Rapper Kanto is coming back after a long hiatus, and he is kicking off his comeback with a pictorial through 'International bnt'!

The photo shoot had four concepts -- free, street mood, winter-wear, rough-look, and a masculine feel. In an interview that followed the photo shoot, Kanto discussed his 2-year hiatus and his experience with a slump while he was preparing for a new album. 

The rapper also talked about his new song, "Lonely" and how it not only contains a story of lovers but it also reflects his own experiences. As for choosing his favorite song from his own work, he picked "YOZM" that was a collaboration with Woozi from Seventeen. Kanto explained that the song could comfort everyone, including himself.
