Teth - TEXT 1 (album cover)

Teth releases first full-length album ‘TEXT 1’

Independent rapper Teth has released his first LP ‘TEXT 1’ today with support from singer NoeL and producers C.why, FADE, Riby-J, Lagoon, bzk, and Denzel O’mighty.

The main focus of ‘TEXT 1‘ are sincere and well-delivered lyrics that talk about Teth‘s personal life (he debuted in the hiphop scene later than others, at the age of thirty) and about his longing for and belief in the beautiful and good. The title track ‘알고 보면’ (lit.: as it turns out), a ratchet song, sends a message of love and peace. Including this, there are all in all twelve tracks, only the first one featuring singer NoeL (not to confuse with the rapper NO:EL). The participating producers are C.why, FADE, Riby-J, Lagoon, bzk, and Denzel O’mighty.

“I seriously pondered on, ‘Where am I? Who am I?’ I pursued concrete respect over unconditional love, meaning over fun, philosophy over entertainment. Just like everyone else, there was a time when I was intently absorbed into the question of ‘What is hiphop?’ For me rhymes are still espresso, flow is milk, and life is chocolate-do you wanna drink my rap mochaccino?”
