Epik High are amazing!! Actually, all of the rappers in BTS have talked about how big fans of Epik High they are, they even shout them out in their song Hip Hop Phile, and both Suga and RM said that they started rapping because of Epik High's Fly. The members of Epik High are also big fans of BTS and they all have a very good relationship!!
Epik High are awesome! I got to see them live once it was amazing. Members of Epik High are Tablo, Mithra Jin and DJ Tukutz. (the other artists are featuring) in order of rap... 1. Tablo 2. Beenzino 3. Verbal Jint 4. B.I (formally iKON) 5. Mithra Jin 6. Mino (from Winner) 7. Bobby (from iKON) DJ Tukutz is the one is the orange suit and sunglasses.
YG is a kpop hiphop-ish company so they get really good rappers. Well don't know about that now but up till I guess BP, they really uphold their hiphop roots.
If Epik High can be considered YG rappers for their limited affiliation, you omitted Mithra Jin, he's the one with the pizza boxes. He's Epik High. And like others have said - B.I. Also may I present - 1TYM Teddy who is imo, the OG YG rapper.
Bobby was still a trainee in this video, the outfit that he’s wearing are the same one he wore when he won SMTM season 3 ( rap competition show). He was only 18 at the time. Making him the youngest and only idol ( trainee) winner.
“Is that Bobby?!” 😂 Him and Mino have such unique grimy voices. Something about Minos pronunciation has always been incredibly easy for me to understand what he’s saying. It’s the weirdest thing.
In one interview EPIK HIGH TABLO revealed he tapped B.I/ Bobby to basically finish this song cause he was having a hard time getting the beats he wants. AND B.I basically just finished and left, like sneezing out his talent like that. AND BOBBY just ate chicken and played video games after. THOSE 2 are DOPE! Please check out B.I! One of the best out there!
Legendary song, legendary rappers. And it's not even an overstatement yo. >D Btw, Epik High and Tablo personally are really close friends with Bobby and B.I! They're all geniuses in flow/lyrics and composing rap. And everyone's lyrics so witty, symbolism in MV as well, man I love Born Hater. And k-hip-hop is amazing, you should definitely react to more Epik High!
Love the way Anthony really understands rap songs. Look how excited and happy he is! hahah love this reaction. I've been waiting for you to react to this.
Yoongi discovered hip hop and at the age of 12: “The first time that I heard hip hop music was EPIK HIGH's third album. It was an amazing album even without the songs 'Fly', 'Paris'. It fitted with my sensitivity to music, and the degree of completion was excellent too. EPIK HIGH paved the way for me to start making music”. RM was inspired by Epik High in his early school years: “I decided to rap my story when I was in my first year of middle school. I was impressed by ‘Fly’ of Epik High”. Tablo ( leader of Epik High ) said: We’re close with RM and Suga. Back when we weren’t close, they came to visit us in our waiting room. We became friends then. They told us that they grew their dreams while listening to our song ‘FLY.’ When we see them getting awards all over the world, we think, ‘It’s a good thing we made ‘FLY”.
I have been a fan of Epik High for 10 years and I find Tablo's verses like food for the brain and my intellectual side. I remember some old video of Tablo drunk rapping freestyle during a dinner, man, he is so smart!
저도요 ㅠㅠ 맨날 그 부분 안타까워요 ㅠㅠ if someone who does not know about Korean well, I want to tell you there are a lot of cool lyrics, for example, middle of Tablo's verses there is a sentence which is "Loosening my own figure-eight knot to create an infinity symbol" actually the word "팔자(loosening my own figure-eight)" has two meanings in this song, first, it means the number 8, and the other meaning in Korea is the given fate to every each person including like luck, talent etc. So the sentence can also mean "the loosening my own fate(팔자,8) to draw the infinity (of his career or success)". sorry for my bad English but I really want to explain Tablo's dope lyrics.
Bobby is in iKON with B.I (at that time, the one in white, iKON's former Leader. I suggest you to react to him bcs he's dope), as same as MINO is in Winner, but that was a collab and they are from the same company with Epik High (once again, at that time). "Showtime" is a quote about iKON and "Show me the money" is about he won smtm3 at the time at the song
I just saw Epik High perform a show in Vegas a few weeks ago. They are legends and so SO funny. So glad I got to see them. Also, check out their lightstick. I think you’ll appreciate it 😉😂.
"Man, this guy is so clever." YES, HE'S THE TABLO THE 160IQ rapper guy!!!! And yes this is k-hiphop. Epik high is the group who kinda introduced rap and hip hop as mainstream genre in sokor!!!
9:28 That guy is B.I. He is only 18-year-old trainee that time. The youngest in the bunch yet the only one who's credited on both lyrics and composition for Born Hater. He is a rapper, award-winning songwriter and producer, singer and dancer. He used to be the leader and producer of bobby's group but he is now a successful soloist, executive director and ceo. Hope you can check out his solo stuff like WATERFALL, illa illa, ILLUSION, BE I, etc. He's coming back with a new album this November 11. Hope you can check that out too. Thanks and stay safe
I really like how you react and analyze everything that's going on in the music, the mv, the lyrics and all. Thank you so much for reacting to this masterpiece
Epic high was really big back in the day.. memories... BI who sang wow~~~and in all white he released alot of songs in 2021. Love to see your reaction on 'waterfall' 'ilaila' .waterfall dance break is awesome
Thanks for the reaction 😍 And no Bobby is a member of iKON ( Which you can react to some of their songs like : killing me , dumb and dumber , love scenario ,........) And please react more to bobby🤩
hell yeah, and DK solo too T-T aaaah, so many things, not so much time in a day to show people a lot of things that they "*might*" be missing (from their taste we get on the reactions)
Yes finding the love of Epik High I can not wait to you hear Rosario with Nico and CL,. That song is a banger and it has bars for days. But you are not ready, you where barely ready for this song.
epik high is an og Korean hip-hop group loads of artists look up to them including bts, especially rm and yoongi, who have become friends with them suga produced a song for them in 2019 called eternal sunshine for the album sleepless
The WOW guy has won SONGWRITER OF THE YEAR 2018, namely KIM HANBIN a.k.a B.I., i hope you also check out his WATERFALL ALBUM. He is a great lyricist and a poet
Oh wow! Epik High finally!! I can't recommend a particular song not because they are not good but because they are soooo good and so many! Their discography is just astounding. So happy you got to listen to them.
Epik High are literaly living legends. Almost twenty years in the industry, inspired a whole generation of artists (including Suga) and some of them are in this song like Mino, Bobby or B.I and B.I btw. was Bobby's band mate in iKON, now he's solo, recomend to check him out also.
The best featuring artists that epik high ever have! All talented rappers here especially Beenzino and Verbal Jint! One of the most respected hiphop seniors along with epikhigh❤️❤️🔥 When he keep on pausing the song i was like "damn I want to jammed to the song dude!"
Bobby and Hanbin-aka B.I- (the one who did the chorus-I think I'm horrible at music terms- and well as doing the closing rap) are part of iKon. You should also listen too Bobby-Rest Your Bones and B.I's Only One (Also Illa Illa since it's from his first Solo album titled Waterfall)
Yasss!!!! Epik High ! There are lots of amazing songs of Epik High ..specially their old songs...lyrics are poetry..tablo is a genius lyricist and Mithra's rap delivery is dope!
Funny story, I discovered a love for Korean music via an older Korean movie (forgot the name) but the ML's mother was a singer and she sang Traditional music which for some reason spoke to my heart. Years later I fell into K-Pop due to the mix of Korean and English which feels inclusive. Epik High was the K-Hip Hop group that kept me interested in the genre and they lead me into the discovery of other Korean Hip Hop and Pop artist.
Btw they are one of the people who created Movement Crew which is a group that brings hip hop sound to South Korea that label as third rated music before it got famous..most of the members in movement crew is underground rappers
I HIGHLY recommend you to check out B.I ! He is the one wearing white (ex-IKON member/leader), basically Bobby's partner on IKON both of them are rappers/composers. He's solo now but has some WILD releases lately! Please check out B.I's album WATERFALL and the upcoming new album is COSMOS (only 4 months after Waterfall)
That man in all black is mino of winner, man in all white is b.i former member of ikon the group which bobby where in. the rest are members of epik high. YG
Ok, so Epik High is Khip Hop, NOT Kpop. Also, if you stay on EH, just know they've been around for a minute and are about to drop new music any day now...that said, check out Rosario. :) Oh, Tablo is clever? Yeah...you have NO idea!!! Tablo is no joke!!! Finally, they're NOT young. Tablo's 41, DJ Tukutz is 39 and Mithra Jin is 38. Not sure why I added this, but there you go, lol.
I haven't ever watched a reaction video to Epik High. I'm glad that I watched yours first. That's totally how I watch music videos on the first viewing. ☺️ I'm really satisfied at how you took time to look at the lyrics and not just the video. 😁👍 EDIT: Just want to suggest checking out MINO as well. 😊
You should check out B.I's solo music, waterfall is really good and the Message Film #1 he did for his new half album "Keep the fire alive" is amazing, you will love it for sure.
Finalllyyyyyy Epik High ! I clicked and liked right away :) Born Hater got me into them and I love it, but now I like "No Thanks" even more (it's the same kind of song, with a lot of guests and talking to the haters, it's kind of "Born Hater vol. 2" xD). Hope you'll react to more of their songs !
since you enjoy raps. . You will probably enjoy Justhis Killing Verse on Dingo Freestyle, he is an underground rapper which is highly differently from Kpop rapper
Interestingly that Blo's wisdom always shines! Those people are crazy not to believe in his academic background - literacy wise his rhymes on english tracks can prove that lol they are insaneeee and Epik High is a real thing the beat, the raps and the attitude are on point. Love them!!
I read coment section.. and read tablo.. where i see him?.. i finally remembered.. he had song with taeyang.. TOMORROW.. you must see that.. that song 9yo already
scrolled down the comments couldn't find this, so I will try from memory, most scenes are showcasing hate they get in some way, the video was their return to the scene after YG signed them when no one else would touch them. first character in the video (original one) is Tukutz he gets hate for being nothing but someone who turns dials, sitting alone with many mixers just turning dials (Epik HIgh) second character is Tablo, surrounded by cockroaches, to say he got hate is a bit of an understatement, he is probably the first victim of insane cancel culture, a group lead by his cousin campaigned to cancel him for faking his education (notice the art in the background is crossed over, because it was claimed he was fake and not a true artist, just a clout chasing nobody who faked his education to pretend to be clever), yet even when it was proved and set, it was framed as a chaebol's privilege (Chaebols are the rich and above the law of Korea), his label dropped him and he retreated from the industry fearing the many threats against himself and especially his infant daughter, basically living like a hermit afraid of getting recognized and hurt by antis, his wife is an actress under YG, and convinced him to meet with them, and well YG didn't care so they funded his comeback, I think his first was with Taeyang of Bigbang as a feature, and then the rest of Epik High signed, it is a very long and complicated story, can link an article from a reporter who dove deep from just before he signed with YG, very fascinating and scary. (Epik High) the Next is Beenzino sitting with the sneakers, if I recall correctly he got hate for selling out in Khiphop way back when, he is good looking and popular, and endorsed sneakers got rich from it, but wasn't street enough or some such nonsense (Solo) after that is Verbal Jint, sitting with books but looking at something else, I think he was hated for being to intellectual in his wordplay or something like that. (Soloist) singing the Chorus is B.I (former leader of Ikon), actually got hate for being to clean and not a rapper, he had a very unfortunate image on SMTM (forgot his lyrics a lot, but could usually kill it freestyle instead, in his defense he was attending that show while leading Ikon on their Debut show, and being from YG doesn't help (expectations are high)) (currently a soloist and CEO of his own label) Mino pops in, he received hate for becoming an idol instead of the rapper he could have been (perception not my opinion), sorta selling out by taking the idol image, Winner did debut with a ballad song. his solo work is incredible (that is opinion, mine) (in the group Winner and a soloist (had to type group winner, because typing "Winner and soloist" sounded wrong) Lastly there is Bobby, he did what no one thought possible and won SMTM as an Idol rapper trainee, and did it while gaining the respect of the community, dissing Idol Rap is/was a very essential part of Khiphop, and he certainly did that, though that included himself as well.... many standoms took offense to that, thinking the world revolves around their faves, and demanded apologies and such, the response was simple, if they feel offended then grab the mic and diss back, instead of hiding behind the stans... pure gold (Ikon and Soloist)
Rosario is the same concept as born hater(both are in that 16:9 aspect ratio resempling a phone screen, usually meaning the song is a response to haters/hate comments) you should check it out
Can u react to B.I - Keep the fire ALive message film? The one in white t shirt and cap. He was only 18 years old here, now 25 and started as soloist .
Epik High have released their North American tour dates and if you’re interested, tickets are affordable. Like it costs $160+ for a meet and greet, to me that’s a steal!
This song is legendary. I love the trust Tablo put in Mino,Bobby and BI and how they delivered. But yes I got to agree Mino and Bobby's voices are really distinctive and their flow and artistry is too .
You should definitely check out Epik High’s new release Face ID. The official MV has English subtitles so I highly suggest checking that one out but the MV is so cool and triply and has some great imagery
U gotta check out Tablo's solo stuff too. He's known as "Lyrical Genius Assassin" in K-music industry. He graduated in Standford University USA with a Double Degree (within 3 1/2 years) in English Literature & Creative Writing. The MV's concept was "7 Deadly Sins" 2nd & 3rd guys are both og solo k-rappers Chorus guy was former ikon's leader. He & Bobby are both rappers Gjy with baseball bat is Winner's rapper Epik High is a 1st generation k-hiphop trio (Tablo, guy with pizza box Mithra & guy in orange suit DJ Tukutz). U should check out their older stuffs. It's old but gold. Their 2021 released was "Rosario" feat CL & Zico.

Yes 게이 is gay. But it could also be a short for 게 시판 이 용자 which is also
게이
For western equivalent it can be translated such as “forum user/redditor/4chan creeps”
He pays whole homage back to online hatingーKeyboard warrior theme, here
Which you consistently found during video 😮
Bobby of ikon, Mino of Winner, B.I is ex leader of ikon, all of them from YG company, Bobby was the champion of "Show me the Money"
BI & Bobby were still trainees during the release of this song. Making them two of the first trainees to ever grace the stage of MAMA before debuting.
2014 mama was iconic only next to 2015
@@bullymaguire5838 that 2014 MAMA was a whole YG party. From EH, Bobby, Mino, Winner, and if my memory doesn't fail me we also had Masta Wu performing with Bobby.
And we can't forget GD and Tae with that legendary GD diss to MAMA itself.
@@bullymaguire5838 if you have Epik High and BigBang in the Same Event, that was really a Banger 💥

Add that they are going on tour (EH) and they shared Joonie's dance from ITS in social media saying that'll be their new choreo to Fly T-T
Epik High are awesome! I got to see them live once it was amazing.
Members of Epik High are Tablo, Mithra Jin and DJ Tukutz. (the other artists are featuring)

DJ Tukutz is the one is the orange suit and sunglasses.
From Tablo, T.O.P., Bobby, Mino, CL, Lalisa , Jennie, Psy, and G-dragon, YGs rappers are unmatched.
B.I ^-^
YG is a kpop hiphop-ish company so they get really good rappers. Well don't know about that now but up till I guess BP, they really uphold their hiphop roots.
U forgot B. I 😔
If Epik High can be considered YG rappers for their limited affiliation, you omitted Mithra Jin, he's the one with the pizza boxes. He's Epik High.
And like others have said - B.I.
Also may I present - 1TYM Teddy who is imo, the OG YG rapper.
@@Gipsy_regis boi really put lalisa on the list…
Bobby was still a trainee in this video, the outfit that he’s wearing are the same one he wore when he won SMTM season 3 ( rap competition show). He was only 18 at the time. Making him the youngest and only idol ( trainee) winner.
And then his Lyrics was for all of his haters that says he didn't deserve to win 😂
“Is that Bobby?!” 😂
Him and Mino have such unique grimy voices. Something about Minos pronunciation has always been incredibly easy for me to understand what he’s saying. It’s the weirdest thing.
That's the best compliment for any rapper that thier pronunciation is perfect .
And same here mino voice does sound very clear
In one interview EPIK HIGH TABLO revealed he tapped B.I/ Bobby to basically finish this song cause he was having a hard time getting the beats he wants. AND B.I basically just finished and left, like sneezing out his talent like that. AND BOBBY just ate chicken and played video games after. THOSE 2 are DOPE! Please check out B.I! One of the best out there!
There are only 3 members of Epik high. This song is so legendary because they collabed with some of the best rappers in different generations.
Epik High is amazing! Tablo is a genius - literally. His IQ is on par with Stephen Hawking and Einstein.
Epik High is coming to my city next year!!! Cannot wait yay!!
Lucky you😭
Legendary song, legendary rappers. And it's not even an overstatement yo. >D
Btw, Epik High and Tablo personally are really close friends with Bobby and B.I! They're all geniuses in flow/lyrics and composing rap. And everyone's lyrics so witty, symbolism in MV as well, man I love Born Hater. And k-hip-hop is amazing, you should definitely react to more Epik High!

타블로는 펀치라인이 진짜 개쩌는데 ㅜㅜ 이노래에서는 "무한대(∞)를 그려주려 쓰러진 팔자(8)" 부분이 대박인데 외국사람들한테 막 설명해주고 싶은데 설명해줄길이 없네ㅠㅠ
저도요 ㅠㅠ 맨날 그 부분 안타까워요 ㅠㅠ if someone who does not know about Korean well, I want to tell you there are a lot of cool lyrics, for example, middle of Tablo's verses there is a sentence which is "Loosening my own figure-eight knot to create an infinity symbol" actually the word "팔자(loosening my own figure-eight)" has two meanings in this song, first, it means the number 8, and the other meaning in Korea is the given fate to every each person including like luck, talent etc. So the sentence can also mean "the loosening my own fate(팔자,8) to draw the infinity (of his career or success)". sorry for my bad English but I really want to explain Tablo's dope lyrics.
Born Hater is one of my favorite Epik High songs, I'm so glad you're listening to them! I'm going to see them during their tour next year 😁
Epik High is only 3 members, the others that come out are Benzino (Soloist), Verbal Jin (Soloist), B.I (ex-Ikon), MINO (Winner) and BOBBY (Ikon)
the first guy is from Stanford thats why his english is so good and he plays with the languages so well.
Bobby is in iKON with B.I (at that time, the one in white, iKON's former Leader. I suggest you to react to him bcs he's dope), as same as MINO is in Winner, but that was a collab and they are from the same company with Epik High (once again, at that time).

Also, if you stay on EH, just know they've been around for a minute and are about to drop new music any day now...that said, check out Rosario. :) Oh, Tablo is clever? Yeah...you have NO idea!!! Tablo is no joke!!! Finally, they're NOT young. Tablo's 41, DJ Tukutz is 39 and Mithra Jin is 38. Not sure why I added this, but there you go, lol.
I haven't ever watched a reaction video to Epik High. I'm glad that I watched yours first. That's totally how I watch music videos on the first viewing. ☺️
I'm really satisfied at how you took time to look at the lyrics and not just the video. 😁👍
EDIT: Just want to suggest checking out MINO as well. 😊
Epik High is OG man ✔️🙌
Glad you finally found them
BI ♥️
Through the years I’ve been listening to kpop but for me this is still the best Rap collaboration in Kpop history.
Epik High are the og's🔥🔥🔥
My favorite song
Included my all favorite in one
This is legend!
I like this song for a long time since this song released 🤣
You should check out B.I's solo music, waterfall is really good and the Message Film #1 he did for his new half album "Keep the fire alive" is amazing, you will love it for sure.
🔥🔥🔥BOBBY🔥🔥🔥
Finalllyyyyyy Epik High ! I clicked and liked right away :) Born Hater got me into them and I love it, but now I like "No Thanks" even more (it's the same kind of song, with a lot of guests and talking to the haters, it's kind of "Born Hater vol. 2" xD). Hope you'll react to more of their songs !
TMI: Tablo was stuck with this song, but Hanbin (B.I. - who's iKON's former leader, and is also in this song) helped him :)
since you enjoy raps. . You will probably enjoy Justhis Killing Verse on Dingo Freestyle, he is an underground rapper which is highly differently from Kpop rapper
Interestingly that Blo's wisdom always shines! Those people are crazy not to believe in his academic background - literacy wise his rhymes on english tracks can prove that lol they are insaneeee and Epik High is a real thing the beat, the raps and the attitude are on point. Love them!!
I read coment section.. and read tablo.. where i see him?.. i finally remembered.. he had song with taeyang.. TOMORROW.. you must see that.. that song 9yo already
love themmmmmm EPIK HIGH!!! Check out another songgggg
scrolled down the comments couldn't find this, so I will try from memory, most scenes are showcasing hate they get in some way, the video was their return to the scene after YG signed them when no one else would touch them.
first character in the video (original one) is Tukutz he gets hate for being nothing but someone who turns dials, sitting alone with many mixers just turning dials (Epik HIgh)
second character is Tablo, surrounded by cockroaches, to say he got hate is a bit of an understatement, he is probably the first victim of insane cancel culture, a group lead by his cousin campaigned to cancel him for faking his education (notice the art in the background is crossed over, because it was claimed he was fake and not a true artist, just a clout chasing nobody who faked his education to pretend to be clever), yet even when it was proved and set, it was framed as a chaebol's privilege (Chaebols are the rich and above the law of Korea), his label dropped him and he retreated from the industry fearing the many threats against himself and especially his infant daughter, basically living like a hermit afraid of getting recognized and hurt by antis, his wife is an actress under YG, and convinced him to meet with them, and well YG didn't care so they funded his comeback, I think his first was with Taeyang of Bigbang as a feature, and then the rest of Epik High signed, it is a very long and complicated story, can link an article from a reporter who dove deep from just before he signed with YG, very fascinating and scary. (Epik High)
the Next is Beenzino sitting with the sneakers, if I recall correctly he got hate for selling out in Khiphop way back when, he is good looking and popular, and endorsed sneakers got rich from it, but wasn't street enough or some such nonsense (Solo)
after that is Verbal Jint, sitting with books but looking at something else, I think he was hated for being to intellectual in his wordplay or something like that. (Soloist)
singing the Chorus is B.I (former leader of Ikon), actually got hate for being to clean and not a rapper, he had a very unfortunate image on SMTM (forgot his lyrics a lot, but could usually kill it freestyle instead, in his defense he was attending that show while leading Ikon on their Debut show, and being from YG doesn't help (expectations are high)) (currently a soloist and CEO of his own label)
Mino pops in, he received hate for becoming an idol instead of the rapper he could have been (perception not my opinion), sorta selling out by taking the idol image, Winner did debut with a ballad song. his solo work is incredible (that is opinion, mine) (in the group Winner and a soloist (had to type group winner, because typing "Winner and soloist" sounded wrong)
Lastly there is Bobby, he did what no one thought possible and won SMTM as an Idol rapper trainee, and did it while gaining the respect of the community, dissing Idol Rap is/was a very essential part of Khiphop, and he certainly did that, though that included himself as well.... many standoms took offense to that, thinking the world revolves around their faves, and demanded apologies and such, the response was simple, if they feel offended then grab the mic and diss back, instead of hiding behind the stans... pure gold (Ikon and Soloist)
Rosario is the same concept as born hater(both are in that 16:9 aspect ratio resempling a phone screen, usually meaning the song is a response to haters/hate comments) you should check it out
EpiK high is always ahead of their time try to imagine when vertical video not popular as now.. they are pioneer & taboo is genius .. poet tho
Can u react to B.I - Keep the fire ALive message film? The one in white t shirt and cap. He was only 18 years old here, now 25 and started as soloist .
YOU NEED TO WATCH THE LIVE VERSION!!!!!!!
Mino, bobby, B.I, epik high 🔥😎
Epik High have released their North American tour dates and if you’re interested, tickets are affordable. Like it costs $160+ for a meet and greet, to me that’s a steal!
I miss b.i and bobby❤️❤️❤️
iKON saranghaeo😍😍😍
Hello from South Korea. Tablo is genius
This song is legendary. I love the trust Tablo put in Mino,Bobby and BI and how they delivered. But yes I got to agree Mino and Bobby's voices are really distinctive and their flow and artistry is too .
You should definitely check out Epik High’s new release Face ID. The official MV has English subtitles so I highly suggest checking that one out but the MV is so cool and triply and has some great imagery
U gotta check out Tablo's solo stuff too. He's known as "Lyrical Genius Assassin" in K-music industry. He graduated in Standford University USA with a Double Degree (within 3 1/2 years) in English Literature & Creative Writing.
The MV's concept was "7 Deadly Sins"
2nd & 3rd guys are both og solo k-rappers
Chorus guy was former ikon's leader. He & Bobby are both rappers
Gjy with baseball bat is Winner's rapper
Epik High is a 1st generation k-hiphop trio (Tablo, guy with pizza box Mithra & guy in orange suit DJ Tukutz). U should check out their older stuffs. It's old but gold. Their 2021 released was "Rosario" feat CL & Zico.
There are puns and rhymes that only Koreans can understand, so that's one of amazing thing of this song. :)
Awesome rappers 🖖
