In celebration of his 25th birthday, 1LLIONAIRE Records CEO and artist Dok2 released his latest track ‘MULTILLIONAIRE’ with American producer DJ Mustard, who is known for his past work with American emcees such as Tyga, YG, Kid Ink, Meek Mill, Chris Brown, and more.

It was recently announced that Epik High member Tablo will be creating a new hip-hop label. This recent movement is supported by YG Entertainment’s CEO Yang Hyun-suk who is designating Tablo as the forefront of the new label.
Earlier this year, Keith Ape dropped the MV for his track ‘It G Ma (잊지마)’ which recently surpassed 4 million views on YouTube. Despite the continued controversy over the track “It G Ma” and the alleged “cultural appropriation” of American hip-hop (more specifically, OG Maco’s “U Guessed It”), Keith Ape’s presence in the US is now greater than ever. Korean hip-hop magazine HIPHOPPLAYA sat down with Keith Ape’s record label HILITE Records to discuss this matter.
