The SparkPlugged Podcast – “Like a Hidden Epiphany”

Feature, Podcasts, Top Story By Shay

It’s that time again!! This time around, SparkPlugged brings ya something cool with a change of pace. It’s over 17 minutes of some good hip-hop straight out of Korea. We got four tracks from four artists from three crews and that info/commentary stuff rolled up into one. Check it.

Show Notes:

Featured Artists
BUGA KINGZ – “友酒 Like?”, Wikipedia Page
Loptimist – “Hidden Agenda” (feat. Braille), Official MySpace
Verbal Jint – “1219 Epiphany”, Official MySpace
Jerry.K – “Free Yourself”, Official MySpace

Other Stuff
Man it was hard to pick just four songs for this. Maybe that’s why it took so long =P

    Like I said above, the four artists are with three crews. I only mentioned that Loptimist and Jerry.K are with Soul Company and forgot the others. BUGA KINGZ is with Movement and Verbal Jint with Overclass. Now ya know =)

    Yo! I just heard this podcast and went crazy when I heard the track by Loptimist feat. Braille!!! I’ve been a fan of his for a while, ever since I heard his track “Keep On” (which is tight like most his work). Listen to a lot of random stuff (…I guess that’s obvi for all of us, i mean a j-indie podcast featuring k-hiphop crews??) but I never knew it’d come full circle. Does that mean good hiphop is universial? or just excellent music in general?

    anyways, THANKS a ton! Now I’ll have to look into this Loptimist…

    Hi SaramWrap!! It’s great to see ya around again =) That’s amazing about Braille and it’s an interesting way that it all came full circle for you. I knew about Loptimist before Braille so it’s funny how a Korean producer/DJ helped me discover a great American MC =P. As for good hip-hop being universal? I’m not sure but perhaps — at least some guys in Korea are producing some great stuff =P. I recommend checking out more Loptimist ~ amazing beats!!
