Huckleberry P releases mini album ‘Dot’ and ‘Dalmatian’ MV

Today, Huckleberry P has released a new EP titled ‘점 (Dot)‘ as well as the music video for the EP’s title track ‘달마시안 (Dalmatian)‘.

Musician Huckleberry P who can escape any restraint. He has been showing the broad spectrum of music through his own singles and albums of course and also through other projects, for example as part of Pinodyne with Soul Fish and through the ‘Get Backers‘ album with Suda. His career that started with freestyle rap in the street is taking step after step towards the top, past many events like his ‘분신’ Concert which is one of the best Korean hiphop concerts.
In an interview, the artist said, “I have come here due to and for the sake of the simple fun that music brings.” After the release of his first full-length album ‘gOld‘, he fell into a deep slump. The duty to make music not for his own enjoyment but for the public to listen to distressed him. In order to communicate better with both his long-time listeners as well as his new listeners and find insights that both can relate to better, he needed to try something entirely new.
The first result of that try and Huckleberry P’s efforts is ‘점 (Dot)‘, an album that tells of the general same subject from different points of view. Starting with the track ‘Everest‘, which was released as a single last year, one track after the other was finished. They are about the artist’s own life that is greater than his music, and about reality that is greater than dreams. Within this topic, Huckleberry P changes to being the narrator and acts responsibly. The perfect songs for Huckleberry P’s honest narrations were prepared by producer Humbert. His contribution to the album is great as he produced all tracks. Starting from the intro track ‘Base Camp’ over the solemn-sounding ‘Everest’ to the final track ‘Dalmatian’, his careful sounds do not trail off the album’s overall topic and atmosphere for even one bit.
‘점 (Dot)’ is an album that stands out for its tracks’ and lyrics’ unity to express one topic very precisely. The individuals that appear in the lyrics and their stories are rather ordinary, but they are a perfect substitute for all our lives and realities. The stories are about someone who gave up on their dream, someone who is frustrated, someone in a conflict, etc., but there is not one tragic story. In the title track ‘Dalmatian’ which is also the last track of the album, Huckleberry P says: All we do is restlessly gather dots that are scattered complicatedly and endlessly and use them to mold ourselves and the great life around us.
Let us all prick our ears to find out which message Huckleberry P is delivering to us with the word ‘Dot’.

Huckleberry P’s new mini album ‘점 (Dot)’ is available on iTunes.

Hook)
At the table is only our family (B-Free: Hi-Lite)
When I eat, my whole family eats too
By any means, me and my team
We gon’ get it, get it

B-Free)
Wit my team, wit my team, wit my team
Wit my team, yeah
Wit my team, wit my team, wit my team
Wit my team, yeah, yeah, yeah (G2: Hi-Lite)

Verse 1: B-Free)
At the table is only our family
Getting cream, riding with my team, The Fast and the Furious
If you’re not part of my team, fuck off, my mood right now
Who the fuck are y’all, who the fuck is you? (Hah?)

We don’t know y’all, we be getting mula
We be getting big like we doing pull ups, line up behind us
You don’t want us to pull up and start a problem
Our family, we’re our own cooks, yeah, like Samsung

Hi-Lite, we’re like a major company
Give it up, all you mutherfuckers better ante up
We eat tasty food, y’all eat shit
Good fellas getting that chedda man, why you haters jealous

Verse 2)
A group with one thing in common
When I’ve eaten my fill then my family has to be full too, logic
When I eat, my family gotta eat too
We’re not blood-related but we’re a family sharing the same livelihood

We’re not blood-related but we bleed for our team
If you mess with my team, I’ll do something you can’t handle
In our squad we trust, victory is ours
God is on our side, we clink glasses and shout “Hallelujah!”

Sorry to y’all but I’m not sorry
If you mention our name, your name will be on our menu
A banquet on the table for life
Welcome to our house, welcome to Hi-Lite, yeah

Hook)
At the table is only our family
We look after all our family members’ meals, uh
When I eat, my whole family eats too
By any means, me and my team we gon’ get it, get it

B-Free)
Wit my team, wit my team, wit my team
Wit my team, yeah, (G2:) we gon’ get it, get it
Wit my team, wit my team, wit my team
Wit my team, yeah, (G2:) we gon’ get it, get it

Verse 3: Okasian)
We don’t share any blood
but we have the same father((This and the following two lines are similar to Okasian’s lyrics in ‘Turtle Ship Remix‘: The rest remains and we have the same father
We stole the loser rappers’ money and divided it all
We shared all of it, we hold a party, you’re uninvited))
All the rest remains
and we shared it amongst us

Fuck the other side
Till the day I die
If you’re fake then just tell me the budget
Fucking beggar, I know what you’re about

Verse 4: Reddy)
Check out who’ll be driving in my Mohenic next year
I told you I’ll let my brothers drive with me
One after the other, I make my wishes come true
On concert-free weekends I go to Haeundae to chill

High like our company, that’s my mood lately
Different mothers but they’re all members of my family
We ignore the retards and keep winning, man
Everyday you deny and hate this situation

With my team, with my team, having fun no matter where
Palo-hyung has found wild ginseng,((“심봤지” (shim bwatji, “I’ve found wild ginseng”) is an exclamation used by ginseng diggers when searching for wild ginseng in the mountains. They used to go around in a group and when someone found wild ginseng, that person would shout “shim bwatji” three times and could then claim their finding. The others had to keep their hands off of it, unless they had previously agreed to share.
Here, this is used as a metaphor to describe the value of Hi-Lite Records which Paloalto is the CEO of.)) I contribute to that belief,((Implying that he is a precious discovery)) yeah
I walked slowly and came until here
I’ll keep heating things up, just like long pants in midsummer

Verse 5: Huckleberry P)
The size of the rice bowl or how to hold the spoon,
that’s all up to the individual. But more important is
that we only put on our table those who we’ve personally caught
That is the difference between us and any Tom, Dick, or Harry

They live in one house and eat together: family
The reason why I sit on my ass here:
I feel pride, [as] one part of these great people
Your guys’ envy and jealousy can’t change my mood

Ah yeah, H.I.L.I.T.E. y’all
You know you can’t fuck with my team((Reference to B-Free’s ‘My Team (Feat. Reddy, Okasian, Huckleberry P, Paloalto, Keith Ape) ))
You will never be able to put your spoon on our table
As someone said, everyone except my family is my enemy, fuck all y’all

Hook)

Verse 6: Paloalto)
My phone is ringing again, it’s Djanga-hyung’s name [on the screen].
This week again, like last week, we go up on stage
I feel sorry for my wife, for leaving her alone with Monk((Their dog who got his name from jazz pianist Thelonious Monk))
The three of us are going to have fun together next week

Fuckers who weren’t interested before keep provoking me
because they don’t have anything else to do
There’s a lot I have to look out for, I love the members of my family
Love is always number one, oh, God

I pray, grateful for all of this
Even though life gets better, I don’t settle for that
Just like in the past five years, I won’t be stoppable from now on either
Love, hate, they coexist at the place we’re going to

Our goal is the whole world, yes I’m an asshole
A guy like me starts a car with an AMG engine
My cousin has gotten more friends thanks to me((Paloalto once uploaded a screenshot of a chat with his cousin to proof to his cousin’s friends that they’re cousins.))
I use my fame to look after my family

Outro: Sway D)
Sukhyun((Song Sukhyun is Sway D’s real name)) is my friend
G2 is my friend too
Hi-Lite, my family
We don’t share any blood but [we live] under one roof, family
