Holy Osa drops project album ‘Blu Scale’

American artist Holy Osa has just dropped an interesting project album that mixes Miami hiphop with Korean sounds, was recorded in both English and Korean, and for which he worked with popular Korean underground artists like Young Lion, OHIORABBIT, G.Nine, Crack Bit, and many more.

Enjoying the special vibe that Korean hiphop has, Miami-based artist Holy Osa decided to mix the sounds of his local hiphop with Korean ones, working with various Korean singers, rappers, and producers over a span of about five months.

The result is ‘Blue Scale‘, an entirely unique album with a crazy mix of sounds, languages, and styles. The ten tracks were produced by M-Piece, Porya, Sky.High, Crack Bit, and one by Holy Osa himself. They feature Rob Valentine (who is Holy Osa’s All Things Holy crew mate just like M-Piece and Porya), ROLLYBOI, $NOX, Teogold, G.Nine, Dopein, ₩here Am I, OHIORABBIT, and Young Lion, whose chemistry with Holy Osa can be admired on two whole tracks.

Holy Osa says he has learned a lot while working on this album; receiving inspiration from the Korean rappers, broadening his musical spectrum by trying out new things like brighter sounding music and lyric-driven tracks like ‘Set You Free’, ‘Mullayo’, or ‘Not a Friend’, and very importantly, making new friendships.
The artist is already planning another project album similar to this one in which he wants to rap even more in Korean-HiphopKR will keep you updated!

Now check out the music video for ‘Metro (Feat. Young Lion)’ and give the album a listen-you will especially not want to miss out on the outstanding ‘Set You Free’ which features Teogold, G.Nine (who was previously introduced in our Artist Spotlight series), and Dopein!

Young Lion - Life Changes EP cover

Young Lion releases ‘Life Changes’ EP and MV

Rapper Young Lion has released a new EP album titled ‘Life Changes’ today, along with the music video for the album’s track ‘The One’.

He writes:

Hello, this is Young Lion.

In the constantly flowing time and this busily moving world, all of our lives are bound to change. Some people adjust their pace to that and move together with the world, others get tired while doing so and give up or create their own world and hide.

‘Life Changes’ is a brief EP about my life’s changes in the last few months and the change of my mind which took place during that time. While going to college and making music, my life has really changed a lot; the goals and values I had in life changed. During that process, I lost a lot but also gained a lot, and looking back, it was a year like a watercolor palette, a mix of happy and sad incidents. Through this album, I just wish to share the feelings of Lee Hojae,((Young Lion’s real name)) even if only a little.

One afternoon in very early 2016,
Young Lion a.k.a. C혼
