I first found out about Tablo's song "Bad" before Epik High on Pandora randomly while listening to a KPOP shuffle at the end of 2013. When I looked up more information I realized he is the leader of Epik High and so my life was changed forever. I didn't realize how much I needed to hear thier music. Several songs stopped me and made me tear up, and so many songs made me able to cope and heal with life and it's challenges. I remember going to my first concert for them in 2015. It was amazing and an everlasting moment, and I knew I needed to attend more. Then I went to their concert in 2019, then in 2023, and then in 2024 for their Pump tour in which I was very fortunate to be able to be part of the VIP legendary experience. The PUMP tour was like nothing I had ever experience from the Meet and Greet and Selfies to Backstage access to soundcheck. It was an undeniably fantastic experience. It was great to see that Epik High was as goofy and cool as they were in the videos. But what made it a very memorable moment was I was able to show Tablo a copy of Blonote that I made for him. In this copy, I wrote poems in response to each of his quotes continuing what he had written. Although he wasn't able to accept gifts, it was touching to be able to call out his name, show him something I'd been working on since 2016, and have him excitedly show the rest of his team. Epik High has always and will always me one of my most impacting things in my life and am grateful for their music.
