During the most recent Jessi Showterview episode, someone in the comments said they need a list of my favorite Korean rappers/K-Rap songs.

I collected a small list for them but once I got on a roll I figured, "Eh, why not just go all the way?" I'm sure some people may appreciate some good recommendations!

So I curated a playlist of 50 songs. These are in no particular order other than the fact that the front end of the playlist is all OLD Korean hip-hop/rap and the second half is the modern stuff I like. In particular, I describe the song "Birds that must fly until they die" is a song that I think describes who I am to the core of my soul so check it out!

Hopefully some, if not most of these, are to your tastes! There's 50 songs here so I'm sure some of them will be some good finds for you all. But yeah, these are some of my top favorite Korean hip-hop songs. It's not all of it but it's what I can name off the top of my head for now!

Feel free to comment below which of the songs you liked and how much of the playlist you already knew! Would love to see your reactions to some of the songs :D

This is an awesome playlist. I'm seeing Epik High next month in my city and I'm so stoked, even better that Woosung is a guest performer.

I know just about a half of the playlist (mostly modern stuff). And I'm so excited to listen to the rest of it! pH-1 must be one my favorite khh artists so I'm glad to see him here Thanks for sharing your recommendations with us, PD♡

Thanks for sharing this, PD. Since you're in such a giving mood, though... Can you also give us your Kawaii Kills playlist? Pretty please?!

Thanks PD for the list, I only start listen KHH songs since 2015 after watch SMTM4, know most of the songs from behind the list, but the front old songs are worth to try them out 🤩

This playlist made me realise that it’s kind of weird I’ve been a fan of Running Man for so long. But never really listened to much Leessang/Gary music.

Oh my god, it's been so long since I've seen the Jepp Blackman name! I used to listen to "I'm Ballin" so much 😂 I wonder if you ever got to check out Yongguk's latest release from the end of last year? He said he's planning to release a full album sometime in the first half of this year if you're interested!

PD omg you are amazing THANK YOU 🙌 literally about to play it on my way to uni

Petra Kamali

ooooooh, as someone who is terrible at trying to find different artists to listen to, this is amazing! can't wait to discover new music, thank you PD :)

hey pd did you know that mc mong did a song with a 13 year old fetus b.i and 12 years later b.i produced a song for him🥺

I never really went deep on Epik High and their members. I listened through the whole list and my god they have so many good songs. Tablo's Thank you for breathing is my favorite this far. I really enjoy "Because I'm a man" by MC mong as well. All I knew from him before was Fame. Thanks for exposing me to these golden songs

Claire

I went to an Epik High concert in 2019 and they are so good!! (as expected) it's one of the best concerts I've been to. Thanks for the songs PD!

Oh wow I haven't heard a LeeSsang song in AGES. Even before I knew what kpop or khh was, Running Man was huge in Southeast Asia and that introduced me to LeeSsang; it was around 10 years ago that I first listened to them as a kid. Most modern khh isn't my taste but I love their songs especially due to the nostalgia, life was really simpler back then :') I haven't listened to my favourite song of theirs (나란 놈은 답은 너다) for so long and hearing this again after I've grown up makes me miss being a child and having nothing to worry about. Thanks for the playlist!! :D

yeah uhhh you know the song indian boy? that was him! he literally became know as ‘that little indian boy’. they did a bunch of performances together on music shows together too, and (insane cultural appropriation of 2009 kpop/khiphop aside), it’s kind of adorable. mc mong called him ‘the first young talent he found’

“He was a very gentle child. He made a happy birthday song for me. I always produced songs for him, but 15 years later, he produced a song for me."
