The Korean king and queen of hip hop, Tiger JK and T(asha), are coming out with a global project called SUNZOO. T's full name is Natasha Shanta Reid, and her Korean name is Yoon Mi-Rae/윤미래. Tiger JK's name is Seo Jung-kwon/서정권.The two are married with a son named Jordan, but that they are at the top of the hip hop world in Korea is no coincidence. They each have broken through many of Korea's cultural barriers with their music and will continue to do so worldwide with their global project.
They are joined by producer Illmind (worked with Eminem, LL Cool J, and 50 Cent), Rok Codero (directed mv's for John Legend, Rick Ross, WuTang, and Jay-Z), Roscoe Umali, Styliztik Jones, and more.
Illmind even tweeted about the project, giving his support. Read more about the people involved on their blog.
I can't wait to see how their project is going to do. They make some really great music, listen to one of the SUNZOO's songs below:
Speaking of hip hop, everyone should go check out Elvin's blog on hip hop and how it has been changing. Tiger JK was one of Korea's hip hop pioneers, and I hope that he can bring out the true hip hop in the world.
