Music is a cornerstone of black culture. R&B is a descendant of the Negro spiritual. Hip hop is the voice of black and brown youth. Both genres come from great struggle. They’re voices for the disenfranchised, the exploited, the abused, and murdered. R&B and hip hop have become worldwide influences for all cultures and people. This, of course, includes the people of South Korea. Many singers, rappers, producers, songwriters, and composers gain inspiration from these genres and as a result profit from black culture and black fans.
BORN CTZN‘s Year of the Ox, who are Lyricks and JL, have released their single “Run Amuck” in Korea today, which was produced by Big Banana.
It’s once again en vouge to make lists of top rappers. This is a past time as old as pen and paper. People making lists of their favorite things, and in this case favorite MCs. However, I think the sudden resurgence of “Best MCs” lists in the past few months started after Jermaine Dupri‘s indictment of rappers, particularly female rappers, post-1995.
Hip hop duo YEAR OF THE OX of BORN CTZN have released a new single and music video today. “Twilight Zone” features DJ Zo.
The Year of the Ox embraces the supernatural with a video for their new single, “Twilight Zone.” Styled after the iconic series, the Virginia duo go from clean cut Rod Sterling suits to looking progressively unhinged as they deliver otherworldly bars. The manic production by Lou Koo and Cambo complements the subject material well and cuts from DJ Zo only heighten the effect. Stay tuned.

There’s nothing pretty or soft about Foreigner. Dumbfoundead is savage in a way that will have those with weak constitutions clutching their pearls. No one would ever accuse the artist of being anything but raw and honest. But Foreigner finds him at his most vicious and impassioned. There’s a distinct bite and snarl across these five tracks, something that’s a sharper at the edges than much that’s come out South Korea this year. He claws his way into the listener’s psyche. You must deal with him. We have no room here for the narrow- and frail-minded. There’s obviously something to going back to one’s ancestral homeland to create.
