Life of Hojj releases first full-length album, ‘SOUTHSIDE’

Clarity Crew’s Life of Hojj, previously known as Young Lion, has released his first LP, ‘SOUTHSIDE‘, with featurings by Crucial Star, Kidd King, and more.

Young Lion debuted in 2015 under DAYUUM Records. His debut album ‘Life Changes‘ came out in 2016. Soon after, he went independent. Last year he founded Clarity Crew together with his long-time colleague Donutmanand Kidd King. The crew has released several singles and free tracks, as well as one compilation album.

This LP is the artist’s first release under the moniker ‘Life of Hojj‘, a name change he announced a while ago. The album contains the tracks ‘Average Chick‘ and ‘I Hate This Club‘ which were pre-released in April and June respectively.
Life of Hojj mainly raps about his life in Kangnam, which includes all kinds of incidents and feelings. The LP is his “Kangnam Blues” and “self-portrait” in the style of this generation.

The featured artists are Crucial Star, Clarity member Kidd King, American rapper Holy Osa, and AF1 Crew‘s G. Nine.

Django releases first full-length album ‘Seoul Jazz’

GRANDLINE Entertainment’s producer Django has released his first full-length album ‘Seoul Jazz‘ yesterday with a sheer endless line-up of featured artists, including Horim, Double K, Paloalto, DMEANOR, SUMIN, Ja Mezz, Hanhae, Crucial Star, Louie, TakeOne, and LOCO.

“It’s not the note you play that’s the wrong note – it’s the note you play afterwards that makes it right or wrong.”
-Miles Davis

“This quote reminds of our lives. Life is a continuation of choices and each depends on the choice before. I tried to express the various feelings and stories I’ve experienced in the city I live in, Seoul; loneliness, glory, love, and reconciliation.” -Django

Django pre-released this album’s title track ‘Play On Playa’ in 2016, which was his debut single. ‘Seoul Jazz‘ (February 2017) was the second pre-release.
For his first LP, the producer received support from his label mates and many other artists, including “cameos” by Just Music’s Han Yohan and indie producer Charming Lips. They both helped out with their guitar skills.

The album is available on iTunes. If you haven’t seen the music video for ‘Play On Playa’ yet, scroll down to watch it! Also check out the live version of ‘Seoul Jazz’ with LOCO and U Sung Eun!
