During the 2017 SXSW Conference and Festivals, I had the opportunity to sit down and interview with Feel Ghood Music artists Tiger JK, Yoonmirae, Bizzy, Ann One and Junoflo, who poured out their energy and moved the crowd of Korean music fans at K-Pop Night Out held at The Belmont. We discussed topics including the globalization of Korean hip-hop music, the difference between Feel Ghood Music and Ghood Life Crew, as well as exclusives from each artist on their upcoming music.
