Beautiful Lady – Icon ft. G-One (Eun Ji Won)
Not much is known about Icon, the latest hip hop group to hit the airwaves in Korea, but this track may be all the fanfare they need. Following a strikingly similar style to fellow Korean group Epik High, "Beautiful Girl" layers a repetitive hip hop verse over an electro base. Add in a change-up verse or two by Korean boy band alum, G-One--otherwise known as Eun Ji Won--and you have just the spark you need for a hit. The video features insane electronics and interactive technology, including a special phone which allows the main character to stalk the woman of his dreams. Intrigued yet? Icon's album "Vol. 1 Icontact" dropped just last week.
Wannabe – Epik High

Epik High is back! Straight off the release of their highly-anticipated sixth album, "[e]", "Wannabe" is a hiptronik gem. Epik High is well known in Korea for the pioneering they've done in the hip hop genre, and they do not disappoint.
"Wannabe" is irrefutably hip hop; even while using electronica, the trio somehow manages to distinguish themselves from the mix of boy and girl bands taking Korea by storm. In fact, there's been some rumblings that the lyrics intentionally poke fun at G-Dragon's (Big Bang) penchant for cover songs and high fashion. Most importantly, however, Epik High may actually have the video of the year--"Wannabe" is a hilarious, action-packed dramedy that you don't want to miss.
