San E - Season of Suffering (album cover)

San E releases ‘Season of Suffering’ EP

San E of BrandNew Music has released a new mini album titled ‘Season of Suffering‘ today, the title track’s music video will follow shortly.

In 2016 San E received much love from the public, having several “all kill” chart hits.
This new album is very much unlike his previous releases. The ‘Season of Suffering’ is divided into beginning, development, crisis, peak, and end, much like the story of a book. The album is very introspective, containing his inner thoughts, worries, and contemplations. Also, San E participated not only in the producing of all of the tracks, but also in designing the album jacket, finding the music video’s concept, etc., showing once again that he is not simply a rapper but an artist.
Through this refreshingly different album San E is proving his real worth as a rapper and lets the listener witness him finding his most true self, while at the same time confirming his very own rap style.

We at HiphopKR created the official translations and subtitles for all tracks! You can find the playlist with the official audios and subtitles below, the full versions of all the translations are available on our Translated Lyrics page, or simply click on the song titles below!
