Combination Platter is a club-banger track from the Korean female rapper, T (Tasha), from her Gemini album. This track was produced by DJ Hasabe, from Toyko, Japan. This is one of my favourite rap songs from T because she shows great versatility rapping in both English and Korean. Also, the instrumental by DJ Hasebe makes me want to rock my head back and forth. I have added the lyrics of the first verse and chorus of Combination Platter for you guys to read and dissect the lyrical genius of T. If you Asian rap fans ever throw a party, be sure to include this song in your playlist!
lyrics:
Friday night me and my girls hit the spot/ Step into the club, the DJ's spinnin hot/ Jams, the shit that makes you wanna dance/ here's your chance/ Now Everybody grab the first person that you glance at/ And Let the rhythm take control until your hands start to clap/ 'Cause once you catch the feelin yo there's no turnin back/ In fact, let's lock the place down and throw away the key/ With all of life's drama that's exactly what we need/ So-- set your mind free/ Let it come naturally/ Ain't gotta worry what these people might think of me/ Release your stress/ And let the drum beat your chest/ 'Cause Hasabe gonna break it down until we feelin blessed/ Yes/ He's got the beats and on the mic is Campo Lovely/ Who else could rock the crowd with a simple melody?/ Yo! From Seoul to Tokyo/ Let me see your heads go/ Back and forth to the rhythm, sing the chorus here we go/
Chorus
I like the way you talk I like the way you move I like the way you feel I know you feel the same way that I do You like the way I talk You like the way I move You like the way I feel I know you feel the same way that I do
Originally from Portland, Texas, T or Tasha Reid, is the first female rapper in Korea having debuted in 1997 with her former rap group Uptown and later the rap and r&b group Tashannie.
검은행복 (pronounced: Gum En Heng Bok) or "Black Happiness" is a song about T's struggle for self-acceptance being half-black and half-Korean while living in Korea, where the culture is racially prejudiced against people of dark skin color. This song is from her 4th album entitled 윤미래 (Yoon Mi Rae which is also her Korean name). Prior to her 4th album, T has released As Time Goes by (2001), Gemini (2002), and To My Love (2003). T married Tiger JK of Drunken Tiger in 2007 and they had their first-born son together in March 2008. Other than rapping, T also sings r&b, jazz and blues.
