RHYME-A- - NAS (album cover)

RHYME-A- raps about Night And Stories in new ‘NAS’ LP

Veteran artist RHYME-A- has released his third full-length album, ‘NAS’ (Night And Stories), today.

RHYME-A- (read: rhyme attack) is a veteran in the Korean hip-hop scene. He was once part of Soul Company and a member of Noise Mob and Speaking Trumpet. Currently, he is in Bullhandang Crew alongside other veteran artists and has founded his one-man label NBA (Natural Born Artist) Music.
His 2006 debut album ‘Story at Night’ (originally created in 2003) was highly popular and many consider it to be one of the best albums in the scene. RHYME-A- released two LPs, in 2009 and 2015 respectively. In 2016 he celebrated ten years of ‘Story at Night’, releasing a remastered version of the album.

In June this year, RHYME-A- made a comeback with the single ‘APOLLO KID‘, the first pre-release off his third LP. Last month, he also pre-released ‘영화광(movie fan).
Today, the whole album with its ten tracks has come out. Producers Mild Beats, retroFUTURE, and Pe2ny have created classic sounds, with support by DJ Kendrickx. Especially long-time fans of Korean hip-hop will enjoy the solid storytelling and old-school flow. RHYME-A- tells true stories, various things he experienced in the years from 1991 to 2001.

RHYME-A- - Story At Night: 10th Anniversary (cover)

RHYME-A- releases ‘Story At Night: 10th Anniversary’

To celebrate ten years since the release of his debut EP ‘Story At Night’, RHYME-A- has released a remastered version of his masterpiece, befittingly titled ‘Story At Night: 10th Anniversary’.

Compact storytelling and perfected rap make it hard to believe that ‘Story At Night’ is a debut album. It came out in 2003, first distributed online for free, and received great love from critics and fans. Three years later in 2006, an unprecedented incident took place: due to the fans’ request, the album was officially released on CD and at the same time completely sold out. It is one of the greatest albums of Korean hiphop.

The remastered version has an even deeper sound, includes two new songs, and shines with new artwork. RHYME-A- has worked amongst others with producer Mild Beats and DJ Dopsh to recreate his masterpiece. Give it a listen to experience the past and the present of Korean hiphop with ‘Story At Night: 10th Anniversary’.

It may take a few days until the album is available on iTunes.
