Band Hyukoh

So now there is this band that I am currently into. I first knew about Hyukoh through his association with Mino from Winner and I thought damn! that’s one sexy mofo but that did not interest me enough to listen to the band’s music. But then Infinite Challenge came round and they made Hyukoh sing a few lines from their songs and I went absolute batshit crazy like “rolling on the floor jumping on the bed punching through walls” kinda crazy coz DAMN!! I love their sound.

And now they are signed with Tablo’s HIGHGRND whoooooooooo!!! Now lemme make a quick compilation of their songs and I swear every song is absolutely awesome! (though I lowkey wish there will be less English lines in their lyrics but that’s just me ._.)

SMTM 4

So I am probably going to have a lot of complaints about SMTM 4 just like I have a lot of problems with the previous season and unpretty rapstar. But it doesn't usually stop me from enjoying the shows nonetheless.

I cannot wait for this season. With all the rappers confirmed to participate and the judging panel (lol I already have complaints about the judges hahaha) but I love them all. I am personally a fan of all of them except maybe San E, and then Mino is going to be there and Jooheon (I still haven’t made up my mind about him, I hope he doesn't use problematic language again and learned from his mistakes), and P-Type and Black Nut and arghhhhh seriously I cannot fucking wait!!

Haven’t been online lately. Lots of updates to do. I know I still haven’t finished on e.Via a.k.a. Tymee’s discography but ughhhhh it seems to be all different versions of ‘Can I rap?’ Now don’t get me wrong, I love the song, and I love her raps, but there are at least 3 versions of it in every album and I am like... should I even bother posting these.

And next will be Cheetah. She ain’t got a lot of songs, but she has done a lot of collaborations in SMTM and stuff and I think I will compile those. And my lyrics translation has not even started. I don’t even know where to start. /sigh/

GIRIBOY – Adult

Are you still doing that thing？ I’m still doing that thing. I’m really happy and I’m doing well in my own way but I have so many thoughts that I can’t sleep at night. You, who are nothing special to me, You, who I forgot and didn’t think about because I was so busy. It’s all...

Tymee

This time I wanna focus on Korean Female Rappers. I wanna start with E.via a.k.a Tymee. I should probably start with Tasha a.k.a Yoon Mirae but she’s uber famous right now and I am sure others have blogged about her extensively and way more knowledgeable than me so... yeah 

One thing I loved about Tymee is that her face is so absolutely cute and adorable but then she opens her mouth and all this explicit stuff comes out and we’re like WOAH!! haha I mean, seriously, from screencaps of her videos and album cover, whodathunk right? This is one of the things I love about women (do I sound okay? lol) Anyway, TYMEE!!!
