Epik High - 따라해 (Wannabe) MV

Epik High - [e]

Epik High has a new music video out for 따라해 (Wannabe). The music video is a parody of the 2006 Korean blockbuster monster movie The Host. The Host is one of the most critically acclaimed and highest-grossing Korean films of all time.



Here's the trailer of The Host. You can see some how Epik High parodied some of the most gut-wrenching scenes from The Host. The monster in The Host looks really horrifying, but in the 따라해 (Wannabe) version they made the monster appear more like a cross-breed between Bowser and Domo-kun.

Epik High - Remixing the Human Soul at the Map Lab

Epik High has released a little teaser video of their studio recording sessions at their "Map Lab" for their new upcoming album Remixing the Human Soul.

Dumbfoundead interviews Tablo from Epik High

After completing his Map The Soul tour in the United States, Tablo from Epik High did an interview with Dumbfoundead on behalf of The Urban Decadance right in Dumbfoundead's crib. It's a real short interview and the duration is about 6 and a half minutes. Its really interesting to see both Tablo and Dumbfoundead mesh together in this interview because on one hand, they are both Koreans who share the love of hip hop, but on the other hand they are shaped by two completely different cultures and different music scenes. When asked about the Korean music industry, Tablo said that that there isn't much diversity of music genres and everything is basically pop music. To top that off, Tablo was saying that because the way the Korean media is structured, it leaves no room for underground rap artists to get any media attention. Tablo also said that he was working on some tracks in Dumbfoundead's crib (collaboration track, hint hint).
