Simon D is nervous about his upcoming solo album

Supreme Team's Simon D is feeling the pressure. The star is preparing to release his first solo album, and he's concerned about its success. Simon D was widely popular in the underground as 'Simon Dominic' prior to his mainstream debut with Supreme Team, and so he technically isn't new to the 'solo' game. He's anxious in not just doing well for himself, however, but for his team as well. One reason for Simon D's individual project is that fellow member E-Sens has had lung-related health issues since the beginning of this year. As such, the rapper has taken a temporary hiatus from the music industry in order to recover. Rather than cancelling all events and promotions, Simon D took on the burden of performing by himself. A representative of their entertainment company, Amoeba Culture, explained that with the recent successes of Korean hip-hop veterans Leessang and Verbal Jint, Simon D feels extra pressured to continue the high streak. "Although he hasn't said it explicitly himself, Simon D is so physically and mentally overwhelmed by the burden of solo promotions that he even considered delaying the album release. However, he's been working diligently for the past eight months and will prove his musical confidence when it finally goes public. He is very disappointed and sorry that he will not be able to perform on stage with feellow member E-Sens, but promises to work even harder to make up for his absence." Simon D's collaborative work with producer Loptimist will be released on October 7th. Source & Photo: Star News via Naver
