Biography

Epik High is applauded as Korea’s most prominent hip hop artist in the 21st century. Their concise, yet powerful rap is the perfect vessel for the rhyming lyrics with a heavy dose of their unique, quirky philosophy. Their thoughtful reflections on social and historical events compel the audience to ponder about the meaning of life and social relationship. Another merit of their music is the balanced integration with other music genres, resulting in Epik High’s incomparable signature music style. The trio’s musical talent has drawn attention from not only noted Korean musicians, but also from foreign artists, which led to the participation of Japanese vocalist Emi Hinouchi in their fourth album. Their latest album showcases these three young men’s progressive ideas, delicate souls, and musical passion. But what makes Epik High so special is that they preserve their musical integrity without sacrificing their closeness with the general public.
