggles while putting their growing success in the front for all the haters and the doubters to see. In reference to the Russian doll, they address that they carry an abunda...
Talk about a triple threat: Jeon Soyeon, BIBI, and Lee Young Ji channel their intimidating skills to deliver this badass rap. Each rapper puts her envious opponents back in their place with a flawless flow to set the record straight about them being everlasting in the game.
Zico goes real and raw in this marvelous depiction of what makes up the pieces of himself as an artist and a person. In a well-thought-out lyrical delivery, he fully acknowledges himself and the parts that may seem extreme to prying eyes.
“GANJI” (or swag) is what happens when two rappers dripping with swagger join forces. On one hand, PSY flaunts his idol/rapper/performer attitude with arrogant gratitude and teases Jessi about her lyrical game. Jumping in, the fierce unnieclaps back and fends for herself as she confidently spits bars in Korean and English interchangeably.
Who doesn’t recognize this epic live performance? Mino shattered both the stage and the audience with this sincere and heart-wrenching take on how fear affects our lives. As he beautifully put it, the only way to conquer our fears is by going through them.
C to the L all the way! The best way to give homage to the one and only CL is by featuring this very track because it simply encapsulates her essence as an artist. From her lyrical style to her stage presence, and add to that her performative touch, the rapper knows how to mark her territory and serve us ultimate bops.
I don’t know about you, but this jam always has me going “DDAENG!” with every listen. BTS’s rap line has a distinct style separately, but together they serve us harmony on a plate with a dash of wordplay. Such is the case for “DDAENG,” which humbles anyone who ever second-guesses BTS’s talent or success.
There’s nothing like a woke artist, and Dynamic Duo definitely makes the list! Joined by Chen, Choiza and Gaeko address people struggling with depression and offer comfort and support via their heartwarming and consoling lyrics.
How far are you willing to go to make your dreams come true? Yesterday’s WIN Team B is today’s iKON, and they embraced hardships like champs. The track tackles failure, motivation, and perseverance as catalysts that will guide you to achieve your goals in life.
If you’ve been reading on Soompi for a while, you may have noticed that Epik High is featured in all of my rap articles. The reason is simple: their music speaks to me at every turn. Out of their entire discography, “Bleed” fits the bill here because Tablo and Mithra Jin narrate their musical journey between past and present to DJ Tukutz’s soulful ...
As hip-hop music gained popularity and became part of Korean mainstream music, many idol rappers began to interact with the hip-hop scene. Jay Park, former leader of 2PM, went on to be the founder and CEO of two of the biggest Korean hip-hop labels, AOMG and H1GHR Music.
While hip-hop music was important to the progenitors of K-pop, Koreans at the time were most fascinated by dance moves, and the emphasis on dance remains an important aspect of K-pop today. By the early '90s, hip-hop had begun to egress its original audience and evolve into a new form.
