TakeOne releases ‘Green Ideology Director’s Cut’ LP and ‘Show Time’ MV
Grandline Entertainment‘s TakeOne has released the ‘Green Ideology Director’s Cut‘ LP today as well as the music video for ‘Show Time’.
TakeOne released ‘Green Ideology‘ at the end of 2016. The album takes up a special place in Korean hip-hop with its high-quality narration and rap.
The ‘Green Ideology Director’s Cut’ shows TakeOne’s view as the album’s director which brings with it many changes: The transitions between the tracks are new, some parts left out, some newly added. As before, all tracks were mixed by Boost Knob‘s Kyungsun Park, but this time the re-mastering was done in the US by The Mastering Palace’s Kevin Peterson.
This new version includes the additional track ‘개화’ (read: “gaehwa”), which fans have already heard at concerts. Plus, the order of two other tracks was interchanged.
The physical version of the album is going to be available on July 17 via HiphopLE, limited to 500 CDs. This version includes an a capella and an instrumental CD, as well as a new cover and booklet. Furthermore, the albums are numbered from 1 to 500, making them even more worth buying.
Through this Director’s Cut, fans can experience how much thought TakeOne has put into the album as composer and director.

Cheska releases single ‘Aura (Feat. Lil Boi)’
R&B artist Cheska has released her third single ‘Aura’ today featuring Lil Boi of Geeks.
Geeks release ‘Fireworks’ LP
“A record of youth in the 20s that scatters in beautiful colors,” that is Geeks’ new full-length album with featurings by Crush, Giriboy, Sik-K, Hyolyn, and many more.
Lil Boi who works toward better music and a better life, and Louie who tries to speak of love while standing on the same ground as others. These two are the hiphop duo Geeks who are releasing their second full-length album ‘Fireworks‘.
Just like their previous ‘Backpack‘ LP, ‘Fireworks’ is a well filled CD with 16 tracks. Shining with inspiration, the songs follow one another as naturally as the seasons. Encounters and breakups, love and fights, excitement and fear. These and more feelings are recorded in the album. They are stories about a lover, stories for fans, and stories the two rappers tell each other.
In the last four years, Geeks have grown musically as they went through the process of finding themselves and now present themselves even stronger. The album lets you feel the countless hours the two spent in the studio in order to confidently deliver their music to their fans who have been waiting. Only three producers participated in the composition of the tracks: Duplex G, Pley, and Fisherman (not counting Slom who participated in track 6). By working on 13 tracks, Duplex G is the one who steered the album in its overall direction. The songs reflect the latest trends without getting buried under them. Each of Duplex G’s minimal arrangements, each of his song concepts is clear and expressive.
‘Fireworks’ also features a great number of artists. One of the two title tracks, ‘Fireworks’, features guitarist and legendary artist Sang-won Han of the super band GIGS. Further there are Hyolyn, Crush, Giriboy, Sik-K, Stella Jang, Cheska, and Taylor, who are all featuring on the track that fits them the best. The interludes were created by singer-songwriter and guitarist Soohyun Ryoo.
After persevering for four years, here is the music that everyone has been looking forward to, the music that Geeks worked on with all their sincerity and wanted everyone to hear. Enjoy the ‘Fireworks’ that Geeks are painting on the night sky.
“We are dazzling fireworks that rise and fall together”
