Mangos (Holmes Crew’s Shupie, y1ee, and Silly Boot) have released their ‘Mixtape Indie 2’ today. The 26 tracks feature dkash, Hash Swan, Kidd King, Keem Hyo-Eun, Dayday, and more.
In summer 2017, Holmes Crew members Shupie, y1ee, and Silly Boot founded the project group Mangos. The name is a mix of ‘Mangwon-dong’, the neighborhood the three artists lived in, and the US-American three-member hiphop group ‘Migos’.
One day, they saw an interview with Migos in which they said that they record several tracks within one day. Thus, the Holmes Crew members decided to do the same. The result of their hard work was the ‘Mixtape Indie‘, 25 tracks they released in July last year.
‘Mixtape Indie’ showed the three artists’ will to make an effort and become the best in the Korean indie hiphop scene. It included songs about their life as independent artists, as well as love songs with mainstream sounds. However, the album was only popular amongst Holmes Crew’s fans and hiphop fans and was unable to reach a wider audience. Mangos think that the reasons for this were their lack of publicity and the overall gloomy sounds that listeners might find tiring and boring.
Determined to once again knock on the doors of hiphop fans and the public alike, they started making ‘Mixtape Indie 2‘. Earlier this year, in the middle of working on the album, the three Mangos escaped their dark basement studio in Mangwon-dong to a ground-floor studio in Hapjeong-dong. And in the following, they made songs that are as bright as their new surroundings.
While in the previous album they tried to refrain from having featured artists, this time they did not hold back to get support from talented producers and rappers: their Holmes Crew mates Dayday, dKash, and Hash Swan, Clarity‘s Kidd King, Ambition Musik‘s Keem Hyo-Eun, rookie singer kiiko, rapper kamii, NAKED of Rocket Drive, producer RAINMAKER, and more.
