Jessi is officially back. Marking her first release since founding her independent label, UNNI COMPANY, “Newsflash” breaks a year-long silence with a sharp, self-assured return
B.I releases his second full-length album titled “TO DIE FOR”.
Michael Horton, known more commonly as MAN1AC, is many things. What he’s not is arrogant. He gave HiphopKR the privilege of an interview. In our in-depth conversation he opened himself up–something he rarely does–and gave us an honest look at the man he really is.
Music is a cornerstone of black culture. R&B is a descendant of the Negro spiritual. Hip hop is the voice of black and brown youth. Both genres come from great struggle. They’re voices for the disenfranchised, the exploited, the abused, and murdered. R&B and hip hop have become worldwide influences for all cultures and people. This, of course, includes the people of South Korea. Many singers, rappers, producers, songwriters, and composers gain inspiration from these genres and as a result profit from black culture and black fans.
Jessi has released her version of Crush‘s “Digital Lover” in collaboration with Hyundai Card. She made the new version together with CuzD.
It’s once again en vouge to make lists of top rappers. This is a past time as old as pen and paper. People making lists of their favorite things, and in this case favorite MCs. However, I think the sudden resurgence of “Best MCs” lists in the past few months started after Jermaine Dupri‘s indictment of rappers, particularly female rappers, post-1995.
Jessi‘s new track “Who Dat B” was produced by Brian Lee and Jessie Lauren Foutz, who also produced for artists like Camila Cabello and Post Malone.
