SXSW 2019: Who We're Excited to See

SXSW Spotlight: Who We’re Excited to See

South by Southwest has invited a number of Korean hip-hop and R&B artists to spotlight. The likes of Epik High, MFBTY, and Crush have all left their unique stamp on the festival. In 2019, the range and diversity of hip-hop and R&B acts has only broadened. Here I give a sneak peek into who I’m really excited to see (and who you should probably check out as well).

Owen Ovadoz drops second full-length album and music video ‘changes’

MKIT RAIN Records’ Owen Ovadoz has released his second full-length album ‘changes‘ today along with the music video of its title track. Support comes from producers Candid Creation, Marcus, APRO, and Optical Eyez XL, as well as from rappers pH-1, Loopy, EK, and Yohan.

Owen Ovadoz gave his debut with the release of his mixtape ‘P.O.E.M.‘ in 2016. In August last year, the MKIT RAIN artist dropped his first full-length album ‘Problematic‘.

For his second LP, the rapper joined hands with producer Candid Creation again. A few of the tracks were produced by Marcus, two by Optical Eyez XL, and the title track ‘changes’ by APRO. The featured artists include Owen’s label mate Loopy, H1GHR MUSIC’s pH-1 who has been working with Owen since ‘P.O.E.M.’, and Most Badass Asian‘s EK.

Pre-sales for the album started ten days ago via the likes of Interpark and YES24. Until the LP is available on international music portals, check out the music video of the title track below!
