Five years after his previous full-length album, Basick returns with ‘Foundation Vol. 4‘, a music video, and sturdy support from various artists.
Within the past years, Basick had left the music scene for a while and lived as a regular head of a family. He returned grandly as the winner of Show Me The Money 4 which brought him popularity and positive energy, but which sometimes turned to poison and held him back.
His third full-length album is the result of Basick’s emotional efforts and musical endeavors. He worked on it for about half a year, trying his best to express his feelings wholly and honestly. The album contains various genres, from boom bap to trap, and features both veteran musicians as well as rookies.
“I just did what I wanted,” Basick comments.
Already last year, Basick paved the way to this album through his project ‘WTF (Way To Foundation)’, pre-releasing ‘My Wave‘, ‘₩on It All‘, ‘Real Life‘, and ‘SM58‘. Yesterday, the music video for the title track ‘The Kid‘ came out.
You can find the album on iTunes/Apple Music. Watch the ‘Microphone Checker‘ MV below!

EK, BOLA, and NEAL, the Korean hiphop scene’s hottest trio, return with the mini album ‘2018’ and the music video of its track ‘Want’.
MBA Crew released their first single in 2015. Last year, they dropped their first mini album ‘Most Badass Asian‘ under STONESHIP. Shortly after, the single ‘Racism‘ and another mini album, ‘YF‘, followed.
EK, BOLA, and NEAL make a strong comeback in ‘2018‘ with their new EP. MBA is becoming the new voice of Korean hiphop and 2017 was the year they started making their mark. In hopes to take over the new year they titled their EP ‘2018’, anticipating their tracks like ‘2018’ and ‘SILLIM ROCKSTAR’ to become new hiphop anthems.
You can find ‘2018’ on Korean music portals. Until it is available on iTunes/Apple Music, check out the music video for ‘Want‘ below, the first of three videos!
