Simba Zawadi released his debut mixtape, ‘용기 (Courage)‘, in 2015. So far, he has worked with the likes of BewhY, DJ Kendrickx, Debi, Donutman, and Asol. He took part in seasons five and six of Show Me the Money. In 2016, he dropped ‘The Late Night Mixtape‘ together with Keem Hyo-eun (at the time known as Kenny Raw).
For more info about the artist, read Simba Zawadi’s 2015 interview with ROKHIPHOP’S SCV.

“I intent to lose the names I’ve had.”

Today, Simba has released his first full-length album. While none of the tracks has any featurings, the rapper got talented artists to support him with the production: BewhY, juiceoveralcohol members Acacy and Khundi Panda, aka Flatcakezombie, Cozyboy dsel, producers Viann, Easymind, and Don Sign., as well as singer Jclef.

The lyrics contain very personal, well-narrated stories. And Simba is not afraid to drop names–as the title so proudly proclaims. He mentions Paloalto, VMC, E SENS, Junoflo, Killagramz, Debi, Hi-Lite Records, and Illionaire Records, just to name a few. More importantly, Simba raps about his own experiences with the Korean hip-hop scene, mostly the politics.
