SLEEQ - MA GIRLS (album cover)

SLEEQ releases single and MV ‘MA GIRLS’

The “female MC from hell,” SLEEQ, has released ‘MA GIRLS’, a tribute of courage to her girls.

With her first full-length album ‘COLOSSUS‘, and the mixtape ‘FOMMY HILTIGER‘ together with Don Malik, rapper SLEEQ of daze alive music has gained herself an unrivaled position in the Korean hiphop scene.

In 2016 she made an appearance on Mic Swagger II alongside Don Malik where she called herself “hella feminist,” making a statement about the discrimination of women and sexual minorities.

Her new single ‘MA GIRLS’ is a track she first performed in Daegu on March 8 at an event celebrating International Women’s Day. It is a passionate slogan dedicated to feminism, a topic that has recently risen to one of the central issues in South Korean society. From her own point of view and in her own words, SLEEQ says: “We will become each other’s courage.”
On the at times melancholic but strong and at other times eloquent beat, SLEEQ dedicates her rap to all the women who helped her gain courage to raise her voice.

Jerry.k - You're Not A Man (Feat. Rico) cover

Jerry.k releases new single ‘You’re Not A Man (Feat. Rico)’

In 2012, many loved and identified with Jerry.k’s “You’re Not A Lady” with its insightful lyrics and the extremely appealing vocals of Zion.T over Gray’s groovy beat. Now the song’s successor has come with “You’re Not a Man (feat. Rico)”.

Jerry.k has recently addressed and apologized for the fact that a component of the song is discrimination against women, so with this new track he looks into the gender issue from another point of view. “Men have to be like this or that,” he questions these definitions of a desirable life for men, the so-called “Man Box”, and emphasizes that living life outside of those set ideas will bring greater freedom to both men and women.

“You’re Not A Man” was produced by Humbert who has shown great chemistry with Jerry.k with the recent singles “Believe”, “Studio Gangstas” and more, the track also features R&B singer Rico who is also Jerry.k’s labelmate from daze alive. Do check out their perfect harmony! The single is available on iTunes!
