Beyond K-Pop: Rap
Hi, and welcome back to Silver Linings, where the maligned, forgotten, and ignored are at the mic. Thanks to my significant other Ally, I have gotten very acquainted with South Korea's music scene. Also thanks to her, my acquaintance with the scene doesn't start or end at K-Pop. I've already done four articles pointing to acts from the area worth listening to if you're sick of BTS or BlackPink, but there are so many more. Today, I'm turning the focus to the rappers. See, for the longest time, it was thought that, due to the unusual structure of the language, rap was impossible in Korean. However, people like Verbal Jint have proven otherwise, and the rap scene exploded over there. It got to the point that idol groups were making a point of including rappers in their line-ups. Of course, RM, Suga, and J-Hope from BTS are the most famous examples, but they're far from the only ones. Today, I'm turning the spotlight to ten Korean rappers who've got the flow to rival the best of our hip-hop artists. Some are part of idol groups, some are still underground, but they can all bust a rhyme like few can.

Interview with Accent Sorrow
So, to begin with, I met the artist who would become Accent Sorrow about 5 or 6 years ago through one of my closest friends. I didn't have too many initial reactions of him, though I did know I wasn't a tremendous fan of his taste of music. Coincidentally, it was indirectly through this particular set of musical tastes that I came to determine that my thinking about music had ossified, and I'd reached the age where I thought the music "of my generation" was the best, and everything new sucked.

Paving the Way
As a twenty one year old rapper with not a lot of connections in the music industry and residing in a city where the music scene isn’t up to par it can be a struggle getting your music heard. Social media inclines your ability to spread your music but limits you as an artist in my opinion.
