Cy’s Top 10 Hip-Hop & R&B Albums of 2019

Another year. Another crop of extraordinary hip-hop and R&B albums from South Korea. To keep things simple (and as a challenge to myself), I decided to consolidate these lists into one ultimate list of Top 10 albums from the country. So without any more preamble, I give you my list!

“I’m a Simple Guy”: An Interview with Samuel Seo

To be honest, when I started writing this interview, I wasn’t sure what direction I wanted to take it. How much should I really reveal here? Believe me, I went back and forth about this. Samuel Seo has everything I love in an artist: fearlessness, passion, and a big mouth. But how do I show that honestly without potentially getting him in some hot water? I found my answer in something he said to me during our conversation: “I’m just being honest, sis.”
