3RACHA is not just the title of the song but also the name of this group, the 3 members from Stray Kids : Bang Chan, Changbin & Han. Who also happen to be the mean producers for Stray Kids. They write, composes, arrange & produce almost 99% of their songs since the beginning and so yes, their songs credits list are top among their generation and even more then some of K-pop’s older generation artists as well. 3Racha is also formed way before Stray Kids as an underground hip hop group when they were still trainees under JYP Entertainment. Very talented young men (age 27 to 24 with 100+ to 200+ song credits under their name already)
To answer your question if it is true that they are topping chart around the world? The answer is YES. Prime example: their last 6 albums (Oddinary, Maxident, 5-Star, ROCK-Star, ATE, and HOP) were #1 on Billboard 200 (this happened over a period of 2 years).
If you like rap, you will love Stray Kids! Try ‘Heyday’ ‘Muddy water’ ‘maze of memories’ ‘Topline’ or ‘Freeze’ next. Those are more of their rap songs. Some of those are group songs and some are with only a couple of members.
1:33 Yes they are. They just made/ created a new record by being the 1st group ever to have their last 6 albums to debut at the top of the Billboard 200 charts.Beating the Jonas Bros at 5 albums. I also believe they hold the record for largest presale ever of a kpop album of over 5 million on their Oddinary album. They are 99% self produced & write all their own lyrics. 3Racha is the producing unit within Stray Kids and they won an award for "Best Creator" at Asian Artist Awards in 2023. They've performed & won awards on the VMA'S & Billboard Music awards in the US, in addition to countless awards in the Asian Music industry, UK Music industry, Mexico and other overseas award shows. Deep dive into their music, you wont be disappointed. ❤❤❤
----------------------------------------- About Stray Kids (aka SKZ): ------------------------------------------ Leader Bang Chan flew from Australia to Korea when he was young teenager and trained at JYPE for several years. While waiting to debut, he formed a rap group called 3Racha w/ two other trainees, Changbin and Han. They wrote/produced their own music. JYP gave Bang Chan the unusual opportunity to help develop his own group (which they did through a survival show, but Bang Chan pretty much got to hand-pick his own members - again, HIGHLY unusual). When Stray Kids was formed, 3Racha was absorbed into that group. 3Racha writes/produces (and often composes/arranges) the vast majority of the music for Stray Kids. Over time the other members have also gotten involved in writing/production. 3Racha also still writes for themselves/performs on occasion. Several of their songs/videos are on TH-cam. ---------------------------------- Stray Kids debuted in 2018. In early videos, you'll see 9 people performing, but one left in Oct 2019. SKZ have been an 8-member group ever since. ---------------------------------- DanceRacha (unofficial sub-unit) - main dancers (Lee Know, Hyunjin and Felix (deep-voiced guy). But all 8 members are very good dancers. ---------------------------------- VocalRacha (unofficial sub-unit) - main vocalists (Seungmin & I.N). But all 8 members are great singers and switch around on lead vocals, depending on the song. ---------------------------------- Main rappers - Changbin, Han, Hyunjin & Felix. However unlike many K-pop groups, all 8 members can rap/have rapped, depending on the song. ---------------------------------- Languages: Bang Chan (the leader) and Felix (deep-voiced guy) are both Korean-Australian. English is their first language. The other 6 members speak English with varying degrees of fluency. They're all fluent in Korean and also sing/rap in Japanese. They often mix Korean/English and Japanese/English in their songs. ---------------------------------- Not all of their music goes hard all the time. SKZ also write/sing beautiful ballads, and some of their songs have been on K-drama, J-drama, anime, video game & movie soundtracks. They also collab with and/or write and produce for other idol groups and solo artists from Korea, Japan, China, Thailand and the U.S. ---------------------------------- Fandom name: STAY ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MEMBERS 3Racha (Stray Kids' writing/production unit): Bang Chan - leader of Stray Kids & 3Racha, main songwriter/producer/composer/arranger, vocalist, dancer, rapper on some songs Changbin - main songwriter/producer, main rapper, composer, vocalist, dancer Han - main songwriter/producer, main rapper, composer, vocalist, dancer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The other members: Lee Know - main dancer, choreographer for some songs, vocalist, songwriter, rapper on some songs Hyunjin - main dancer/main rapper, songwriter, producer, vocalist (also an artist & some of his paintings have been used in some of the videos) Felix - main dancer/ main rapper, songwriter, large vocal range when singing: bass---->baritone--->tenor--->falsetto Seungmin - main vocalist, songwriter, dancer, rapper on some songs I.N - main vocalist, songwriter, dancer, rapper on some songs
2:59 Yes! 3Racha is the main producing unit of Stray Kids. They write the music, lyrics, and produce/record most Stray Kids music. Extremely talented and hard working young men! The name three-racha is a play on the hot sauce: sriracha. Stray Kids (SKZ for short) was formed by leader, Bang Chan, aka Christopher, who selected all the members himself- previously unheard in the K-pop world. This trio was formed well before Stray Kids debuted in 2018.
From Stray Kids I would recommend 'Muddy Water' 'Topline' 'Heyday' 'Megaverse'. I also feel like you would appreciate 'bounce back' off of their latest special album
I didn't see that anyone else posted this - brings a bit more to light about Bang Chan's verse regarding the Scoville scale - 3Racha is sorta named/sounds like Sriracha, the hot sauce. Though I believe when asked about it, the boys also talked about Racha being a wind in spanish I think? 3 of them, hence 3Racha. I'm sure it means both as the boys absolutely love wordplay. Especially Changbin :) He's come up with a bunch of song titles/album titles that are a play on words.
Yep, that's right. When saying 3Racha in Korean (Hangul) it's pronounced very similar to Sriracha. They love a good wordplay and use a lot of it in their lyrics.
Heyday, Muddy Water, Zone, We go, Maze of Memories, Topline, Megaverse. Chan is Aussie and the leader of the group. They top chart yes. They've just became the first group to have their first 6 albums on Billboard enter at number 1.
1:35 Yes, they just made Billboard history “Stray Kids have now become the first artist in the 69-year history of the Billboard 200 chart to debut six consecutive albums at No. 1 since the chart’s inception in March 1956.” So not just the first group, but the first artist ever. 3RACHA is the producing unit of Stray Kids. They write and produce nearly all of their music. And according to KOMCA, as of November 11, 2024 (haven’t seen the revised numbers yet) Chan has 199 copyright credits, Changbin has 172 and Han has 164. With their Japanese album, Giant, released November 13 and HOP released December 13, these numbers will be higher.
Everyone sends to be forgetting ITEM, big brother to JJAM. I would also recommend Miroh, EASY (trap beat), Muddy Water, Comflex, Hall of Fame, Battle Ground, Topline, Zone, HeyDay, I got it, Rock, 3rd Eye, N/S, Maze of Memories, Mountains, Domino, Cheese, Ssick, The Tortise and the Hare, Any, We Go, Mirror, Beware and Yayaya.
To answer your question about chart topping, yes. Their last 6 albums in a row have debuted at #1 on Billboard. The only act in Billboard history to do so. They knocked Taylor Swift off #1 with the latest album, Hop.
When you said you didn't know it was a single person till the end of the last song, I was convinced it was Felix. To see it was Seungmin is refreshing! 😂 You should definitely check out more Stray Kids. Maybe the music videos to their groups sonds is a good start. People usually start off with God's Menu :)
Their latest album has one song called 'BOUNCE BACK'. I'm sure you'll like it. But yes, as it is half korean and half english song, u should use color coded lyrics for that too. Other recs from their discography: I Got It, HEYDAY, We Go, Zone, Maze Of Memories, The Tortoise And The Hare, Venom, Just Breathe by SKY-HI (ft.3racha)
Love this reaction! Always gpod to see rap fans discorver these guys. to answer some of the comments on the lyrics: When Changbin says his eyes are bloodshot, it's meant because they make music overnight between their schedules so they don't sleep. Also when Han references tiki taka he's talking about how in 3 racha they pass raps around and finish eachothers flow in skz songs. It's a reference to passing the ball in soccer (and being good at it haha) Lastly, whenever they yell SHUT UP it's actually a reference to STORMZY because they got a lot of insperation from his songs. If you like rap, skz is definitely worth checking out more. I recommend Bounce Back which is a new track with all the members. Plus The Tortoise and the Hare which is more experiemental rap. Happy listening
I watched your channel because of Balkan reactions, and now seeing you also react to kpop made me really happy. Stray kids is absolutely a great choice, I recommend XG- woke up and Milli-mirror mirror
Love ur reactions bro! 3RACHA are a subunit of StrayKids they are also the producers of the group. As u mentioned Bang Chan is Australian Pls react to BTS - UGH!, its just the rapline of BTS and its one of the best rap songs u will ever hear, but u have to pay close attention to the lyrics
1) They certainly do top charts. They've topped Billboard a few times. 2) Bang Chan is Australian, as is Felix (not shown here). 3) These three are 3Racha, a subunit of Stray Kids, and these three are the producers of the group. They write, compose, and produce their music. 4) They're absolutely at the top of their game. :)
Thanks for reacting to Stray Kids/3RACHA! You brought a lot of experience to the reaction that I really appreciated specifically about the line referencing Australian rappers. I hope you react to more Stray Kids!
So glad you checked this one out! Stray Kids discography is insanely versatile, i genuinely think theyve got something for everybody. I think two more that you'd enjoy the most are I Got It, which is a solo track by Han (he did the second verse on this track). And Bounce Back from thier most recent album. They both have a more agressive tone that fits well if you like this kind of vibe. Stays (the fanbase) really like watching reactors who are fans of one type of thing enjoy or be impressed by how the kids incorporate that into their music. If you want to react to something of theirs thats a little more well known and has all 8 group members, I'd go with Megaverse for sure.That song has some impressive rap and is a little closer in genre to what most of their title tracks / singles sound like.
stray kidsss ❤ I love how you got the references! and yes, 3RACHA is the production unit, with Bang Chan being the leader of skz and Han and Changbin the main rappers. I highly recommend their new album, HOP, especially the title track Walkin On Water which has many references to 90s hip-hop.
The majority of their body of work is based in Hip-Hop. I would say that trap lays the foundation for most of their music, especially their like 2020-2023(ish) releases. They've been doing more boombap and rock based stuff recently, too. Although, they have always done a mirad of genres. Bang Chan was the one that made the beat for this song. And he co-produced it with one of his producer friends (and commonly credited producer on SKZ’ music), VERSACHOI. It was of course written by all three members of 3RACHA.
3 Racha is this three - the sub unit that does most of the writing and producing for Stray Kids. Talented clever boys! Try Jjam next. I mean, I've got eleven of their albums now & they're no skip listening for me so you could go for any of their tracks really.
Heyday, we go, snd zone are also 3racha favorites. Stray kids as a whole has a long discography in general multi genre and they produce almost all their music. Easy, hall of fame, gods menu, muddy water, topline, bounce back etc
I love watching reactions of this song cos bare people always gag when it gets to Bang Chan’s part; the “ohh rahhh” the lines, the delivery, the swagger. Fun fact; He also made the beat and the only one from the group who can make beats and instrumentals.
Looking forward for more 3racha and stray kids. And yesss they’re topping the charts like no others. Whatever they say in the lyrics are true. And yup, their music scores are frightening.
Us British Stays are really hoping that this song will make the setlist when they are performing at Tottenham Stadium next summer🤞 Our unofficial anthem!🔥
They have had 6 consequtive number one album in the american billboard chart. They are kpop stars, no alcohol or drugs allowed. They have to always be squeeky clean and family friendly. 3racha is the mini group in stray kids that do all the writing and producing. They are the only K-pop band that does all their own writing and producing. Bang chan is Australian... he is also the leader, and in my opinion, the backbone of talent in stray kids. I can't wait to see more stray kidz reactions from you. You are in for a ride!!! Lol
Some stuff i have to say.. 1st of all, unlike most kpop groups, these mfs are self produced, making their own music. 2nd, they have 2 of the best rappers in korea (Changbin and Han), and the others in the groups rap very well too. These 2 plus bang chan are 3racha, they were a hiphop trio since before stray kids was formed, uploading songs to SoundCloud without their company knowing. 3, they have a huge discography with a lot of genres, but what they're mostly known for is very hype trap stuff. 4. im surprised u were only locked in on the lyrics and didn't pay attention to the flow and diction which is imo extraordinary. I hope u check them out more cuz theyve got a lot you would love. Genuinely the best music out of korea. The recs in comments are great.
Yeah, fun reaction. More stray kids please! There’s already some good suggestions. I think I’d throw my lot in with another 3Racha song (the producing/rapping sub-group) and ask for Heyday. Also, love: Item, Domino, Hall of Fame, Bounce Back, Comflex, Miroh (super fast rap section), Megaverse, Victory Song, and Wolfgang for starters 😁. You’ll find Stray Kids fans are great reaction supporters.
2nd comment: 3Racha wrote (and Stray Kids performed) a song that's on the official Deadpool and Wolverine soundtrack. It's called SLASH. Here's a lyrics video (although I think a few of the translated lyrics are incorrect on this video, from what a few Korean speakers have said.) th-cam.com/video/dhj4fK24jnM/w-d-xo.html
If you liked this song you can check out heyday, we go, maze of memories, muddy water, and freeze I think you will like these songs. Also, I would like to suggest to react to agust d (haegeum) it is also rap. Thanks for the reaction! ❤❤❤
There's still Zone & Heyday! And under this link you will find everything that was published by 3Racha before Stray Kids existed. www.youtube.com/@3racha44/videos
Welcome to the rabbit hole!!! Heyday if you want more of 3racha by themselves..Highly reccomend Topline fet. Tiger JK for a whole group..Item, Megaverse, victory song, double knot, easy, JJAM , Venom..you can't go wrong with anything they put out!!!!
1:34 they are the some of the youngest to join as full members of KOMCA ( Korean music copyright association) so they have a lot of writing credits (I believe Chan is close to 200 atp Changbin has 170 and Han 160) 1:54 bloodshot from working all night on their music 2:48 3racha is the name of the production unit of stray kids, they started as a underground trio while they were still trainees. It has also inspired other names for “sub-units” in the group i.e. dance-racha vocal-racha, pabo-rocha.
“3RACHA” is the name of the production sub-unit within Stray Kids, consisting of Bangchan, Changbin, and Han. These three are also the main rappers. Stray Kids consists of eight members and all of them sing, rap, and dance, but everyone has a specialty. Their main vocalists are called “Vocalracha” and their main dancers “Danceracha”. 😄 Stray Kids/3Racha produce most of their own music and they’re absolutely incredible at blending multiple genres within one song. If you want to check out more of their music I would highly recommend these group songs which include everyone: God’s Menu (2020) - this is the song that made me a fan. Venom (2022) Megaverse (2023) Walking on Water (2024) - a brand new banger. This is just scratching the surface. They have so much good music. 🔥
Ode to HAN for wanting to try drill, trap and fast rap with 3racha. Some of the best rap songs they have is cause he entertained the idea of it and Bangchan put his magic into it with HAN brother Changbin getting into it. Love them so much bruh
Bang Chan didn’t put his magic into it. He MADE it. Han and Changbin wanted to try drill and they asked him to make a beat and instrumental they can try on and Bang Chan did, it’s not “magic” it’s his hard work. An idea isn’t a song by the way so no, some of the best rap songs that they have is not because of an idea, it’s cos of the killer instrumental (by Bang Chan) Lyrics and Composition (by 3racha)
1:37 "Are they really out here topping charts?" Yes! They recently broke the record for most consecutive albums to top the Billboard 200 at 6 consecutive albums in just a few years.
One of my favourite 3racha songs is 'Just Breathe'- they reference it in this song with the '3racha breathing' line- it's a collab with Japanese rapper Sky Hi. For full Stray Kids songs if this is your style I recommend 'Bounce Back' from their latest album Hop/合, 'Topline', and 'Megaverse'. They're a really creative group though and cover all genres, one thing they are known for though is playing with rhythms and mixing sounds. You can hear some similar track sounds as are in this song used completely differently in a recently released song 'Hallucination' by I.N one of the Stray Kids members- it was composed by one of the 3racha members but adapted into a vocal style song later, you don't notice it until you pay close attention but it's a good example of how they like to mix sounds associated across genres to make something fresh and new.
I loved how you got most of the references and noticed quite a few things while paying attention to the lyrics. Really appreciate it. You’ll love these: We Go Zone Heyday Bounce Back (the newest release here being just few weeks old) Maze of Memories (this is a masterpiece but if you search just click on the 8 members version please) I Got It by Han Muddy Water
Stray kids is wayyy fire. Muddy Water -another unit song, and I also suggest their song Easy. 3racha is indeed a subunit that existed before Stray Kids was even formed. They produce, compose, and write all of the groups discography. Also suggest their song group XG and their (what I call) mini -song “Hesonoo and XGene” it’s part performance but also a song inspired by drill. XG has some amazing rap if you’re interested. Their Tapes are all fire as is some of their more recent releases Woke Up and Howling. They have other releases but not as rap heavy. Great reaction!
1:35 its true, Stay kids holds world reccors to be the first act ever to have 6 albums in row debuting on 1st place on billboard 200, the also have the second biggest albums sales in the USA after talor swift, the broke the reccord last year for the most pre order album ever for their 5 star album with about 5 milion copies. Recentlly they won the billbord award kop group of the year if Im not mistaken and preformed there. Also won last year vma and are the third most streamd kpop group. 3:06 3racha is the subunit in stray kids, they re the produsing team of 3 stray kids members that write, compose stray kids songs, they were thing before stray kids were created. 3:24 thats bangchan stray kids leader and hes in fact from Australia 8:11 3racha has over 500 credit songs betwen them with bangchan being the third most credited idol in kpop with over 200 song credits 8:33 I would highly reccomend heyday
Woah, chart toppers, yes! Record breakers too, globally. Their discography is huge! You’re in for a treat with Stray Kids, and 3Racha! 😂 They’re absolute 🔥🔥🔥
Bang Chan, and another member of the group named Felix, are both australian actually hahaha. And yes, 3RACHA are the 3 members that are the producers for 99% of their music
2:48 3Racha (pronounced like Three raw-cha) are the production unit of Stray Kids and consists of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han (the three people rapping in the song) "Racha" is Spanish for "Gust of Wind" however 3racha is also a word play for the hot sauce Sriracha..so practically they're saying their like 3 powerful typhoons coming your way with some spoicy and flavorful music!
Bangchan is actually an Australian he grew up there😭
We go, Heyday and Zone by 3Racha.
100% Stay cosigned
We go better
Bounce Back, I Got It, Heyday, Venom, Freeze, Topline, Megaverse, Easy and Double Knot... but you can't really go wrong with Stray Kids
100% stay certified cosign🫰🤘🫰
I would add We go to the mandatory rap list and maybe Maze of memories
@von1glik biggest facts
@@von1glik oh, man! Yes! Maze of Memories! Can’t recommend it enough!
The tortoise and the hare
"They're not murderers"
Me, who just watched Railway: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
No but seriously, Heyday is probs my fav 3RACHA song if you'd give it a chance!
😂
Heyday is my favourite too
they murder the beats that they create for themselves lol
I JUST THOUGHT THAT TOO 😂😂😂 I was like hold up, umm yes and no?
Lmao😭😭 that man wrote youtiful and eternity i was taken aback by the mv
3RACHA is not just the title of the song but also the name of this group, the 3 members from Stray Kids : Bang Chan, Changbin & Han. Who also happen to be the mean producers for Stray Kids.

Bang Chan - 204
Changbin - 175

To answer your question if it is true that they are topping chart around the world? The answer is YES. Prime example: their last 6 albums (Oddinary, Maxident, 5-Star, ROCK-Star, ATE, and HOP) were #1 on Billboard 200 (this happened over a period of 2 years).
They were the first history act to have 6 consecutive albums number #1 on the Billboard!! they r always at the top of the charts and album sales lmao
First act in history actually
If you like rap, you will love Stray Kids! Try ‘Heyday’ ‘Muddy water’ ‘maze of memories’ ‘Topline’ or ‘Freeze’ next. Those are more of their rap songs. Some of those are group songs and some are with only a couple of members.
MAZE OF MEMORIES FOR REAAAAL
I’m impressed by how quickly you recognised Chris’ (bangchan) aussie accent and made reference to Onefour. He’s also from Sydney.
7:08 these lyrics always tickled me. Not just for the word play, but also because Bang Chan can't handle spicy food at all 😂
🤣I was thinking of that too!
Like Chan can't handle spice at all and the other two aren't that good with it either.
1:33 Yes they are. They just made/ created a new record by being the 1st group ever to have their last 6 albums to debut at the top of the Billboard 200 charts.Beating the Jonas Bros at 5 albums.

Pretty sure this song exists bc changbin and han wanted to try drill and asked bang chan to make them a drill beat and this was the result
Channie the genius fr 😩

1:34 Yessirrr, They've just set a record of being the first ever artists in history to have 6 consecutive albums top on the Billboard 200
You HAVE to react to Zone by 3racha, it's an older one but goes hardd
Seconding this!
Heyday, Muddy Water, Zone, We go, Maze of Memories, Topline, Megaverse.
Chan is Aussie and the leader of the group.
They top chart yes. They've just became the first group to have their first 6 albums on Billboard enter at number 1.
I got it by Han of Stray Kids is also a really really good one. ps : 3Racha is the producing unit of Stray Kids they do all their songs
I second that, Han's I Got It, that is 😊
Same😊. I got it is a masterpiece
Make him react to full hop album bro gotta bust out

There is another 3racha song heyday it’s also a little drill
Everyone sends to be forgetting ITEM, big brother to JJAM.

You should definitely check out more Stray Kids. Maybe the music videos to their groups sonds is a good start. People usually start off with God's Menu :)
Their latest album has one song called 'BOUNCE BACK'. I'm sure you'll like it. But yes, as it is half korean and half english song, u should use color coded lyrics for that too.
Other recs from their discography: I Got It, HEYDAY, We Go, Zone, Maze Of Memories, The Tortoise And The Hare, Venom, Just Breathe by SKY-HI (ft.3racha)
HEYDAY 3RACHA AND EASY SKZ
If u like rap, u'll enjoy 3RACHA Heyday and StrayKids Topline❤
Love this reaction! Always gpod to see rap fans discorver these guys.
to answer some of the comments on the lyrics:
When Changbin says his eyes are bloodshot, it's meant because they make music overnight between their schedules so they don't sleep.
Also when Han references tiki taka he's talking about how in 3 racha they pass raps around and finish eachothers flow in skz songs. It's a reference to passing the ball in soccer (and being good at it haha)
Lastly, whenever they yell SHUT UP it's actually a reference to STORMZY because they got a lot of insperation from his songs.
If you like rap, skz is definitely worth checking out more. I recommend Bounce Back which is a new track with all the members. Plus The Tortoise and the Hare which is more experiemental rap.
Happy listening
Their are 3 subunits in straykids:
1. 3RACHA- BANGCHAN,CHANGBIN, AND HAN
2. DANCERACHA- LEEKNOW,HYUNJIN AND FELIX
3. VOCALRACHA- SEUNGMIN AND I.N
3:01 Yes, 3Racha are these three members of Stray Kids, the producing team.
0:32 it’s not what they’re mostly known for 😅 but regardless it slaps
I think he’s referring to 3RACHA by themselves? Not necessarily that exactly, but they’re known for having close ties to similar ones.
I watched your channel because of Balkan reactions, and now seeing you also react to kpop made me really happy. Stray kids is absolutely a great choice, I recommend XG- woke up and Milli-mirror mirror
Love ur reactions bro! 3RACHA are a subunit of StrayKids they are also the producers of the group.
As u mentioned Bang Chan is Australian
Pls react to BTS - UGH!, its just the rapline of BTS and its one of the best rap songs u will ever hear, but u have to pay close attention to the lyrics
1) They certainly do top charts. They've topped Billboard a few times. 2) Bang Chan is Australian, as is Felix (not shown here). 3) These three are 3Racha, a subunit of Stray Kids, and these three are the producers of the group. They write, compose, and produce their music. 4) They're absolutely at the top of their game. :)
Thanks for reacting to Stray Kids/3RACHA! You brought a lot of experience to the reaction that I really appreciated specifically about the line referencing Australian rappers. I hope you react to more Stray Kids!
So glad you checked this one out! Stray Kids discography is insanely versatile, i genuinely think theyve got something for everybody.
I think two more that you'd enjoy the most are I Got It, which is a solo track by Han (he did the second verse on this track). And Bounce Back from thier most recent album. They both have a more agressive tone that fits well if you like this kind of vibe.
Stays (the fanbase) really like watching reactors who are fans of one type of thing enjoy or be impressed by how the kids incorporate that into their music. If you want to react to something of theirs thats a little more well known and has all 8 group members, I'd go with Megaverse for sure.That song has some impressive rap and is a little closer in genre to what most of their title tracks / singles sound like.
stray kidsss ❤ I love how you got the references! and yes, 3RACHA is the production unit, with Bang Chan being the leader of skz and Han and Changbin the main rappers.
I highly recommend their new album, HOP, especially the title track Walkin On Water which has many references to 90s hip-hop.
Zone is fire too! As for like a stray kids song The Tortoise and the Hare is really experimental and interesting
Maybe their recent, walking on water
You should listen to Megaverse by stray kids it’s rap song
The majority of their body of work is based in Hip-Hop. I would say that trap lays the foundation for most of their music, especially their like 2020-2023(ish) releases. They've been doing more boombap and rock based stuff recently, too. Although, they have always done a mirad of genres.
Bang Chan was the one that made the beat for this song. And he co-produced it with one of his producer friends (and commonly credited producer on SKZ’ music), VERSACHOI. It was of course written by all three members of 3RACHA.
bangchan is australian, he grew up there ; (off topic) felix was the one that was born in australia
3 Racha is this three - the sub unit that does most of the writing and producing for Stray Kids. Talented clever boys! Try Jjam next. I mean, I've got eleven of their albums now & they're no skip listening for me so you could go for any of their tracks really.
Heyday, we go, snd zone are also 3racha favorites. Stray kids as a whole has a long discography in general multi genre and they produce almost all their music. Easy, hall of fame, gods menu, muddy water, topline, bounce back etc
Have you ever heard COME PLAY, off the soundtrack for Arcane? You might like it. Stray Kids paired up with Young Miko to sing Tom Morello's track.
👍👍👍
I love watching reactions of this song cos bare people always gag when it gets to Bang Chan’s part; the “ohh rahhh” the lines, the delivery, the swagger. Fun fact; He also made the beat and the only one from the group who can make beats and instrumentals.
Looking forward for more 3racha and stray kids. And yesss they’re topping the charts like no others. Whatever they say in the lyrics are true. And yup, their music scores are frightening.
Us British Stays are really hoping that this song will make the setlist when they are performing at Tottenham Stadium next summer🤞
Our unofficial anthem!🔥
Subbed - really hope you'll check out more SKZ. They're seriously just something else. I think (as a full group) you'd really enjoy "Megaverse".
We Go is a UK Grime track that has prpbably the best technical rapping in a group album. It's also by Stray Kids.
My man chan is australian😩
They have had 6 consequtive number one album in the american billboard chart.
They are kpop stars, no alcohol or drugs allowed. They have to always be squeeky clean and family friendly.
3racha is the mini group in stray kids that do all the writing and producing. They are the only K-pop band that does all their own writing and producing.
Bang chan is Australian... he is also the leader, and in my opinion, the backbone of talent in stray kids.
I can't wait to see more stray kidz reactions from you. You are in for a ride!!! Lol
Great reaction! New subscriber here! I recommend you to react to HEYDAY by 3Racha too and FREEZE and TOP LINE by Stray Kids (The whole group). 🔥
Some stuff i have to say.. 1st of all, unlike most kpop groups, these mfs are self produced, making their own music.
2nd, they have 2 of the best rappers in korea (Changbin and Han), and the others in the groups rap very well too. These 2 plus bang chan are 3racha, they were a hiphop trio since before stray kids was formed, uploading songs to SoundCloud without their company knowing.
3, they have a huge discography with a lot of genres, but what they're mostly known for is very hype trap stuff.
4. im surprised u were only locked in on the lyrics and didn't pay attention to the flow and diction which is imo extraordinary.
I hope u check them out more cuz theyve got a lot you would love. Genuinely the best music out of korea. The recs in comments are great.
Yeah, fun reaction. More stray kids please! There’s already some good suggestions. I think I’d throw my lot in with another 3Racha song (the producing/rapping sub-group) and ask for Heyday.
Also, love: Item, Domino, Hall of Fame, Bounce Back, Comflex, Miroh (super fast rap section), Megaverse, Victory Song, and Wolfgang for starters 😁.
You’ll find Stray Kids fans are great reaction supporters.
Yess 3Racha!!
Stray Kids everywhere all around the world!
2nd comment:
3Racha wrote (and Stray Kids performed) a song that's on the official Deadpool and Wolverine soundtrack.
It's called SLASH. Here's a lyrics video (although I think a few of the translated lyrics are incorrect on this video, from what a few Korean speakers have said.)
th-cam.com/video/dhj4fK24jnM/w-d-xo.html
👍👍👍
If you liked this song you can check out heyday, we go, maze of memories, muddy water, and freeze I think you will like these songs. Also, I would like to suggest to react to agust d (haegeum) it is also rap. Thanks for the reaction! ❤❤❤
2:00 it means that they've been up working all night until sunrise which is why the eyes are bloodshot
Everyone is spot on in the comments. Keep reacting, you will appreciate their varied and various raps throughout their music.
hear. me. out.
1. Heyday
2. We Go
3. Bounce Back
4. Freeze
5. Zone
There's still Zone & Heyday! And under this link you will find everything that was published by 3Racha before Stray Kids existed. www.youtube.com/@3racha44/videos
They also actually have a song in the arcane too called Come Play, you should check it out!❤
Welcome to the rabbit hole!!! Heyday if you want more of 3racha by themselves..Highly reccomend Topline fet. Tiger JK for a whole group..Item, Megaverse, victory song, double knot, easy, JJAM , Venom..you can't go wrong with anything they put out!!!!
1:34 they are the some of the youngest to join as full members of KOMCA ( Korean music copyright association) so they have a lot of writing credits (I believe Chan is close to 200 atp Changbin has 170 and Han 160)
1:54 bloodshot from working all night on their music
2:48 3racha is the name of the production unit of stray kids, they started as a underground trio while they were still trainees. It has also inspired other names for “sub-units” in the group i.e. dance-racha vocal-racha, pabo-rocha.
Chan actually has over 200 now lol
6th straight album just went #1 on billboard top 200.
So, yeah. They toppin’ charts. Though this song is a bit older.
New subs! Please react more of Stray kids.❤
Yes! They just broke an historical record on the Billboard 200, they’re the first act to have their first 6 consecutive albums hit #1 on the chart
Loving it! Go for it! ❤
“3RACHA” is the name of the production sub-unit within Stray Kids, consisting of Bangchan, Changbin, and Han. These three are also the main rappers. Stray Kids consists of eight members and all of them sing, rap, and dance, but everyone has a specialty. Their main vocalists are called “Vocalracha” and their main dancers “Danceracha”. 😄
Stray Kids/3Racha produce most of their own music and they’re absolutely incredible at blending multiple genres within one song. If you want to check out more of their music I would highly recommend these group songs which include everyone:
God’s Menu (2020) - this is the song that made me a fan.
Venom (2022)
Megaverse (2023)
Walking on Water (2024) - a brand new banger.
This is just scratching the surface. They have so much good music. 🔥
They have topped billboard 200 for the sixth time with their album and many other charts, it’s actually true.
3racha's matryoshka, we go, zone, and heyday is also a bangerrr
Ode to HAN for wanting to try drill, trap and fast rap with 3racha. Some of the best rap songs they have is cause he entertained the idea of it and Bangchan put his magic into it with HAN brother Changbin getting into it. Love them so much bruh
Bang Chan didn’t put his magic into it. He MADE it. Han and Changbin wanted to try drill and they asked him to make a beat and instrumental they can try on and Bang Chan did, it’s not “magic” it’s his hard work. An idea isn’t a song by the way so no, some of the best rap songs that they have is not because of an idea, it’s cos of the killer instrumental (by Bang Chan) Lyrics and Composition (by 3racha)
Bang chan and Felix are Aussies ❤
im here for all the skz stuff u drop after this! u can never go wrong with this group
I started listening to K-pop rap because of 3RACHA
Heyday bruh🎉
If you like this, you should react to Heyday by Stray Kids, it's the same people
Are they really topping charts? Sir, they are the only ones to have 6 consecutive albums nr1 on the billboard album chart in music history 🔥
We go, hey day, broken compass, zone by 3 racha !!! My best 3racha rap song 🔥🔥🔥
Slash
Tortoise and the hare
1:37 "Are they really out here topping charts?"
Yes! They recently broke the record for most consecutive albums to top the Billboard 200 at 6 consecutive albums in just a few years.
One of my favourite 3racha songs is 'Just Breathe'- they reference it in this song with the '3racha breathing' line- it's a collab with Japanese rapper Sky Hi. For full Stray Kids songs if this is your style I recommend 'Bounce Back' from their latest album Hop/合, 'Topline', and 'Megaverse'. They're a really creative group though and cover all genres, one thing they are known for though is playing with rhythms and mixing sounds. You can hear some similar track sounds as are in this song used completely differently in a recently released song 'Hallucination' by I.N one of the Stray Kids members- it was composed by one of the 3racha members but adapted into a vocal style song later, you don't notice it until you pay close attention but it's a good example of how they like to mix sounds associated across genres to make something fresh and new.
Next song to react to: Heyday 🔥🔥
Listen to 3Racha “Heyday” , song 🔥 ❤
as a croatian, i keep coming back for the jala and buba reactions but im so glad to see stray kids here too!!!
I loved how you got most of the references and noticed quite a few things while paying attention to the lyrics. Really appreciate it. You’ll love these:
We Go
Zone
Heyday
Bounce Back (the newest release here being just few weeks old)
Maze of Memories (this is a masterpiece but if you search just click on the 8 members version please)
I Got It by Han
Muddy Water
Love stray Kids!!
They also have a rap song featuring the band's rap line called Muddy Water, I hope you check it out!!!
This is the production group of Stray Kids, they have over 450 song credits between the 3 of them.
Stray kids is wayyy fire. Muddy Water -another unit song, and I also suggest their song Easy. 3racha is indeed a subunit that existed before Stray Kids was even formed. They produce, compose, and write all of the groups discography.
Also suggest their song group XG and their (what I call) mini -song “Hesonoo and XGene” it’s part performance but also a song inspired by drill. XG has some amazing rap if you’re interested. Their Tapes are all fire as is some of their more recent releases Woke Up and Howling. They have other releases but not as rap heavy. Great reaction!
Straykids has a song for any genre you want. Trust me you won’t regret checking more of them out!!
1:35 its true, Stay kids holds world reccors to be the first act ever to have 6 albums in row debuting on 1st place on billboard 200, the also have the second biggest albums sales in the USA after talor swift, the broke the reccord last year for the most pre order album ever for their 5 star album with about 5 milion copies. Recentlly they won the billbord award kop group of the year if Im not mistaken and preformed there. Also won last year vma and are the third most streamd kpop group.
3:06 3racha is the subunit in stray kids, they re the produsing team of 3 stray kids members that write, compose stray kids songs, they were thing before stray kids were created.
3:24 thats bangchan stray kids leader and hes in fact from Australia
8:11 3racha has over 500 credit songs betwen them with bangchan being the third most credited idol in kpop with over 200 song credits
8:33 I would highly reccomend heyday
Woah, chart toppers, yes! Record breakers too, globally. Their discography is huge! You’re in for a treat with Stray Kids, and 3Racha! 😂 They’re absolute 🔥🔥🔥
Bang Chan, and another member of the group named Felix, are both australian actually hahaha. And yes, 3RACHA are the 3 members that are the producers for 99% of their music
Heyday, Zone, We go by 3Racha are tracks I'd highly recomend. I got it and Topline I think you'd enjoy as well. These guys don't play around!
2:48 3Racha (pronounced like Three raw-cha) are the production unit of Stray Kids and consists of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han (the three people rapping in the song) "Racha" is Spanish for "Gust of Wind" however 3racha is also a word play for the hot sauce Sriracha..so practically they're saying their like 3 powerful typhoons coming your way with some spoicy and flavorful music!
You should try Heyday, also by 3racha. It also has a lyric video and is amazing
HeyDay slaps!
