Billlie’s main rappers have created the group’s first sub-unit, MOON SUA X SIYOON. On April 7, the duo released their first single in collaboration with rapper sokodomo, “SNAP (feat. sokodomo).” This digital single leans into a girl crush concept in contrast to Billlie’s usual whimsical concept. Moon Sua and Siyoon initially debuted in Billlie on November 10, 2021.
TRACKLIST:
“SNAP (feat. sokodomo)”
“SNAP (feat. sokodomo) (English Ver.)”
As expected, “SNAP (feat. sokodomo)” is a rap-heavy song. Its hip-hop beat with a fluctuating bassline gives the song a gritty feeling. This metallic, dark sound accompanies lyrics about MOON SUA X SIYOON’s cool and strong demeanor. These words demonstrate their tenacious drive to keep fighting for what they want: in other words, they snapped. The music video translates this message into a literal fight, where MOON SUA X SIYOON slash their way to victory with fencing swords.
sokodomo joins in the song briefly with a short verse; the different tones of the three rappers diversifies the song as its sound remains mostly the same throughout. Siyoon’s interlude following sokodomo’s verse transitions into a slower, mellow pace before returning to 170 BPM.
Since “SNAP (feat. sokodomo)” contains mostly English lyrics, a separate English version sounds similar. Billlie last experimented with English versions for “DANG! (hocus pocus)” and “BYOB (bring your own best friend)” in 2023. All in all, MOON SUA X SIYOON’s debut delivers a hard-hitting single with a complementary feature. MOON SUA X SIYOON has expanded on different concepts apart from Billlie’s discography.
