PRIMATE - 영장류 (album cover)

Alternative beatbox duo PRIMATE drop first full-length album ‘영장류’

PRIMATE, who are 2Tak and Lupang, have released their first full-length album ‘영장류‘ today. It features various artists like Hunger Noma, Don Mills, New Champ, Saul Goode, and Chris Lyon.

PRIMATE released their first single and music video ‘Mental‘ in 2016. In 2017 they then dropped ‘Benjaminbarker’. Both singles were pre-releases of the full-length album that came out today. Its Korean title translates to ‘primate/s’.

2Tak and Lupang are two of South Korea’s best beatboxers. Their career was no smooth sailing but their path as independent artists finally led them to this album. Eleven artists supported the duo’s work, including Vitality‘s Hunger Noma, VMC‘s Don Mills and Saul Goode, and US-American artist Tank Head.

You can find the LP on iTunes/Apple Music. Scroll down to watch the album teaser!
