Please Don’t Go – CL and Minzy (2NE1)

YouTube Preview Image

Can 2NE1 do any wrong? CL and Minzy--the youngest members of the Korean HipTronik quartet--have embarked on their own, bringing us the addictive track "Please Don't Go." The song starts off with both girls displaying their raw talent for the flow and culminates in a contrastingly sweet pop chorus. The dance number was produced by YG's own Park Teddy, who's been on a roll of late with hit tracks for fellow Korean HipTronik stars Tae-Yang and G-Dragon. Meant to serve as a treat for fans in light of the postponement of 2NE1's first full-length album, we don't think their fans will go anywhere soon.

Fire – 2NE1

YouTube Preview Image

2NE1 is the latest group to emerge from the legendary Korean hip hop label, YG Entertainment, along with their hiptronik label mates Big Bang. Produced by Park Teddy, the girl band’s first single, “Fire,” interlaces electronica with an intoxicating reggae beat already burning up the charts. Their music video garnered one million hits its first day on YouTube and earned several awards, including “Song of the Month.” 2NE1 is clearly paving the way for the hiptronik movement in Korea, but with their popularity showing no signs of slowing down, the rest of Asia is probably not far behind.
