In May the Khiphop flowers bloomed on SoundCloud: mixtapes, beat tapes, and a lot of official releases can now be listened to for free so check them out!
Ja Mezz is here with a new digital single featuring Cjamm and produced by Dakshood!
In high school at the age of ‘17‘, Ja Mezz drew the artwork you can see on the album cover. Already back then he was different and eccentric, and he is still living an extraordinary life.
Check out the music video below, do note though that it does not include Cjamm’s verse!
On the last day of 2016, TakeOne (real name: Kim Tae-gyoon) of Grandline Entertainment returned with a full-length album.
The artist has invested four years of work into the album whose lyrics are written entirely in Korean. The word ‘green’ in the title ‘Green Ideology‘ may be interpreted amongst others as representing nature or money and each track unravels another interpretation within the spectrum of those two topics. While the producers who participated are all famous and talented artists, the only performing rapper is TakeOne himself.

Jin Doggae has released his first mini album ‘광견병 (Rabies) Part 1′ at midnight from May 12 to May 13, along with the music video for the title track ‘Diving (Feat. VEN)’ .
Jin Doggae has released his first single after announcing his leave from Finest Records and going independent.
He got the idea for ‘가면’ [Mask] from seeing people use ‘masks’ to hide their flaws or weaknesses. In the track, he puts focus on the problematic contradiction that one wants to live honestly but also hide one’s bad sides.
As for the producing, he received support from his Krosshartz crew-mate Dakshood, who completed the track more multi-facetedly and consistently than Jin Doggae’s earlier works.
