Colde - Your Dog Loves You (cover art)

Colde releases ‘Your Dog Loves You (Feat. Crush)’ digital single

Today, Colde of offonoff has released his first solo single ‘Your Dog Loves You‘. The song features singer Crush.

Colde writes: “Everyone has their own way of remembering things: pictures, videos, writings, drawings … For me, music is like my diary. On three to four minutes I record pieces of my memories, the atmospheres or scents from that time.

I got Samna when I was in my second year of high school. I still vividly remember that day when newborn Samna, eyes still half-closed, was peacefully sleeping in our living-room. Around that time, I, who was a regular student, started making music, and instead of going to cram school to study I spent my time in my room by myself, being creative.
During that time, my beloved pet dog Samna was my irreplaceable best friend who listened to my worries and complaints and even accepted me when I felt down.

I hope that when the time comes that Samna is no longer by my side, my memories with Samna will remain in this song. I hope that when listening to it, I will remember the many days we spent going on walks together.
Creating this song made me even happier and was more meaningful because I did so with my close friend and beloved Hyoseob-hyung. He is a great artist and truly loves his puppy, raising it well.

The message I would like to convey to many people with this song is that our pets love us unconditionally. I hope that no one hurts them through irresponsible actions. This is something we should keep in mind. Through efforts like this I hope that we’ll become more mature, and be aware of and deepen our love for animals.

In this world, this is very easy to forget. The pets of this world make us feel sincereness and love. In this song, I’ve expressed my gratefulness for the pure love they have shown us, and I hope that my message will reach the listeners.

Samna, I love you, always and forever!”

Swings - Upgrade III (album cover)

Swings releases fifth full-length album ‘Upgrade III’

Swings’ ‘Upgrade III‘ LP features talented producers like IOAH, GRAY, and Nochang, as well as rappers and singers DEAN, The Quiett, Giriboy, Colde, Verbal Jint, and more.

In 2008, Swings released his debut album ‘Upgrade’ with the wish to bring progress to the Korean hiphop scene. In 2011, he released ‘Upgrade II’ with the intent to offer comfort regarding people’s experiences with society.

Seven years later, as CEO of Just Music and Indigo Music, as artist Swings and man Jihoon Moon, he is releasing the third part of the series to overcome psychological conflicts he has experienced due to many incidents in his changing environment.
Unlike its daring and vigorous predecessors, this album is steadier and more mature, but also includes a fresh new element as Swings tries himself at trap music for the first time.

The participating producers in this album include: Kim Shin (김신), who recently produced one track off Osshun Gum‘s ‘Young Wave‘ and one off JUSTHIS and Paloalto‘s ‘4 the Youth‘ LP; IOAH of LIVOFFMND, who already worked with Swings on ‘Mood Swings 2 Part 3: Psychotherapy‘; Squabby Doo, the producer behind BILL STAX, Cjamm, and Swings’ ‘GOAT‘; the well-proven dream team GRAY and DAX; and Swings’ label mate Nochang.

The featured artists include Cozyboys Kid Milli, NO:EL, and Tommy $trate; offonoff‘s Colde, DEAN, as well as established rappers The Quiett and Giriboy. Fans will especially enjoy the collaboration between Swings and Verbal Jint in the title track.

On Instagram, Swings writes: “I’d like to thank everyone who has been helping me all this time. My sincere gratitude[.] When I made this album I went through a very hard time, eventually making this album my resolution to overcome it all[.] I hope that [this album] will be of help to everyone who is currently or in the future battling feelings like mine. I am very happy lately and I am rediscovering myself. In this sense, I once again thank each and every one for becoming my teacher [in life]. I won’t become someone who is all talk but I will keep doing art and prove myself. I Love Hip Hop! #thankyouforsavingmylife”

The LP is going to be available on iTunes/Apple Music; the release time can differ depending on country.
