Changstarr releases ‘On the Road Mixtape Vol. 2: Highdigger’
Rapper Changstarr has released the second part of his ‘On the Road‘ mixtape series titled ‘Highdigger’. He calls it “the bible of Korea’s future hippies.”
After living in the US for a long time, Changstarr was influenced by the hippie culture. This mixtape includes his message to the future hippie generation growing up in a South Korea that is dominated by individualism. The older generation’s worn-out ways and Confucian thinking repress the young generation’s freedom. Through this tape, Changstarr hopes that the ‘Doors of Perception’ will open at least a crack.
‘Highdigger‘ is made up of fourteen tracks including two skits. Both pre-released singles and music videos ‘Funky Swag‘ and ‘Savage‘ are part of this mixtape. Additional featurings come e.g. by Swings, Bill Stax, and Neil (who now goes as ‘DUH MAHNI’).
All tracks but the ones that are exclusively available on CD can be listened to on SoundCloud (above). Also check out the music video for the title track ‘Butterfly Dream’ below!

Owen Ovadoz releases ‘세금발머리바나난리우드’ via SoundCloud
MKIT RAIN’s Owen Ovadoz has released a new track titled ‘세금발머리바나난리우드’ (saygeumballmariahbananollywood) via SoundCloud earlier today.
This is not a diss track, but fans suspect that with some lines Owen is referring to Simba Zawadi’s diss from the other day. The lyrics read:
Everybody gotta step on my nerve why? Oh I guess I’m that famous now
[This is] the result of living facing the future, not remembering yesterday or the day before
Everybody talking trash to me right now, oh I guess I’m that famous now
Oh I guess I’m that famous now, oh I guess I’m that famous nowMy god is deep and sweet, you can never feel it
Betrayal hurts but you’re alright, you laugh like
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
The word used for “god” here could also mean “poetry,” but the first makes more sense in the context. Note that Simba Zawadi is a faithful Christian, his father is a pastor.
They call me Mufasa, have you possibly seen a guy like this [before]?
Meeting me, they shout “Eureka!” but you’ll never be God’s son
Even when [I’m] quiet for a while they get curious, they’re all here
In other words, their expectations for me are rainmaking, scotching all the fire
The “Eureka” phrase reads “심 봤어” (shim bwasseo) in Korean which sounds similar to ‘심바’ (shimba), and the reference to Mufasa seems like a hint too. “Rainmaking” probably refers to MKIT RAIN and the “fire” could refer to the title of Simba’s diss track which was “flames.”
I’ve sold my passion long ago, we were on different routes
I’ve put aside my feelings, getting closer to my goal
Sorry, [this] hyung has suffered a lot, it’s alright, to a lame extent
Mo money mo problems mo fame, another point of viewNo mo friendship, fuck ‘em, just opening and closing traps
In the “hyung” line, Owen might be directly addressing Simba who is a year younger than him.
What Korean fans say about ‘세금발머리바나난리우드’
Fans found that this was rather a reaction than a diss track. They comment all in all positively: “Good, I like it,” “Owen is really good [at rapping],” “Why did he make such a good track?”
The song was produced by Candid Creation, who uploaded the instrumental to his own channel. The producer already worked with Owen Ovadoz on his single ‘Yellow Iverson‘ and his ‘Problematic‘ LP.
Changstarr releases single and music video ‘Funky Swag (with Tammy)’
Hippie rapper Changstarr has pre-released the track ‘Funky Swag’ off his upcoming project ‘On the Road Vol. 2: Highdigger’.
For this track, Changstarr worked with rapper Tammy who has made herself known by featuring on BILL STAX‘s ‘Buffet‘ Mixtape. Originally, ‘Funky Swag‘ was part of the mixtape ‘The Voltage‘ by Tammy’s crew Flavors K.
The dreamy, blunt beat by Dustfingaz reminds of the Golden Era. It is topped off by the two hippie artists’ decadent lyrics. Check out the Hypnos-directed music video below!
