Have you ever felt the need to vent to someone about your worries but just haven’t found the perfect person who would calmly listen and validate your feelings? Perhaps, work got in the way of some much-needed catharsis! If so, you’ve come to the right place.
We’ve got the perfect Korean rap/hip-hop playlist for you to headbang to so that you can release those pent-up emotions. 10/10, better than a friend. Jo YooJung from “Business Proposal” would definitely approve!
Yoon MiRae - ‘KawiBawiBo’
The power anthem of a generation, Yoon MiRae’s ‘KawiBawiBo’ will get adrenaline pumping through your veins with how energetic and liberating it is. There couldn’t possibly be a better start to a K-Hip Hop playlist than this song.
EPIK HIGH - ‘No Thanxxx’ ft. WINNER’s Mino, Simon Dominic, The Quiett
Keep the boss energy going with ‘No Thanxxx’ by EPIK HIGH featuring WINNER’s Mino, Simon Dominic, and The Quiett. Now, this is a dream rap collaboration if we’ve ever seen one.
MONSTA X’s JooHoney - ‘Dia’
With JooHoney’s witty lyrics and unbeatable flow, let ‘Dia’ be a reminder that despite all the pressures you might be facing, you were born to shine bright like a diamond. We can’t help but thank JooHoney for blessing us with this absolute bop. All hail JooHoney, One Hunnit!
Agust D - ‘Daechwita’
Switch things up with a taste of Korean royalty: Agust D (aka BTS’ Suga), and his iconic ‘Daechwita’. This is a song that dives deep into how one’s own psyche can turn on them if left to fester in negativity. Only when you truly believe in yourself can you be the real King and this song is perfect to announce your arrival.
Lee YoungJi - ‘I Am Lee Young Ji’
Lee YoungJi spits fire in this incredible self-portrait of a song as she highlights the importance of looking at the big picture. You might not be feeling your best right now, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re a brilliant human being and that’s something YoungJi will make sure you never forget.
Drunken Tiger - ‘Yet’
Nothing hits harder than the pure poetry that is Drunken Tiger’s music. Tiger JK is the godfather of Korean hip-hop, after all! If you’re looking for some tough love and inspiration, ‘Yet’ is the song for you!
The Quiett, Sik-K, Beenzino, Changmo - ‘The Fearless Ones’
Four of the most influential rappers in the K-Hip Hop industry came together to create the ‘The Fearless Ones’. This collaboration is nothing short of legendary, and the song makes you feel like you’re a part of the clique too! A little flexing never hurt anybody!
iKON’s Bobby - ‘U Mad’
Finally, closing out this playlist on the highest note possible is the most satisfying diss track of all time, ‘U Mad’ by iKON’s Bobby. Just like Bobby’s unstoppable flow, you too, are invincible. The world is yours for the taking, and Bobby is coming along for the ride. Did you enjoy this week’s Mood Playlist? You can request a playlist in the comments down below!
