Legendary veteran group Dynamic Duo has returned! With close to 20 years in the industry under their belt, the K-Hip-Hop/R&B duo of Gaeko and Choiza are back with a new single album titled, 2 Kids On The Block - Part.1. This latest single album is all about the nostalgia factor, going back to their roots of when they were first starting out and bringing back a classic sound that longtime fans know the duo for. 

Tracklist: 

  1. "Intro (Narration by Lee Byunghun)"

  2. "19"

  3. "All Day"

  4. "Pied Pipers (Feat. dj friz)"

Reflecting in “19”

As the title track of the single, “19” leads with reflection and calling back to their youth and when they first started getting into music, and how they were falling in love with hip-hop and R&B as kids and teenagers. Heavily influenced by iconic artists such as Notorious B.I.G, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, they knew that this was the music for them and was how they got into rap and hip-hop by performing where they could and building a name for themselves. 

The music video for “19” is simple but so wonderful as it further enhances the reminiscent meaning of their song. It features the duo setting up their studio space, but what is so great is that they’re decorating and organizing their space with older memorabilia of Dynamic Duo and other items that helped shape them as people. Whether it’s the worn-out Nike and Jordan shoes to a case full of vinyl records, to them literally organizing and displaying Dynamic Duo’s entire physical CD collection throughout the years, “19” is just a time capsule of wonderful memories. By the end of the music video, you see the duo sitting down, looking through an old album and talking about fond memories. As fans watch, you can’t help but swell with happiness and pride to see how long-lasting Dynamic Duo is and that they’re still continuing to bring out great music. 

From small humble beginnings to becoming this long-time veteran group in the music industry, Dynamic Duo has such an expansive and colorful discography that shows no signs of slowing down. There is something so comforting and feel-good when it comes to Dynamic Duo, and perhaps it’s because they consistently always offer up solid hip-hop and R&B songs that many fans resonate with. However, this is only the beginning of their return, as we can expect that Dynamic Duo has more in store for fans who have been with them all these years.
