[Intro] Paloalto: There is a lot to be learned from his music. / I think he is this generation’s new A Tribe Called Quest.
[Text] Which rappers do the greatest rappers of South Korea respect?

Huckleberry P: Hello. (laughs)
Palo: Hello. We’re seeing each other often.
Huck P: He’s my boss, this is a bit difficult … (laughs)

Huck P: How come you’re interested in DJing these days?
Palo: I do like listening to music and I listen to various genres. I often thought that it would be great if I played music and many other people enjoyed it together with me, sharing that feeling. For example, Q-Tip, who I respect in the US scene, raps and composes and does DJing. There is no rule or anything that says I can only rap, and to me hiphop is my life, so …

Huck P: What does ‘respect’ mean to you?
Palo: To me, respect among musicians is to like the others music and to value their musicality.

Huck P: As the “Master” today, who is the rapper you respect?
Palo: Thank you for considering me a “Master.”
Huck P: Of course you are! Our country’s “Master” MC. (laughs awkwardly)
Palo: Yeah, so thank you for that. This artist, I think he has all the basics down. YunB raps, does DJing, he understands the harmony between rapping and the beat and really knows how to make music. I think he is this generation’s new A Tribe Called Quest.
Huck P: Wow, that is a huge compliment!
Palo: Yes, he might feel burdened by this but I wanted to introduce him with style to many people.

Palo: Let’s listen to YunB together, the rapper I respect!
