·         Shangri-La by VIXX

The group has made their comeback with an incredible track that takes you in to that sound that distinguish them, with great moves on their choreography.

But contrary to other songs from KPOP this one doesn't have that English hook, they emphasis on the eastern poetics.

After almost two years, iKON has finally made their comeback with the singles "B Day" and "Bling Bling". Both tracks are part of the project "New Kids" which begins with one title "Begin". These songs take us back to what makes this group so good, their great hip-hop vibe and incredible energy.

·         Too Much by Loco ft DEAN & Da Da Da by Loco ft Hoody

The album by rapper Loco, Bleached, have incredible tracks. That is why it was so difficult for me to choose one from it. Instead I decided to show you the two tracks that I like the most from it.

a.       "Too Much" was produced by Gray, and the vocals from it are from singer/rapper DEAN.

b.       "Da Da Da" was wrote by both artist, Loco and Hoody. But on this track, we get to hear the vocals rather than the rapping from Loco.

Well, that’s all for now. Hope you guys come back next month for great music. Like and share!!
