South by Southwest has invited a number of Korean hip-hop and R&B artists to spotlight. The likes of Epik High, MFBTY, and Crush have all left their unique stamp on the festival. In 2019, the range and diversity of hip-hop and R&B acts has only broadened. Here I give a sneak peek into who I’m really excited to see (and who you should probably check out as well).

24 Flakko releases new single ‘Heavenly (Feat. Owen Ovadoz)’
24 Gang’s 24 Flakko collaborated with MKIT RAIN’s Owen Ovadoz on his new single ‘Heavenly‘.
All eyes are on 24 Flakko since he worked with 21 Savage, Lotto Savage, and Notoriou5 Bino for his debut EP ‘ATLANTA’. He has founded ‘24 Gang‘, whose members include Don Mills, 24 Freaky, and 24 Ballee, and released the single ‘Stack Up‘ with them. Last month, Flakko collaborated with MKIT RAIN‘s Young West on the track ‘Chuck‘ and released his first full-length album, ‘Blood Ink‘.
After Young West, Flakko collaborated with another MKIT RAIN artist: Owen Ovadoz. And this time, Flakko raps sincere lyrics, letting go of his usual intensity for a more mellow atmosphere.
