Follow Me – J-DOGG (라임버스)
Korean | Hip Hop
I was really surprised by this song since I had never heard of him before and I haven’t really been into Korean hip-hop. The song has a great beat, not too fast, not too slow. The vocals go really well, nice and mellow during the chorus, but is still able to contrast well with the rap.
Love Latte (Duet with 유진) – 김진우
Korean | Pop
I’m not too sure about this particular song. The beginning is nice and mellow and I thought it was going to stay with its jazzy sound but then once the chorus starts, the tempo picks up a bit and stays that way for the rest of the song. They also added something to alter the sound of their voices (can’t remember what it’s called) slightly – you hear it more in the chorus – which I’m kind of…weirded out by considering that their voices were perfectly fine on their own.
널 놓치지 말걸 – MC 한새, 스윈(Swin)
Korean | R&B
There isn’t anything overly special about this song. It has a very typical R&B sound to it. I like the singing as opposed to the rap in the song (glad they didn’t do this all throughout the song) since I kind of wished they had someone with a deeper voice to do it.
Keep It Goin’ On – ROM-4 (I think!)
Japanese| Hip Hop-ish
Sorry! I don’t really know who these guys are. All I know is that this is from a drama from a few years ago. It’s got a nice beat to it and I really like the guitar in the background. Both the rap and the singing goes really well with the song.
삶을 살아가 (Feat. Mellow) – J-DOGG (라임버스)
Korean | Hip Hop
Sorry. I couldn’t help ending with another one of J-DOGG’s songs. Similar to the rotation’s first song, it’s got a nice mid-tempo beat and Mellow’s vocals aren’t too high up in the register (works really well and doesn’t make the song sound overly sweet). I think this is my new favorite song to listen to.
