Rapid rapper Outsider and beatbox musician 2Tak have formed the project team “Octagon” and released their first project single “Gladiator” together with MC Meta and Koonta on November 28. A making-of video with interviews has now been released as well.

Unlike other Korean hiphop duos, Octagon is made up of a rapper and a beatboxer, so you can expected various kinds of performances and collaborations with diverse artists. The first single is made up of the title track “Gladiator” and “Octagon (Beatbox Remix)” and has been released at midnight between November 27 and 28.
The teaser has already been out for a while (see below) and now, a making-of video has come out as well. It includes interviews with MC Meta and Koonta who featured on the single.

Octagon’s single “Gladiator” has been played worldwide during the UFC Fight Night in Seoul at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena as the entry music for main card fighter Choi Dooho.
Outsider and 2Tak are planning to start official activities as Octagon with a tour at the beginning of next year in Seoul, Daejeon, Daegu, Busan, Gwangju, and nationwide clubs.

Outsider to release 4th album in July

After 3 years of hiatus, Outsider is returning to the Korean hip-hop scene with his 4th album in July. Prior to completing his military service last September, Outsider was active in the music scene with his tracks Acquaintance (주변인), Piero’s Tears (피에로의 눈물), and of course Loner (외톨이).  After 3 years of hiatus, Outsider–spitting 21 syllables per second–plans to return to the hip-hop scene this summer.

Heavily influenced by writers Virginia Woolf and Edgar Allen Poe, Outsider comments that his upcoming album will step out of the boundary of ordinary hip-hop music and will be themed around “Loneliness, Yearning, and Rebirth”.  The album is produced by Team 클래스S and mastered by Stuart Hawkes, who has worked with several musicians in the past, notably Amy Winehouse and Mika Nakashima.

Outsider’s comeback performance–featuring Lee Hyundo, MC Meta, Baechigi, and Lexy–will be on MNET Show Me The Money 2.
