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).
XXX pre-release ‘Sujak’ off upcoming ‘Language’ LP
XXX of bana have pre-released the track ‘Sujak (수작)‘ off their upcoming first full-length album, ‘Language’, today.
Rapper Kim Ximya and beatmaker FRNK started to release tracks off their first LP in February, with ‘What You Want‘. In May, another track off the LP, whose title has not been revealed yet, came out as part of FRNK’s ‘Copy and Creation Mixset Vol. 1‘. Then, just last month, the two dropped the single ‘Just Like‘.
This fourth track seems to be the last pre-release as the album is coming up on November 28. You can find the single on international music platforms, including YouTube (see above), iTunes/Apple Music, and Spotify.
‘Sujak’ Credits:
Lyrics: Kim Ximya
Composed and arranged by FRNK
Presented by BANA
