Teth releases first full-length album ‘TEXT 1’
Independent rapper Teth has released his first LP ‘TEXT 1’ today with support from singer NoeL and producers C.why, FADE, Riby-J, Lagoon, bzk, and Denzel O’mighty.
The main focus of ‘TEXT 1‘ are sincere and well-delivered lyrics that talk about Teth‘s personal life (he debuted in the hiphop scene later than others, at the age of thirty) and about his longing for and belief in the beautiful and good. The title track ‘알고 보면’ (lit.: as it turns out), a ratchet song, sends a message of love and peace. Including this, there are all in all twelve tracks, only the first one featuring singer NoeL (not to confuse with the rapper NO:EL). The participating producers are C.why, FADE, Riby-J, Lagoon, bzk, and Denzel O’mighty.
“I seriously pondered on, ‘Where am I? Who am I?’ I pursued concrete respect over unconditional love, meaning over fun, philosophy over entertainment. Just like everyone else, there was a time when I was intently absorbed into the question of ‘What is hiphop?’ For me rhymes are still espresso, flow is milk, and life is chocolate-do you wanna drink my rap mochaccino?”

Singer-songwriter FADE releases single ‘Smoke On the Water’
FADE has released the Deep Purple-inspired single ‘Smoke On the Water’, which was produced by Riby-J.
Starting with a gentle piano melody and an acoustic guitar, ‘Smoke On the Water‘ comes at you with sharp drums, distorted sounds, and a heavy real bass full of emotions. Inspired by the story behind Deep Purple’s song of the same name, the single contains FADE‘s point of view and emotions. It is the story of a person thirsting for help in the midst of deep water and blazing flames. It can also be the story of someone who has broken up with their love, the story of someone and their inner self, or the story of someone suffering and getting hurt by others.
The beat was created by talented producer Riby-J, which was then arranged by NOWORNEVER who already worked with FADE for his single ‘Keep Ballin‘, and for the chorus FADE received help from his longtime, close friend Yongu Jo who recently sang duets together with Hyolyn on MBC’s Duet Song Festival.
Meanwhile, FADE has a music video coming up soon, as well as a mini album set for release in August.
