Now, I try not to get too personal on this blog, but I’m going to have to get a little personal on this one. ^^ Mostly because I’m so proud of my big brother and this song has been a long time coming.
Some of you may recognize Onesun from SMTM 5, where he failed spectacularly early on in the show. Don’t let that turn you off. He is a first generation rapper and producer in Korea. For more info on his background, you can check out the two articles I’ve previously written on him here and here. But over the course of the nearly three years I’ve known him, he’s become a good friend.
I was lucky enough to be kept in the loop from the beginning, listening to the backing track after he perfected it, listening to the full track before it was mastered and then finally the finished product. Helping out by editing the English lyrics for the music video. This song was supposed to drop months ago, but had to be put on hold after a few snafus but, he finally got the sampling rights and everything was good to go. A lot of the people in the video are good close friends of his and it’s set mostly in his club In2Deep, which has become a tight knit group of regulars and friends. At this point, I feel like I know this song inside and out, and I’m still not tired of listening to it.
I am incredibly happy to see this finally come out. It’s his first track since 2007, so in a way, it’s a big comeback for him and a launch pad for his underground label Shining Ground Music. Check it out and if you like it, it is up for sale on iTunes. And keep an eye out for SMG artists, because there is definitely more to come!
