Throwback Thursday: K-R&B and K-Hip-Hop Collabs
K-R&B and K-Hip-Hop are genres that house so many iconic musicians that we all know and love like DEAN, Hyolyn, pH-1, Simon Dominic, JAMIE, and many more. Sometimes these artists from the two genres will collaborate, and today we are going to take it back to some K-R&B and K-Hip-Hop collabs you already might have in your playlist.
“Black Rose” - TAEMIN (Feat. Kid Milli)
Back in 2020, SHINee member and soloist TAEMIN released his album Never Gonna Dance Again: Act 1 - The 3rd Album. On the album, he had a song titled “Black Rose.” This song featured solo K-Hip-Hop artist Kid Milli which shocked us all. Being as though they are two artists from two different genres, it was great to see them come together to make this absolute banger. This song must be on everyone’s playlist and blasted through everyone’s speakers.
“PARADISE” - MILLIC (Feat. FANXY CHILD)
This song right here is so chill. It just has a certain vibe to it that is very laid back. The creator of this song is a DJ and producer and his name is MILLIC. On July 10, 2017, MILLIC debuted his first album VIDA. The album's title track was the song “PARADISE” which features R&B and rap group FANXY CHILD. The group consists of six members in total: ZICO, Crush, penomeco, Stay Tuned, DEAN, and MILLIC. This group is everything, having some of the biggest names in the K-R&B and K-Hip-Hop scene all in one group. It was phenomenal to see.
“NO ONE” - LEE HI (Feat. B.I.)
LEE HI is a well-known K-R&B artist with an amazing voice. Her voice is very angelic and graceful. On May 30, 2019, LEE HI released her track “NO ONE” on all platforms. The song featured now-solo artist and former iKON member B.I. It was a great touch to add his skillful rapping abilities to this song. Her soulful vocals and his smooth rapping skills merged perfectly together to create this catchy song. It was great to see them promote this song together on many stages as well. The stages were so much fun to watch and made us listeners love the song even more.
“No Blueberries” - DPR Ian (Feat. DPR Live, CL)
This song right here is so addictive. December 17, 2020, this song was released to the world. The artist behind this song is K-R&B/K-Hip-Hop artist DPR Ian. It is always great to hear from DPR Ian again and on this song, he definitely wowed us all. This song also features two other well-known names in the K-Hip-Hop scene: DPR Live and CL. It was incredible seeing these three powerhouses of K-R&B/K-Hip-Hop come together on a song and it had listeners super excited, and grasping for more. The combination of DPR Ian and CL's smooth vocals and DPR Live's marvelous rapping created a beautiful song that remains on repeat.
