KIMOXAVI release second mini album ‘Hold Up’
Hiphop duo KIMOXAVI have released their second EP ‘Hold Up’ as well as the title track’s music video of the same name.
KIMOXAVI are producer/rapper Ray Hill and rapper Fatal. The two debuted in February with the mini album ‘27%‘.
With Ray Hill at the center of the production process of their second EP ‘Hold Up‘, KIMOXAVI is showing that they are self-sufficient by writing, composing, recording, mixing, and mastering their own music, proving that they are truly self-made.
In February, the duo went to London to shoot the music video of their title track ‘Hold Up’ with the support of a local video director and staff. The duo’s goal was to spread a powerful and inspiring message on the web against racism. Their campaign is called “#flashlightchallenge” and says that “in the dark we’re all the same,” “stand up against racism.” They also did a homage to Black Eyed Peas’ ‘Where Is the Love?’ music video by going all around London to distribute #flashlightchallenge flyers. More information about the campaign can be found on their official website.
Scroll down for the music video and the official audios of the entire album!
Track List, Description & Credits:
- Hold Up
Telling off the fakes that pretend to be real - Hot Like Jordan
“23 on my back,” KIMOXAVI say they’re confident to get results like Michael Jordan - 직이네! (Killin It)
This track is about the lifestyle of making efforts and having passion towards one’s goal, slowly heading toward success - All I Do Is Flex
In this track the two rap about their lives until now, all the changes and experiences they went through, and what their lives look like now

Hiphop duo KIMOXAVI debut with ‘27%’ EP
Producer/rapper Ray Hill and rapper Fatal of UniqueTunes Records have released their first mini album ‘27%‘ as KIMOXAVI (read: key-mo-sah-bee).
The keywords of the album are ‘revenge and success’: “No matter what anyone says, I will keep making my music according to my belief. Succeeding with good music will be my revenge.”
In the album the two let out all their pain from being excluded and their anger toward uncreative artists and the inflexible hiphop scene. ‘27%’ stands for their own lives and was self-made through countless trials and errors.
Ray Hill is an all-round producer with a broad spectrum including hiphop, R&B, and EDM: he writes lyrics, composes, arranges, raps, sings, records, mixes, masters, and more!
Every Sunday at 9PM KST, KIMOXAVI stream live via YouTube how they record new tracks.
