Yankie and Jeian drop joint EP ‘11516’ and ‘Glow (Feat. Gaeko)’ MV
Amoeba Culture’s Yankie has collaborated with rookie rapper Jeian on the mini album ‘11516’. It came out today along with the music video of its title track, ‘Glow (Feat. Gaeko)’.
The first time in his over twelve-year-old career, Yankie has taken up the role of a producer. However, fans can still hear him rap in this project album with rookie artist Jeian.
‘11516‘ is a straightforward description of the brief moments between two lovers. The curious title refers to the place where the album was made.
Going straight in, ‘Bed Break’ depicts passionate love-making. In the second track, a man wants to be the ‘Fisherman’ swimming his beloved’s vast sea. Only the moonlight shines on two people as they fall in love at first sight and talk all night, the story told in ‘Glow’. And finally, ‘I’m Crying’ is about someone remembering their past love with suppressed feelings.
Yankie was not only in charge of the music, he also helped making the music video. Directed by VIDEO KID, it features beautiful animations by Seoro Oh. The two previously created the music video for DJ Friz‘s ‘Dive (Feat. MRSHLL, Megan Lee)‘. Scroll down to watch the music video of ‘Glow’!

Soul One releases first full-length album ‘SouLonely’
Singer Soul One has released his first full-length album ‘SouLonely‘ yesterday with support by Coke Jazz, Satbyeol, Huckleberry P, Hwaji, and Paloalto. The music video for the title track ‘Thank U’ has come out as well.
Singer Soul One debuted in 2008 with the single ‘No More’. In 2016 he and EachOne collaborated on the full-length album ‘Blue Dream‘ and most recently on the single ‘Purple (Feat. Born Kim)‘.
There are several types of music. Easy listening, music that you dance to, music that touches you deeply, and music that helps you concentrate.
Then, there is Soul One’s first full-length album, which is somewhere in between all those categories. It is the type of music that sounds unfamiliar.
“Soul” stands for a music genre as well as for the determination to always keep a pure soul. “One” represents the will to be number one in a specific field, but also for simply being the one and only. Thus, Soul One is the one and only soul.
This album is about that soul’s loneliness. Its songs are all fortright and honest. The singer received support from Cohort producer Coke Jazz, singer Satbyeol, rapper Hwaji, and his former Hi-Lite label mates Huckleberry P and Paloalto.
Watch the title track’s music video below!

Beenzino releases full-length album ’12’
After four years of waiting, Beenzino‘s first full-length album ‘12‘ has been released today.
As it is his very first full-length album, the artist has devoted his heart and soul to it all this time, and his style that has become even clearer and stronger is evident in every aspect of the album.
’12’ is made up of eleven tracks and features Black Nut, YDG, and Suran, as well as producers Peejay, Nochang, Wall E, and Coke Jazz. The album design was made by Beenzino’s art crew IAB Studio.
Beenzino will soon have to do his military service, as he is 29 and 30 is the maximum age for the compulsory military service in Korea. The artist hints at this fact in the songs ‘Flexin’ (“I have become so famous now that I can’t forgo the military [service]”) and ‘Imagine Time’ (“I can just quit, I have to go to the military soon anyway and at that time, everything will stop”).

Jang Hyejin releases ‘Good Time’ featuring Nucksal
Yesterday, singer Jang Hyejin has released the third part of her ‘ordinary’ project series about ordinary and common things titled ‘Good Time’ which features Nucksal.
The song could be everyone’s story and will provide consolation and comfort for those who are tired from running forward in life all the time.
The ‘ordinary’ project, which continuously delivers us fresh sounds, is a collaboration with Stoneship who have specialized in producing black music. As expected, many hiphop artists participated in the making of the song. It features VMC’s Nucksal who writes philosophical and clear lyrics, has a unique and excellent flow, and is receiving great love from fans for being a ‘free soul’. On top of this, daze alive’s head Jerry.k participated in writing lyrics, and The Cohort’s producer Coke Jazz was in charge of producing the beat and arranging it. There is more: talented female R&B singer Hoody with her unique voice was in charge of the melody line, a great combination with veteran singer Jang Hyejin.
