[Intro] Basick: You will hear hot-blooded rapping. He made a crew with Rap Monster and Iron …
[Text] Which rappers do the greatest rappers of South Korea respect?

Huckleberry P: You have become the ‘boss’ of a label.
Basick: Do I look cooler now? I’ve always been the youngest, I’ve always followed the older guys around, but I’ve recently founded the label ‘All Right Music’. It’s a new experience.

Huck P: When there is a rookie rapper you’re interested in, do you check on him or her?
Basick: I suppose this goes for all rappers-I try to listen to most tracks that come out to find out who’s releasing what, who’s hot … These days, I’m quite interested in MBA Crew.
Huck P: Ahh, I like that team a lot.
Basick: The crew is called ‘Most Badass Asian’. I did work on a few tracks with them, I think you will hear them soon.

Huck P: As the “Master” today, who is the rapper you respect?
Basick: The rapper I’m introducing is called Marvel.J. He doesn’t look like it but he was indeed born in 1994.
Huck P: (laughs) What on earth does he look like [for you to say that]?!
Basick: The reason why I like him is this … I honestly started rapping because I liked the auditory sensation of it. In this sense, he is a rapper who gives my ears a lot of joy.

Huck P: Can you describe Marvel.J in one word?
Basick: The only word I can think of right now is “hot-blooded.”
Huck P: Me too, we’ve heard that word too often!
Basick: Those are the kind of words he likes. Marvel.J made the crew Daenamhyup together with Rap Monster and Iron, I think he’s the one who named it … (Huck P laughs)
“Daehan nam …” what was it? (turns head to Marvel.J who explains from the off, Basick laughs)
“South Joseon Co-Operative Hiphop Association,” this is the kind of thing he likes.

Basick: Let’s listen to the rap of hot-blooded 1994-born rapper Marvel.J!
