Giriboy has released his fifth full-length album, ‘Science Fiction Music (공상과학음악)‘, today. The LP features The Quiett, BewhY, JUSTHIS, Swings, and more.
International fans will have to wait until the single is available on iTunes/Apple Music. Until then, you can preview it on Korean music portals; see the box below if you need help. And check out the teaser if you haven’t seen it yet!

Korean hiphop label Just Music is bringing their “We Effect” Tour to North America this November. Read about their upcoming tour in Los Angeles, Toronto, Vancouver and New York City.
While we aren’t done enjoying ‘Hurricane Love’, Sway D is already back with the fresh new single ‘올라가‘ (lit.: going up) featuring SUPERBEE and Goretexx.
The artist is originally from Busan and came to Seoul in order to fulfill his big dream of making music. This single contains his resolution from that time. Support for these huge dreams and ambitions comes from SUPERBEE who is just as unpredictable and random as Sway D, as well as from Goretexx who is better known as world-famous fashion model Sungjin Park.
The heavy 808 bass and the dull synth sounds create a heroic atmosphere right from the start of the track. The simple but addictive hook that makes you perk up your ears is one of Sway D’s specialties.
However, not only the sound and the featured artists of this single are interesting. The green robot ‘Wind Kaizer’, who you might already know from Sway D’s Instagram posts and the cover artwork, has finally come to life in a video. Sway D becomes the super hero from his imaginations, Super Great Hurricane, and springs into action with Wind Kaizer. He invites SUPERBEE and Goretexx into this world of his where the two take up their own characteristic roles. The result is a music video much like a science fiction movie.
Sway D’s unique rise in the Korean hiphop scene is reaching a successful outcome. Look forward to Super Great Hurricane’s next adventure!
