HILITE Records comments on Keith Ape hit track “It G Ma”

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.

Dear Tiger JK and Yoonmirae, Will you consider changing your group name?

Everyone recognizes the name Tiger JK. As a pioneer of the first generation of Korean hip-hop, there’s more than a handful of listeners who grew up inspired by the timeless music. Yoonmirae is certainly a leader in that respect as well, as illustrated by her singles which rise to the top of the music chart shortly after their release.
