YG Family’s first collaboration in 6 years

It's been 6 years since YG Family's last collaborative effort. And in a few days they will release a new collaboration track called "What."

In 2002, YG Family released "Fancy Gentleman (멋쟁이 신사)," which featured G-Dragon while he was still a trainee. Now that he's all grown up, he will be leading the track alongside YMGA (Masta Wu and DM), Teddy, Kush, Perry, CL and more.

"What," will be released on the 10th on YMGA's debut album, "Made in R.O.K."

Because you know, Made in the R.O.K means you're a bad ass gangsta, raised on the rough streets of Seoul, and rapping about the hard knock life.


UPDATE: Our nowhere to be found writer "TheProdigy," magically appeared and wrote the same story, albeit more detailed. To be completely fair, here it is:
YG Family is the name which all the artists/producers in YG Entertainment go by.

YG Family's rapping duo YMGA (consisting of Masta Wu and DM) are coming out with a new album entitled "Made In R.O.K" However, the real news is that on this album, YG Family will be coming out with a new collaboration single entitled "What".

It's been six years since the YG Family got together and did a collaboration song. The last song they worked on together was "멋쟁이 신사" (Gentleman) and in the MV for that video you'll see G-Dragon as the cute little kid that raps. Now that G-Dragon is one of YG's biggest artists it's going to be interesting how to see how his role will change in the new song. Teddy of 1TYM and Kush and YG's newest female rapper, CL, are going to be rapping/singing in the song.

YG Entertainment officials say "With the big beat and the new members of YG, hip-hop 'Maniacs' all over will love the song."

This is kind of ironic for me because I was wondering when YG would do another collaboration single. My expectations are high after seeing and hearing CL killing it in Uhm Jung Hwa's "DJ". Females in YG have a strong record of failing when entering the Kpop industry but I really hope that she can help change that record.

@ Ryu85: YG Ent was the first one to bring Hip hop (or hip pop for those who are critical) into Korean mainstream. :T They’re part of history whether you like it or not especially when the president was part of Seo Taiji & Boys groups who started Kpop.

Haters to the left.

^ I think Jinhwan was still doing service at the time.
@ Serpantine, those girls in the back are Gummy and a group called Big Mama. Big Mama left a while ago. There’s still a number of “family members” missing from that picture though. This pic is from 2006 or something. Some people left and there’s still trainees and blah blah. YG is pretty big. It’s just hard to tell because a lot of people aren’t active right now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_hip_hop

“The first korea hip-hop album that featured hip-hop of South Korea was 3534’s first album in 1993. The first “rap” album that featured rap in every track was Kim Jin Pyo’s first album in 1997.“

you can’t argue with this end of topic.

Oct 07, 2008 - 03:02 AM

like if you wanna pinpoint who actual started kpop probably in mid 80’s to late 80’s by numerous of singers. But seotaiji & boys just revolutionized what kpop is today.

@loser your probably just like yo login name a loser! hahaha if you know how to read korean go check on the reliable sources they give you below dumbass. go check hiphopplaya.com they should give you a rough history which companies started hip hop and the history of korean hiphop in general.

i agree with Swiftly and peanutman they are the ones that started KPOP.

@loser, do you have source that YG Entertainment was the first company that started hip hop? cause you just claiming it by word of mouth without anything to back it up.

and yes wiki is a unreliable source @ times but great for school projects ^_^
