I can’t seem to listen to anything except Epik High and Kpop like the previous year with the occasional Western music that are mainly sleeping or wanna-belt-out-a-tune music. It’s hard for me to search for anything outside of Kpop, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Epik High (Hangul: 에픽하이) is a South Korean alternative hip hop group from Seoul, composed of Tablo, Mithra Jin, and DJ Tukutz. Epik High Is Here (Part 1) is their tenth full length studio album.

Anything Epik High release, I have no choice to listen to; it’s a necessity like breathing.  Epik High Is Here (Part 1) may not be a sleepy album like their previous album, but it’s nonetheless a hit in my book from the times I’ve belted out to their songs for the first half of 2021. They never fail to release fantastic songs that continue to mesmerize me.
