Earlier today, the music video for G2 and Don Mill’s collaborative track ‘HYMN’ was revealed.
Earlier this year, Keith Ape dropped the MV for his track ‘It G Ma (잊지마)’ which recently surpassed 4 million views on YouTube. Despite the continued controversy over the track “It G Ma” and the alleged “cultural appropriation” of American hip-hop (more specifically, OG Maco’s “U Guessed It”), Keith Ape’s presence in the US is now greater than ever. Korean hip-hop magazine HIPHOPPLAYA sat down with Keith Ape’s record label HILITE Records to discuss this matter.
Earlier today, The Cohort artist Keith Ape revealed his collaborative track with American artist Azizi Gibson in their latest track titled ‘Pae-Ki‘ produced by Kamandi.

Intro)
My music is my all that I’ve devoted my youth to
Hi-Lite is the lamp that lights up my life
Verse 1)
My music is my all that I’ve devoted my youth to
Hi-Lite is the lamp that lights up my life
The thing I like more than music is cash
The thing I like more than cash will be unveiled
in roughly 4 minutes. While you guys are in a crisis
I break my limits again with my new rap
I’m sorry to you guys but I gotta get
a car like a big jeep and buy my house
For the sake of my mother and my future wife
So that my family will never starve
All of these are just my imagination
I want to buy a big house, above the 63 Building
I drew my dream like Picasso
I don’t know if people will like this song but
now at this moment
I’m imagining having a cool performance with this song
Hook)
My rap is sizzling hot like summer
Man I have feeling it’s gon’ be a hot summer
Hi-Lite, Cohort we all on the come up
and all you gotta do is put your thumbs up
We gon’ make it hot, we gon’ make it hot
Like in a sauna, I’m sweating all over
Bastards that are only a disturbance, fuck off,
cause I have lots of fun even [playing] by myself
We gon’ make it hot, we gon’ make it hot
Like in a sauna, I’m sweating all over
Bastards that are only a disturbance, fuck off
I have a feelin’ it’s gon’ be a hot
Verse 2)
Seoul city where it snowed a few days before
is frozen solid like a big freezer
But this beat I received from Gray some time ago
reminded me of a hot summer night ((Reference to Gray – Summer Night))
While everyone else sleeps peacefully
I sit in front of my MacBook again and become MacGyver
Opening the lock that has locked up my imagination
Enjoying this game called rap of making a new song
I imagine how busy I will be
this summer that I turn 30
On the other hand, I think about having to make a proper album
and like this, I pull an all-nighter again
As if I can see my future with my third eye
I feel high. Or am I just sleepy?
Do I have a cold? Did I turn up the boiler again?
Right now the heat in my room is hotter than the summer
Bridge)
Autumn is lonely and winter is too cold
About the time when spring has passed, my heart beats faster
The reason I’ve been working all winter for
I can’t wait till we go on tour
Can’t wait till we go on tour
Can’t wait till we go on tour
Can’t wait till we go on tour
Can’t wait till we go on tour
I have a feelin’ this gon’ be a hot summer
Hook)
