Tako & Jhyung release ‘Cycle of Love’ LP

After six years of countless singles, Tako & Jhyung have finally released their first full-length album.

Cycle of Love‘ is made up of twelve tracks that go through loneliness, excitement, confession, dating, growing apart, breaking up, and so on. While the overall topic of the album clearly is ‘love’, within the stories you can find directly or indirectly the various worries of nowadays’ youth.

‘Cycle of Love’ has Tako & Jhyung’s fingerprints all over and with its sweet tracks it is a perfect album for anyone new to Korean hiphop or for those who enjoy a gentle break from tough rap.

Intro: Dok2)
Welcome to the Illionaire life
I feel good, let’s get it

Verse 1: Dok2)
Yeah I’m talkin dreams, my dreams aren’t when I close my eyes
because they’re something I have to protect with my heart
and putting my name on the line. Hoping to always be accompanied by a good vibe
My subconscious lets me know my goal

We can’t be perfect,  the more beautiful us
Missing out on the standards of success set by humans
Pretending that alcohol is comforting, the next day you have a sour stomach,
while cursing the reality that hasn’t changed, no matter how much

you blame the world, it won’t change
Start from changing your dead-wrong thoughts “I can’t do it”
I started from a container box on a building’s roof
Now my home here is in Yeouido, Marriott

The price of the watch on my wrist is that of one BMW
I told you, I’m definitely not the son of a rich man
I bought it all with the money I earned myself, no celebrity, it’s rap money
Self-made Illionaire, I ain’t frontin’

That’s right, you can do it too
You can also ride two Benz worth over $300 million
We can fly even without wings or an airplane
You thought this would be the end but I can still go farther, stay fly

Hook: Jooyoung & Dok2)
We gon’ make it (Yes we gon’ make it)
We can make it (You know and I know, yes we gon’ make it)
We gon’ make it (Yes we gon’ make it)
We gon’ make it (You know and I know, yes we gon’ make it)

Verse 2: Beenzino)
Before I know, 7 years since my debut have passed, I’m still smokin’ Marlboro
Even though people say I’ve changed, I’m still appealing
through my music, pay attention to the fact that
even without compromising, I’ve become quite famous

Lots of interviews and many photoshoots,
many performances and generous bravos,
Sometimes it’s a burden too, if I think about it
See, some kids buy the same clothes as me

The price of the shoes I wear goes up
After seeing that I changed my hairstyle,
business men’s thoughts are full of considering how to earn money with me
but I want to draw a more creative drawing

I don’t want to do music like one type of job,
like promptly finishing it and resting,
of course when the time’s up
everything will be whisked away like dying,

Like many artists inspired me,
Me too, yeah I wanna inspire you too
I don’t want to be part of popular music that says one thing
and then another, as I’ve said several times

I’ll protect my territory, I’m not talking about music charts
but my long-time belief
Instead of the muddy swamp of temptation, I put brand new Yves Saint Laurent
sneakers on my feet

Instead of becoming the biggest fashion for a little while,
becoming a separate type of class is much [more] important
I think that’s cooler, but instead of being cool,
being righteous is more of something

Hook: Jooyoung & Dok2)
(Yes we gon’ make it)
We gon’ make it (yes we gon’ make it)
We can make it (you know and I know, yes we gon’ make it)
We gon’ make it (yes we gon’ make it)
You know we gon’ make it

Verse 3: The Quiett)
Who could have known it’d turn out like this?
I knew but who else could have known?
I achieved about 100 dreams and like the MCs I loved
I showed off like a boss

People always said “muri desu” ((“Muri desu” is Japanese for “it’s impossible” and the word muri also exists in Korean with a similar meaning: “it’s too much (for you)” .))
Even going to the neighboring country Japan, they said it was impossible
Now I’ve become a global big shot
The expressions of bastards who badmouthed me have become troubled

Don’t forget, my success is your success
This much [success] is no big deal fuck humility ugh
We are all the victims of this country’s education
We need to rise up over these smartasses

Now, what do you see? Are you dreaming?
If I was able to do it you can do it too, all of it
Did you beg your parents, did you strangle them?((Word play on 조르다 (joreuda) which can mean  “to beg”as well as “to strangle”))
Get your own shit, kids, parents, everybody all

Stop coppin’ Jordans, be like Jordan
Yeah we like Jordan, we are like Jordan
Nothing’s easy in this place called earth
You need hard work and endurance

Who here hasn’t gone through hardships before?
The difference is whether or not you were able to overcome them
Superman exists in comics or movies
Even when he falls down he firmly stands back up on his two feet once again

like a giant, firmly
Whatever people around me say, fuck it
We gon make it yea we gon make it
If we can’t make it then we gon take it

Nobody here was born to lose
Cowards drop out ‘cause they’re scared of the game
Nah man, we definitely won’t be that type of guy
Get up, put up three fingers quickly ((1llionaire signz up!))

Outro: The Quiett)
Put your Illionaire signz up
