Favorite Music Discovery

Falling - Lim Kim

Apparently, Lim Kim has been around for quite some time, but she has been a great new discovery for me. It all started with this song with Sera Ryu reacting to it. I truly was pleased by the really great production mixed with her angelic vocals. I, then, knew I had to look up more about her and found she was on Arirang Radio to promote the new comeback. The full dive is on the way, but I certainly am intrigued by this creative mind. How about you?

How to Make an SM 2021 Song - ZSunder

ZSunder has been a producer that I have long admired since discovering Loona in their early days. Over the years, he has impressed me with the skill and efficiency of the compositions and understanding of the kpop sound. Before there was a breakdown of a Teddy/Blackpink song and now here's the presentation of a SM track. It's done to perfection, from the analysis to the execution. Get a load of this!!

Wayne Brady Ruined My Wedding... - No Chaser Podcast

Sorry, ya'll, I've got another podcast to drop on you all. This was a hilarious conversation between Tim Chantarangsu, Ricky Shucks, Nikki Blades, and guest, Wayne Brady. That's all you need to know. Haha! They go into how they know each other, how Wayne was supposed to officiate Tim's wedding, and so much more. My gut was busted for a whole hour through. Maybe it'll be the same for you!

Family Ties - Baby Keem feat. Kendrick Lamar

A grand return that only slightly overshadows the tracks foremost owner. Baby Keem and Kendrick collaborate over 3 different beats as they trade flows from cousin to cousin. Baby Keem starts off with that wild energy for the streets as some svenes overlay displaying the environment and lifestyle appropriate to the lyrics and delivery. Then by the third beat switch, Kendrick enters with a strong statement towards the top 5 in the industry, then maneuvering through dizzying flows and rhyme patterns that boggle the mind. The visuals also matches the intensity of Lamar's presentation of why he's still one of biggest threats in the rap game. Elite is the only judgment you can make after a first listen leaves us anticipating which artist tickles your fancy the most.
