![]() ![]() Next thing they know, he's captured by the cops. They drive away with the product and then see the lights of a cop car behind them. PENOMECO (with crazy, messy, blue hair) is in the cab with the driver. He's also being interrogated by the cops. Then the rapper's unconscious body is thrown into the water. He's taken to a boat, and a bag's pulled over his head to suffocate him. And it flashes between what happened then, and him giving his account to the cops.Ĭhoiza is one of the guys who strung Gaeko up, having sampled the product to make sure it's pure. When he comes to, he's upside down, still rapping (which is semi-comical). Gaeko is the one who starts it out, pulling a kilo brick of cocaine out of his duffle bag, and getting hit on the back of the head. All of them have been caught, and all of them are being questioned as to their involvement. The three principal players in this MV for " MSG," - namely Gaeko, Choiza, and PENOMECO - are thugs, drug dealers. It's not the album of the year or anything, but I treasure any chance I get to hear some Korean hip-hop. If this doesn't chart, I'll be surprised. Jam-packed with songs, and a little something for everyone on here. We've only had singles since 2015, so this album is a welcome change. They structured the raps to accommodate it, but I still wasn't that much of a fan. I'm not averse to singing, but sometimes it just doesn't feel right. " Flash/That's It" is another one in that same vein. It's a previously released track, back from 2018. After hearing non-stop rap, it's a little jarring to hear actual singing, and I'm not a fan of the falsetto, either. It's basically slow R&B, and easily the weakest track on here. Sung to an acoustic guitar, " Hemi's Room" starts out slow. And it was good to hear a new one from Swings. But it goes along with it well, despite my issues. They take up way too much time with the autotune, where we could hear something more authentic. The first verse of " GoodFellas" is autotuned, down-pitched. He does a good job, spitting his raps like a machine gun. Now, " MSG" has PENOMECO as a guest rapper, who some might remember from his collabs with Drunken Tiger and MFBTY (maybe that's just me). And an argument with a girlfriend makes it on here as well. And the chorus is uncharacteristically smooth. It's a fun melody with a piano backing track. They don't get really serious on this LP anyway, but this is more of that. " Please Baby Don’t" is a more playful tune. For those who don't know, he was the idol in the late 80's-early 90's who the girls were drooling over. The interesting thing about this one is that the intro is an autotuned, heavily-distorted sample of a song by none other than Seo Taiji. " Livin' the Life" should be self-explanatory. The comedy is only natural since this track features funnyman Yoo Byungjae. ![]() I love the growly voice in this one, even it is deliberately exaggerated. Needless to say, he doesn't get very far. The guy keeps trying to record a rap track and is constantly interrupted by his family and even a phone call at the end. Different from 50 Cent's offering of the same name, " Massacre" is played entirely for laughs. It's okay, but not my favorite song on here. It's a pensive melody, with lyrics to match. ![]() If I thought " Blue" was laid-back, I hadn't heard " Return." This is more R&B than rap, with Thama doing his best Babyface impression on the chorus. Appropriate for an August tune, with all that implies. It's a laid-back groove, a stay up all night kind of song, with copious descriptions of a lazy summer day. " Blue" is a previously released single from back in August. Listen to this one, even if it's only to figure out what I'm talking about. They have some old school sounds in here, too. " Career High" is a chill jam, mostly about growing up and finding out that you're not that different, even if your life is more complex. The song is interesting, talking about staying true to yourself no matter what, occasionally fantasizing about cutting loose and being an outlaw. " Desperado" reminds me a little of the music from those Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns starring Clint Eastwood, and I think that's the point. And the lyrics are clever, with a Game of Thrones reference and even likens listening to other artists for inspiration as "rap airplane mode." Most of all, it's a bop. There's a persistent "20-20-40-40" repetition in the chorus, down pitched to sound super-deep. " 2040" is a trap composition, mostly consisting of them rapping about how cool they are. The LP features a bevy of guest stars, from Swings and Verbal Jint to PENOMECO, and more. Chancellor, nafla & Paloalto)ĭynamic Duo has just dropped their newest release, a full album stuffed with 12 songs, including the title track " MSG." The album is titled ' OFF DUTY,' and on this one, they clearly weren't. ![]()
