SXSW 2019: Who We're Excited to See

SXSW Spotlight: Who We’re Excited to See

South by Southwest has invited a number of Korean hip-hop and R&B artists to spotlight. The likes of Epik High, MFBTY, and Crush have all left their unique stamp on the festival. In 2019, the range and diversity of hip-hop and R&B acts has only broadened. Here I give a sneak peek into who I’m really excited to see (and who you should probably check out as well).

BLOO – Drink Slow Henny

Chorus x2)
Underground studio
Let’s light up a Cubana Double
And go to Rodeo [Drive] tonight

쿠바나 더블 불 붙이고
오늘 밤은 가자 로데오
Mm okay

Hook x2)
Drink slow Henny
Drink slow Henny
Drink slow Henny
You gotta f*ck with me heavy

Verse 1)
Mom, living here has turned out different from what I had thought
More than expected don’t understand me, it’s a bit surprising
Yea, do I have to adapt some more? It’s confusing
Yea, f*ck, I think I just gotta go my way


엄마 여기서 내가 살다보니까 내 생각 같지가 않더라구
생각 보다 나를 이해 못하는 애들이 많아 좀 놀랍더라구
Yea 내가 좀 더 맞춰줘야 되나 헷갈리더라구
Yea f*ck 난 그냥 갈 길 가야 될 거 같더라구

Lil peepin (what)
Spending money and I’m tippin’ (mm)
F*ck all the opp, there’s nothing to be scared of
We’ll all die anyway (you know)

Lil peepin (what)
돈을 뿌리고 난 tippin (mm)
Fuck all the opp 겁낼 거 없어
어차피 다 죽을 거야 (you know)

Three glasses of Hennessy at once (three glasses)
Three green banknotes too (yeah)
Pretending to be an artist, all sold-out (f*ck)
Looking at y’all I cure my hangover

Hennessy 한 번에 세잔 (세잔)
초록색 지폐도 세장 (yeah)
예술가 인척 다 매장 (f*ck)
너네 보며 나는 해장해

Chorus x2)

Hook x2)

Verse 2)
My skills are improving? Y’all are quite funny (oh my)
I’ve always been this good, you prolly just didn’t know (oh my)
I’m the most underrated rapper in Korea
Mm okay, if you know you know


내 실력이 늘고 있다니 너네 참 웃기다 (아이고)
난 원래 이랬어 네가 몰랐단 걸 모를까 (아이고)
난 한국에서 제일 과소평가된 래퍼야
Mm okay 알 사람은 알 거야

You gotta f*ck with me heavy (heavy)
Boy, Henny drink slowly (slowly)
My girl’s moaning every day (yeah)
Good morning to my girl (morning)

You gotta f*ck with me heavy (heavy)
Boy, Henny drink slowly (slowly)
내 여잔 매일 moaning (yeah)
네 여자에게 굿 모닝 (모닝)

I drink gin tonic (yeah yeah)
My pace increases (yeah yeah)
Once again earning money while having fun (yeah yeah)
Mm okay

마셔 진토닉 (yeah yeah)
빨라진 걸음 (yeah yeah)
놀면서 벌지 또 돈을 (yeah yeah)
Mm okay

Hook x2)
