Epik High Lifts Up a Powerful “Rosario” Against their Enemies – Seoulbeats
When you first think of Epik High, your mind might stumble on Tablo’s creative lyrics, Mithra’s deep, resonant voice, or Tukutz’ weird-but-normal antics. Or, you’ll acknowledge their rich discography, which finds its roots all the way back in 2003. Lately though, what comes to mind is their unique array of featuring artists, which has increasingly

Dynamic Duo rapped out the catchy line, “In the end, a title song is needed.

Recently, I visited Paris. It was a magnificent place, but one thing I realized it is so much more than the sidewalk cafes and accordion players that you typically imagine when thinking of Paris.

2019 has let me down. Yes, the entire year. We’re not even halfway through but I am already fed up with everything. It’s not even that 2019 has been worse than 2018; it’s that I started with such high hopes that have all been dashed. So far, my country’s trying to de facto ban abortion,
