Masstige of Busan-based hiphop label ALIVE MUSIC has released his first full-length album ‘Brain Map’ yesterday, along with the music video for the track ‘알리바바 (Ali Baba) (feat. T’Wali, SWAY D)’.
The album includes everything Masstige has experienced since he started making music until the album was complete, ranging from emotional considerations, changes of feelings, over conflicts to new sentiments.
Masstige has been working as sound engineer, recently for Dynamic Duo’s ‘Grand Carnival‘ and Green Club‘s album of the same name. For his own album, he was also in charge of the recording, mixing, and mastering, which enabled him to put more of his style into the songs.
The album is full of featurings: Hi-Lite Records’ G2 and SWAY D, Dipcoin and AVLX’s Jang Yoosuk who has released the full-length album ‘장유석‘ (Jang Yoosuk) recently, his AVLX crewmate Futuristic Swaver who is producing an incredible amount of innovative music, and finally ALIVE MUSIC’s T’Wali who released the EP ‘만수무강‘ (Long and Prosper Life) not too long ago.
Notably Atlanta-based female rapper Miss Bri who features on track four, ‘더위’ (Heat), has received support by Akon and impresses with performances at various festivals and album releases.
Featured producers are SWAY D, Y N S K, and Futuristic Swaver, as well as rising artist WOOGIE who produced Bryan Cha$e’s album from last year and Reddy’s ‘생각해 (Think)’. For the overall album production, Masstige received help from his labelmate DJ MAD.
The music video for the title track ‘알리바바 (Ali Baba)‘ was directed by T’Wali and Masstige, joined by JGR who is a director in Moscow.
