[NEWS] CEO Yang Hyun Suk compares G-Dragon's music to Chinese food! (120917)

Tweet

Having made his first solo album comeback in three years with the release of ‘One of a Kind‘, G-Dragon is currently making an all-kill on the digital charts with his title track, "Crayon" , as of September 16th.

When asked by reporters to compare G-Dragon’s music to a dish, CEO Yang Hyun Suk in an interview with OSEN replied, “G-Dragon’s music, put simply, is like jjam-jja-myun (combination of black noodles and jjamppong, a Chinese-style noodle dish with vegetables and seafood).” [The two dishes are some of the most popular take-out Chinese food in South Korea. The word 'jjamjjamyun' is a portmanteau of'jjajangmyun' and 'jjamppong'.]

He stated, “For the past 15 years, I’ve been a DJ at a club. Even now, at least once or twice a month, I always turn music on so I know about the pop music trends of the world. G-Dragon’s music is music that you can’t find anywhere in the world. ‘Crayon’ is very provocative and experimental. Because electronica is becoming a global trend, hip hop is also following in the mix. Normally, artists will use electronic beats and rap on top of that. G-Dragon, however, didn’t mix it as a crossover, but rather used electronica as the base one of one verse and hip hop as the base of the second.”

Then what is the difference between mixing hip hop and electronica and separating hip hop and electronica in the same song?

He replied, “Because of the speed of the song, it’s really difficult to differentiate the two in one song together. I believe that I’ve never seen this done before in the international market.”

Thus is the reason why he chose the ‘jjam-jja-myun’ dish as a comparison to G-Dragon’s music. The dish takes one bowl and splits it in half so one can eat both the ‘jjajangmyun (black noodles)’ and ‘jjamppong (Chinese-style noodles)’ in the same dish – getting the best of both worlds.

He's really awesome!^o^

G-Dragon releases EP ‘One of a Kind’ (120915) Posted by ygfan25 on September 15, 2012

3 years after ‘Heartbreaker‘, G-Dragon has finally released his EP ‘One of a Kind‘.

This time around, G-Dragon has incorporated much stronger hip hop elements this time around. Listeners will also be able to get a better feel of the singer’s own thoughts and value systems, and the album consists of 7 songs total, worked on by G-Dragon himself as well as TEDDY PARK, CHOICE37, Choi Pil Kang, Ham Seung Chun, Kang Wook Jin, Tablo, and more.

His title track “CRAYON” was written and composed by both TEDDY and G-Dragon, and title ‘Crayon’ is a hybrid of ‘crazy’ and G-Dragon’s birth name, Jiyong. The title also means ‘Crazy On’, reflecting G-Dragon’s style of going all in for a new project. With this new track, listeners will be able to enjoy both hip hop and electronic music.

The album also consists of “One Of A Kind”, along with “That XX” that still managed to sweep the charts despite being labeled 19+, as well as “Missing You” featuring Jaurim‘s Kim Yoona, “Today” featuring NELL’s Kim Jong Wan, and “Ultimately” featuring an unnamed member of YG’s new girl group.

Check out his title track “CRAYON” below along with a preview of his new tracks.

[NEWS] G-Dragon Releases Music Video for Autobiographical "One of a Kind"! (120827)

Tweet

G-Dragon has released the music video for his new single One of a Kind, his first solo single in three years.

One of a Kind, a trendy hip-hop single that stands out with unique sounds, serves as an intro to G-Dragon’s upcoming solo album, and was composed by G-Dragon and Choice37, the YG producer who composed G-Dragon’s A Boy and Big Bang’s Bad Boy. The song will not be released officially as a separate single; it was only meant to be released in music video form.

Through lyrics such as ‘A talented bear, more a fox than a bear / A stuck up guy, so expensive’, ‘Young & rich / That’s me’, ‘I’m sorry I’m so popular’ and ‘Please look on kindly, don’t curse / Please look on cutely / Love me’, he tells those who still hold prejudices against him to loosen up and be a bit more generous.

The music video is glittered with designer items, living up to G-Dragon’s name in fashion. Luxury accessories and clothing from such brands as Chrome Hearts and Chanel dress G-Dragon up in a lavish and attractive style.

Taeyang makes a special cameo appearance near the end, showing the friendship the two Big Bang members boast.

Taeyang is also flanked by Choice37, YG’s trainer Hwang Ssa Bu and other crew members that helped G-Dragon be the man he is now to show their support for the singer’s comeback.

The music video was directed by Seo Hyun Seung, who directed Big Bang’s Fantastic Baby, G-Dragon’s "Heartbreaker" and other YG music videos.
