Interview with MFBTY - Midem 2013
We spoke to the South Korean rap stars Tiger JK, t Yoon Mi Rae & Bizzy, of MFBTY, before their performance at midem festival, January 27. They agreed they’re keen to show the rest of the world there’s more to Korean music than Psy, whilst crediting the megastar for proving you don’t have to sing in English to go global.
We also discussed social media and the importance of going direct-to-fan, and how fans can take part in the creative process. Case in point: the trio’s new band name is fan-made! MFBTY, which stands for “My Fan’s Better Than Yours“, was invented by fans… “and we just ran with it”, explained Tiger JK. Brilliant!

Tiger JK and Yoon Mi Rae become the face of Bakery brand ‘Schneeballen Korea’
Tiger JK and Yoon Mi Rae have been chosen as the models for the confectionery / Bakery brand ‘Schneeballen Korea‘.
‘Schneeballen Korea’ has announced they chose the hip hop couple because they are great for the image of a luxury dessert cafe that the brand strives for, and because their global image matches well with the brand image. The brand also features ‘Cafe Schneeballen‘, a dessert cafe bakery based on the brand with 50 locations all over Korea. The brand is looking to enter into the global market, and reported that they were looking forward to the synergy between Tiger JK and Yoon Mi Rae for their brand.
The couple participated in the photoshoot on the 21st . The concept of the photoshoot was that the pair were the center of a party in a traditional castle for European royalty. The pair worked hard on the photoshoot, showing off another side of themselves. Because ‘Scheneeballen’ has an image not of a cute, bright dessert but of a completely different mood, the pair pulled off the luxurious mood perfectly to match the image they were aiming for.
Currently, the pair are active as MFTBY with Bizzy, and will be having their first performance in France at MIDEM on the 27th.

MFBTY - Bizzy Tiger Yoonmirae (MFBTY) lyrics (hangul)
Ring the alarm 지금은 긴급상황
하던 걸 중단해 지금 당장
방아쇠 손가락은 나를 향한 검지의
끝의 뜻은 넘버원 나를 말함
나의 물건의 별명은 만수무강
길어 길어 내 몸에 완벽한 중심
딱 붙는 바진 못 입어 최자는 내 맘 알지
나 Back to the topics 가짜들에 낚인
모들을 건져 다시 놔줘 방생하지
자비주지 Mercy I know you been mad thirsty
갈증을 풀어주려해 Rose를 양껏 뿌리네
MFBTY Mafukin Bizzy Tiger Yoonmirae
훅 가는 Punch line Bizzy Tiger Yoonmirae
이름만 불러대도 최고의 훅이 돼
Bizzy Tiger Yoonmirae, Bizzy Tiger Yoonmirae
Bizzy Tiger Yoonmirae, Bizzy Tiger Yoonmirae
Ru pum pum pump ru pa ru pa pum pum
Let the !llmind drum go ru pu pum pump
내 팬은 3명 일당백 300
내 앞날에 무궁한 영광을 위한 건배
Got my swagger back
절대로 판매하지 않으니
따라 하지 말고서 손 떼
평생 남만 탓하는 불쌍한 사람
헛된 수작 그만 부려 지금 당장
길잃고 방황하는 너는 나를 봐라
올바른 방향 음 그건 너의 판단
Back in the building and imma take it over
I represent the ROK but my name not Hova
Invade your home spread the word like Jehovah
And you just outta luck useless three leaf clover
Oh yes I'm ego trippin' middle finger I'm flippin'
Oh yes I'm chain heavy so much ice look how I'm drippin'
I shouldn't be so cold, I blame it on the snow
I'm tired of tellin bitches shit they should already know
Oh yes I'm cut throat until I hang my coat
Mariah carey end this bitch on a high note
어쩔 수 없잖아 인정해 괜찮아
타고난 걸 어떡해 (이런 젠장할)
나를 앞서 가려 발악해도 난 너의 미래
썩소 뒤에 숨은 삼천 원짜리 지폐
너의 정체 가짜 아무리 해봤자 All I hear is Tasha
I'm a girl on fire 불과 장난하면 다쳐
Imma turn it up a notch different class see my watch
I can get stupid grab my crotch be on the 양아치
Lifted like I'm on that ye I don't even have to say
Who the best in the game y'all already know the name
Nappy headed Mirae Bizzy Tiger JK
Bizzy Tiger Yoonmirae, Bizzy Tiger Yoonmirae
Bizzy Tiger Yoonmirae, Bizzy Tiger Yoonmirae
Ru pum pum pump ru pa ru pa pum pum
Let the !llmind drum go ru pu pum pump
Ready or not 다가가니 어서 준비해
내가 뜨면 사막에도 사람들이 붐비네
가뭄이 돼 마른 맘에 빗물이 돼 뿌려대
죽어가던 영혼들도 다시 깨어나 숨 쉬게
눈뜨게 춤추게 구수한 된장찌개
세 살 방귀 Funky 미관에 주름지게
Bizzy Tiger Yoonmirae, Bizzy Tiger Yoonmirae
훅 가는 Punch line Bizzy Tiger Yoonmirae
참아보려 머리 속에 가다 둔 기관총 Flow go brrrrrrr (no)
I didn't mean to say that word
Cuz it be sounding mad absurd
M to the F to the B T Y
Imma do me and live my life
싫다고 말해 봐도 거짓말
우리 모두 다 알고 있잖아
M to the F to the B T Y
Imma do me and live my life
싫다고 말해 봐도 거짓말
니 속마음을 알고 있잖아
우리 팀에 끼고 싶잖아 인정해 괜찮아
흔들어 너 원하잖아 !llmind이 드럼 치잖아
Ru pum pum pump ru pa ru pa pum pum
Let the !llmind drum go ru pu pum pump
MFBTY - Sweet Dream lyrics (hangul+translation)
Hangul
We are meant to be another time another life
Possibly, probably you would be mine
Can you get away, get away, can you get away
I wanna go go where you are(*3)
잔을 위로 머리 위로 Everybody come on
하나보다 둘이 같이 저 험한 산을 넘어
저 험한 산을 넘어 바다 위를 걸어 건너
흥얼거려 중얼거려 주문 주문 주문 걸어
금지된 사랑 노래에 추 추 춤춰
아침 해도 우릴 보면 수줍어 숨어
(뻔한 결과 Like I see the future)
이미 나는 첫 만남에 니 맘을 훔쳐
거꾸로 돌려보는 영화처럼 뻔한 결과
아찔한 결말 찌릿 찌릿 찌릿 찌릿 (Electrify ya!)
향긋한 향기에 에워싸여
날 태워 날아가는 그대 맘 이 밤에 끝을 잡고
따라가는 빛을 따라 가라앉아 살포시
구름 옆옆에 (Inhale, Exhale)
We are meant to be another time another life
Possibly, probably you would be mine
Can you get away, get away, can you get away
I wanna go go where you are(*3)
움직여 이제 기지개 핀다
As I enter 모험에 시작
가고 있잖아 방향은 널 향해
그래 이제 숨기지 말자 귀찮아
진실을 비틀어 1을 2로
Let's fly away be like super heroes
우리만의 비밀을 비밀 영원한 비밀로
묻어두고 가버려도 재밌을 거 같애
달려가 너가 멀리 바다 건너로 도망가 또 붙잡아
두 팔을 벌려 들고 내가 날아가
I got your back like you got my back
너를 위해서 Get get get it 지난 얘긴 하지 말어
쭉 직진이진이 이어지니
Give me give me give me some more
이리 모여 힘든 짐은 집에 두고
What goes around I might come back around
We call it Karma, karma I don't mean to harm you
범띠범 두 팔을 벌려 Do the Humpty hump
Can you get away, get away, can you get away
I wanna go go where you are
We are meant to be another time another life
Possibly, probably you would be mine
Can you get away, get away, can you get away
I wanna go go where you are(*3)
잔을 위로 머리 위로 Everybody come on
하나보다 둘이 같이 저 험한 산을 넘어
저 험한 산을 넘어 바다 위를 걸어 건너
흥얼거려 중얼거려 주문 주문 주문 걸어
금지된 사랑 노래에 추 추 춤춰
아침 해도 우릴 보면 수줍어 숨어

MFBTY to have the first 3-screen music video in Korea
Many music fans are looking forward to MFBTY, because the three artists that are at the top in hip hop have come together for the first time to make an official team. The teaser that was released last week also became a hot issue because it told fans that their music will be a completely new style that was different from before. The three expressed their want to put down their usual music style and to try out genres they have always wanted to try, or those that they have never tried.
The album will consist of 3 songs, including the title song “Sweet Dream“. The song is a unique song that has the DJ-and-producer SMELLS‘ unique club sound, and combines various genres such as hip hop, electro, and progressive. The mini album also includes an electro-house-club tune version of “Sweet Dream” titled “Sweet Dream (SMELLS Like Money Mix)“, and the hardcore hip hop beat “BizzyTigerYoonmirae (MFBTY)“. “BizzyTigerYoonmirae (MFBTY)” especially is a song by the hip hop producer illmind, who has worked with big names such as Kanye West, Eminem, and 50cent.
Not only so, but the music video for “Sweet Dream” will also boasts and impressively large scale production. The visual artist Lumpens worked on the music video. The members change from head to toe in every scene, showing a new side of Tiger JK, Yoon Mi Rae, and Bizzy that makes viewers forget their original image.
Their 30-second music video teaser is being played at the CGV Yeouido theater on 9 screens through the ‘ScreenX‘ technology. The technology is a 3-screen video technology that CJ CGV gained a patent for the first time in the world.
Tiger JK said, “Instead of worrying about making a great song and lyrics, we just worked happily like we were on vacation. We got rid of the thirst of trying music that we’ve been wanting to try for so long. As actors show a different side every project, we’re going to work as MFBTY and show new characters of us.”
MFBTY will release their full song and music video on the 21st and hold a showcase on the 23rd.
