May I say how much I love this dorky trio? Epik High, people!! XD *cheers*
I guess I don't need to tell you who they are since you can just go to wikipedia or google. But let me introduce each member. From L to R: DJ Tukutz, Tablo (leader & rapper), Mithra Jin (rapper).
There are many reasons why I like this trio. Firstly, they're not your typical mainstream artist. Secondly, they voiced their thoughts freely through their music without filtering their words and didn't bother if theirs songs were banned on tv and/or radio (there's always YouTube). Thirdly, they're just plain dorks. Fourthly, they're not afraid to experiment with music. And finally, they're 100% authentic and talented.
They just released a new album called, "Map The Soul". I guess it's kinda like a continuation from their "Map The Human Soul" and "Remapping the Human Soul" albums. And the songs - well, the title says it all. But for the project of this album, they went all the way by distributing the book+album themselves just to cut off the price for their fans...aww, they're so sweet!! X3 And even better, the album is bilingual to cater all of their fans worldwide. But the thing is, you can't find it in any music stores. The album is sold exclusively on their website @ www.mapthesoul.com and payment can only be made via credit card (VISA, MasterCard)... Hm, it sounds like as if I'm promoting them XDD. Oh well~~
Oh, and they're having an online showcase at the website as well. They'll perform all songs on the album (except for instrumentals, skit, and bonus track) right in their recording studio.
I fell in love with the boys when I listened to their "Pieces, Part One" album. It was "Usan (Umbrella)" that caught my ears, where they're featuring Younha. And notice that they have done a lot of collaborations with underground artists, which I think is very interesting and uncommon in Korean music industry. So, for those who'd prefer quality of music over looks, this is the group for you!
