Jindotgae and WILLYEOM release project album ‘GOOD IS BAD’
Rappers Jindotgae and WILLYEOM have released their project album ‘GOOD IS BAD’ with MC Meta, Los, and Hash Swan today, as well as the music video of the title track ‘XXXL FUTURE’.
For the last two years, Jindotgae has been working hard as an independent artist, releasing his underrated ‘Rabies’ series. He now joined hands with WILLYEOM who debuted just last month with the single ‘뉴욕행 (N.Y.C.)‘ which was produced by Dakshood of Krosshartz.
On January 1st, Jindotgae and WILLYEOM pre-released the single ‘YAY‘.
This project album is made up of five tracks. The featured artists are Ambition Musik’s Hash Swan, Korean hiphop’s old hand MC Meta, and Los who recently joined Ghood Life Crew.
The title track’s music video was directed by Errday who is known for the music videos ‘DDAL-GI SWAG‘ and San E‘s ‘Mohae‘.
The album was born with the questions “What is good and what is bad?” and “Who determines this?” Thinking about clichés and classics, the result is that any album can sound good to one person while it can sound bad to someone else. In other words, ‘GOOD IS BAD‘.
Next, the two artists pondered on how to express this phrase through music and came to the conclusion that they had to break the mold. Something that is in a way a cliché but that not anyone can easily pull off. Thus, each track on this album lets you hear different rap styles, tones, and atmospheres, and the participating artists were invited to ‘break the mold’ with the two rappers.
Exclamations like “That was unexpected!” or “This doesn’t make sense!” could be heard as work progressed. Jindotgae and WILLYEOM replied to these with: “You probably think that way because we’ve escaped the frame of what you call ‘good’. However, that ‘good’ can become ‘bad’ to anyone at any time.”
The two artists worked hard to make their album consistent throughout, not only the music but also the artwork and videos.
Someone might find this album good, someone else might find it bad. However, Jindotgae and WILLYEOM do not care at all, because ‘GOOD IS BAD’.
In the following weeks, Jindotgae and WILLYEOM will be holding free showcases in Daegu (January 27), Busan (February 3), and Seoul (February 10). The exact locations and times will be revealed via SNS.
