VMC’s “fresh blood” ODEE has released his first EP album ‘SLY‘ today along with the title track’s music video.
The album is made up of eight tracks that were all produced by BUGGY. Plus featurings by Nucksal, Don Mills, Wutan, Hwaji, and MBA ek. The music video for ‘Open Ending’ is already out, and a hilarious teaser for the upcoming music video for ‘Drop (Feat. Nucksal)’ as well. Both music videos feature VMC artists.
Nahzam Sue, leader of the soul/funk band Sultan of the Disco, has released the full-length album ‘Till The Sun Goes Up’ as well as the title track’s music video which features VMC’s Nucksal.
You might know the very talented artist as a composer, producer, engineer, designer, or even music video director. ‘Till The Sun Goes Up’ is his first solo full-length album and the only featured artist on the whole album is Nucksal. The funky song and the b-boy zombies are greatly entertaining, and you can spot not only Nucksal but also his VMC mates Deepflow and Don Mills, as well as singer Jang Kiha, as groovy zombie boys. (If you’re interested in the talented dance crew, head over to Nahzam Sue’s Instagram where he has listed all of their profiles.)

Vismajor Company’s CEO and musician Deepflow has released the single ‘강변북로 (KBBL)’ today.
KBBL stands for ‘Kang Byun Book Lo’, a romanization of the Korean title which literally means ‘The Gangbyeon Expressway’. This track with its old-school sound was produced by newcomer Young Jay and describes the VMC members’ excitement as they are in a car driving to a concert venue.

VMC‘s one and only Don Mills has released his first full-length album today. ‘미래 (MEERAE)’ (Future) presents the next generation a new future.
When saying that “Don Mills is a rapper who clearly has his own style!” is there anyone who would not agree?
In the last few years, the trend of trap beats, the repetition of single words (where opinions diverge) and one-dimensional rap have spread throughout the world-wide hiphop scenes. Within, Don Mills has shown a distinct difference to other rappers who are busy trying to copy Don Mills’ unique explosive energy and rough voice as well as his melodic hooks.
Also, Don Mills clearly knows his expressions and grammar.
His punchlines like “The wheel of fortune turns, Kim Yuna,” are one-dimensional but sharp and have created hit songs like ‘88‘, ‘강백호 (Kang Baek Ho)‘. From zero to hero, he featured on tracks of the crème de la crème in the Korean hiphop scene like Beenzino, Zico, and Gary, and has become an icon. Don Mills’ wit is not only audible in his music but also when he moderates the Hiphop Playa Radio show with Nucksal.
How does the future that Don Mills brings you look like?
In this album, he roughly and straightforwardly spreads out the future he pictures. The title track ‘MEERAE‘ was daringly placed at the very beginning of the album and starts by revealing Don Mills’ aspirations for the future, his certainty about succeeding, his confidence as a rapper, his values regarding music, reminisces of the past, and more. His very own ‘blueprint’ and life are packed into twelve tracks.
Not only Don Mills’ VMC labelmates Deepflow, Nucksal, and ODEE, but also Dok2 and BewhY who can both currently be seen on SMTM5, Just Music’s “First of Fury” VASCO, captain of the 27 pirates Buckwilds’ JTONG, and son of Deokso CHANGMO all participated in describing Don Mills’ vision of the future.
One charm of the album that you should especially not miss out on is Don Mills’ rap technique that has been relatively devaluated. He tries himself at new aspects of the rap spectrum, like irregular rhythm and tongue twisters. Due to his image of being a refreshing character and the trap-specific repetitive lyrics and flow, this album will win over Korean hiphop fans’ favor.
Since Show Me The Money, countless rappers have knocked on the doors of TV stations for the sake of fame. While fellow rappers either succeed or fail in the show and prepare for a new try, Don Mills has patiently cultivated his skills of making music and albums, waiting for the right time.
His first full-length album ‘미래 (MEERAE)’ is the fruit of the silent efforts he has been making since his debut and it will be remembered as the hot summerly present to all the hiphop fans who had been waiting for an outstanding rookie’s well-made album.
