Drunken Tiger - BUMAYE (cover art)

Drunken Tiger pre-releases new single and music video ‘BUMAYE’

The single and music video ‘BUMAYE (범바예)‘ mark the second pre-release off Drunken Tiger’s upcoming tenth LP after ‘YET.‘. This new track is another joint by Tiger JK and Loptimist.

The title of this track is a reference to the phrase “Bomaye,” which the audience shouted when George Foreman faced Muhammad Ali in 1974. Combining the spirit of the tiger and the legendary boxer Ali, this song sends an important message to nowadays’ youth: In this generation where everyone obsesses over numbers and rankings and uses them to rate art, it might be time for a different view on measuring value.

Having always been into African and reggae music, Tiger JK had Loptimist put an African rhythm over a boom bap-based sampling. The rhythmical beat reminds of Drunken Tiger’s ‘Liquor Shots’.

Loptimist comments: “I made constant efforts to find the right bpm and pitch for Tiger JK’s voice. And imagining him standing on stage, I tried my best to create music that would be fun for the audience yet true to hip-hop music.”

With his unrestrained flow, Tiger JK’s Korean lyrics sound like African rap. Topped with Yoonmirae‘s vocals in the chorus, this track will ease the wait until Drunken Tiger’s 10th LP.

Bizzy - What's Up Hyung (cover art)

Bizzy asks ‘What’s Up Hyung’ with new single and MV featuring YDG

After a (solo) break of one year and five months, Bizzy is back with the single and music video ‘What’s Up Hyung‘ which features his longtime friend YDG.

The title track of Bizzy‘s single features the unique and outstanding YDG. The two artists have been friends for twenty years. Star hiphop producer Loptimist, who is responsible for countless hit songs, has created a classic hiphop track for the two friends.

In the single’s first track ‘그날’ (lit.: that day), Bizzy raps about his feelings after the final stage of SMTM6 in his charming, mellow baritone.

The third track ‘6 Cypher’ is the producer cypher of this year’s season of Show Me The Money (minus ZICO and DEAN’s parts). The mind-blowing line-up and the cypher video were so popular that fans requested an official release for the track. The producers agreed on it to be included in this single.
