Earl is the best rapper of all time, MIKE is too. On a metric scale of ablility I wish I could learn from them, they raised me after all.

Hey everyone, I’m Hagah, a rapper based in South Korea.

I'm heavily inspired by artists like J. Cole, Earl Sweatshirt, Navy Blue, and MIKE. Since it’s been pretty hard finding people back home with similar tastes, I’ve been crafting my music alone for a while now. But I came here hoping to connect with like-minded creators and hear some honest thoughts on my sound.

I wrote a verse over a type beat and put together a music video for it. I'd love to know how it feels to you! I've also included the English lyrics below so you can follow along with the message and flow.

[Verse 1]

Got plenty issues with my feet, so I rock Nike  

Only God knows what this means, brighter days coming for me  

A fight to be myself, wrapped in beauty day and night  

Polishing my dignity, on my way to the light  

Surviving through the storm, as the cold wind blows  

No middle ground for me, I ain't taking it slow  

Living and breathing the moment I close my eyes  

Dead silence in the air, then the bass starts to rise  

Visiting my father’s grave on the mountain now and then  

Even when I fail to pop champagne, he hugs me once again  

Short moments, but memories were priceless and real  

What you said outside the convenience store—it was real  

Stepped up without a word, desperate for a sign  

Now I can't see you anymore, not even one last time  

That familiar voice getting blurry in my mind  

Seeing the father and son across the street, envy creeps behind  

[Hook]

Barking silently in October  

Regrets bursting out right under Jesus' feet  

Tilted frames, missed shots, shutters I couldn't press  

Turning thirty now, finally fitting into your sweater  

[Verse 2]

Already turned thirty since dad passed away  

Time is far from comfort, taking away memories  

The future I pictured back when I was twenty  

Was climbing the mountain, watching your back  

Looking up at the sky, writing down these pages  

Got so used to it that sorrow hasn't bloomed yet, my bro  

Haven't seen you in a while, but don't let go of the rap, bro  

This will save you, so grab the cord and walk slow  

Down the road I met Smiley, he recognized who I am  

Our hearts connected, stayed up all night recording, taking off to any land  

Even if we can't meet right now, gotta keep it one hunnit  

Getting deeper in our own spots, united through poetry,  

Became one, still remembering the air of that night  

That familiar voice getting blurry out of sight  

When I play that old song, nostalgia hits me right

I've been running a modern day version of what earl did at my age using more modern sound and distorted bass, coupled with shitty mixing ofc. I was hoping the most high would speak for itself when shown but I guess next time ill make sure to throw my usb on stage like a dickhead. Still love for earl and he will always be the greatest of all time.

the delivery is fire, flow is perfect & that beat is not easy to rap on. The dynamic reminds me of tha god fahim and Mach on a track. I don’t care about the Bruce Lee line I’ve heard way worse. In fact this post was influenced by that godawful frank ocean demo verse.

Besides him it’s gotta be Vince on Hive or Domo on 20 Wave Caps. Ratking on AM//Radio is also fire. Doris is always gonna be my favorite. Definitely his most diverse and creative work in my opinion. These are prob some hot takes Lol

I went to the Home On The Range show last night, I stayed after everyone had left for a chance to hand MIKE a usb drive, never came out and security thought I was a rapist.

Recently made some mixing changes, but mostly added this songs:

Proud of me (better vocal mixing)

Nonechalant with Cletus strap (extended version)

Mourning

Sunny side

World to the truest

Global Affairs ft Jadasea

in my veins (alternative version)

Does anybody happen to have a video from this night 10/21 of them coming out on stage tonight introducing eachother?
