YunB releases first mini album ‘YunB’
YunB of Hi-Lite Records has released his first EP titled ‘YunB’ as well as the music video for the title track ‘2099 (Feat. Kid Travis & MaseWonder)’.
YunB was born in New York, then went to elementary and middle school in Seoul and returned to New York for high school and university. His debut album ‘YunB’ reflects his current self, the various experiences and feelings he gained from the two cities New York and Seoul.
Hiphop has become the lifestyle of many young people in the world. YunB naturally came into contact with the hiphop culture in New York and grew up alongside hiphop fans. Maybe that is why his music is so straightforward and organicly vivid. As he raps in ‘New York II’ and ’50K’, to him music is not something that was intentionally made by imitating someone else but a natural by-product of the process of accepting and learning the hiphop music and culture.
In the heartless, fierce city life of chasing success, the track ‘산인’ (lit.: mountain folks) opens the eyes to the importance and beauty of nature. This remarkable topic of the title track is continued similarly in ‘Ritalin’. The track mixes the life of constantly seeking something new and the true inner feelings that deny this. YunB’s English and YonYon‘s Japanese rap make for a profound and mysterious combination that creates a dreamy atmosphere. This unique atmosphere that can be called YunB’s signature sound can be heard in the whole album, including ‘Skrt’ and ‘U’. A dreamy progress of chords topped by a strong beat and rapping seems to represent the life of the young generation that grows up in the busy city, bearing dreams and love.
YunB produced and mixed this EP himself, including as much of his style as possible. Last year he debuted with the single ‘Runaway, Pt. 1‘, then continuously released several more singles and music videos. With his first EP in his name ‘YunB‘, he keeps reinforcing his own philosophy and creativity.

Triump releases first mini album ‘Day To Day’
Triump has released the mini album ‘Day To Day‘ which features amongst others FANA, Deepflow, and Geegooin.
This album is the result of many thoughts and questions that Triump continually posed himself while releasing single after single, and the EP is through and through studded with Triump’s thoughts and intentions, from its artwork to its beats.
Seeing how our lives repeat themselves a bit differently every day, he created each of the five songs realistically similar but different, each emitting another type of emotion. You will be able to relate deeply to the album which depicts the start of a day until its end and the thoughts and feelings one has when today becomes tomorrow.
The stories are about our daily life of wanting to be at ease but still having to abide by social obligations.
The EP was entirely produced by EachONE, who imbued Triump’s music style into the beats with the help of a lot of conversations and discussions.
