Drunken Tiger, “Cliché but the Hope of Music… Staying Humble”

Drunken Tiger’s new album “The Cure (살자)” with Yoonmirae and Bizzy… “United as one”

(Seoul=Yeonhab News) Lee Eunjung reporter: One could argue that hiphop has become flashy.  The overwhelming sound with increasing syllables and faster flow.  Not to mention the recent diss tracks by hiphop artists attacking each other.

Unlike this seemingly trending and busy hiphop style, Korea’s arguably first hiphop artist Drunken Tiger (Tiger JK) is sticking to his roots. Netizens recently commented, “A real hiphop artist returns”, “hiphop president”, and “the return of the King”.

At first glance, the title of Drunken Tiger’s new album–The Cure (살자)–sounds basic and ordinary.  Even the track titles–Beautiful Life, Time Travel (첫눈이 오면 설레였던 꼬마아이), The Cure–suggests a lack of flavour.

The sound production is relatively light, warmly surrounding the hiphop flow with guitar, djembe, piano, and other acoustic instruments  The album jacket also seems basic, like an LP.

However, one cannot judge a book by its cover.  Two months ago, Drunken Tiger, Yoonmirae and Bizzy left Jungle Entertainment and pursued music with their own label “Feel Ghood Music” founded in Gyeongi-do’s Yuejung-bu.  The lyrics, the sound production, and the style were all inspired by past and current experiences, including Tiger JK’s own father who is currently battling cancer with chemotherapy.

살자 (The Cure) lyrics [hangul+translation]

They say 항상 밝게 웃는 나
아픔 따윈 모른대
내 맘은 울고 있는데
Oh But I Say 밝게 웃는 내 맘 속엔
어두운 그늘에 가려진 난 그런 내가
싫지만 슬픈 내 맘은 웃게 될 거야

매일 돌아오는 새벽 밤은 나의 벗
혼자 있는 내가 외로울까 와 있어
해지면 이유 없이 눈물이 차 있어
갑자기 이유 없이 옛사랑에 차였던
밤하늘 바라보며 눈물을 참았던
바보 같이 울지 못해 눈물을 삼켰던
매일 돌아오는 새벽 밤은 나의 벗
혼자 있는 내가 외로울까 와 있어

매일 돌아오는 새벽 밤은 나의 벗
혼자 우는 내가 외로울까 와 있어
너 없는 여기에는 시간도 멈춰있어
멀리 가지마 너 거기 거기서
제발 기달려 줘 너 거기에 서 있어
여기서 혼자 새벽 방안 속 미치겠어
네가 혼을 실어 만들어준 머그컵이 깨졌어
내 손에 박혀 피가나
근데 왜 난 널 탓 할까

It's a Cold Cold World Out There
Sometime I Feel As If No Body Cares
I'm Down Down Down
Can Somebody Save Me Now x2

나 힘들어도
I Gotta Get Up  Don't Give Up Now
슬픈 내 맘도
언젠가 웃게 될 거야

매일 돌아오는 아침 해는 나의 벗
혼자 있는 내가 외로울까 날 비춰 줘
해 뜨면 새들은 하늘 위로 날개 쳐
가끔 새들도 할 수 없이 날겠지
가끔 나도 몰라 내가 뭔 말 하는지
하지만 어디 누군간 내 맘을 알겠지
매일 돌아오는 아침 해는 날 비춰 줘
I Gotta Get Up And Stand Up Now

매일 돌아오는 아침 해는 나의 벗
혼자 우는 내가 외로울까 날 비춰
너를 만나기 전으로 돌아가고파
모든 게 행복했던 내가 아주 어릴 적
너를 떠나보낸 이유를 아직 넌 모르지
걷는 것도 힘든 나를 넌 알고 있는지
너를 찾아가 저 지구 반대편도
멀지 않아 머지않아 나는 널 갖겠죠

It s a Cold Cold World Out There
Sometime I Feel As If No Body Cares
I'm Down Down Down
Can Somebody Save Me Now x2

나 힘들어도
I Gotta Get Up Don’t Give Up Now
슬픈 내 맘도
언젠가 웃게 될 거야

나 힘들어도
I Gotta Get Up Don’t Give Up Now
슬픈 내 맘도
이젠 웃게 될 거야

"Beautiful Life Begins" Drunken Tiger Comeback Teaser Part.1 & Part.2

Drunken Tiger Announces New Album “The Cure (살자)” Feat Yoonmirae and Bizzy

The upcoming album title [The Cure] “Let’s Live” is dedicated to those who require a “cure” to pain and suffering.

Drunken Tiger, who finally returns to the music scene after 5 years of hiatus, is releasing a new album that will no doubt impress everyone.  Featuring Yoonmirae and Bizzy, his upcoming album title track “Let’s Live [The Cure]” steps out of the current trendy hiphop music and is instead filled with acoustic vibe and djembe percussions.

Totalling nine tracks, [The Cure] paints a story of a man and his confessions of living his life as a hiphop artist.

The track [Beautiful Life] is about the times of hardship and struggle, and the realization one experiences about his “beautiful life.”

[The Child Excited For First Snowfall (Time Travel) (첫눈이 오면 설레였던 꼬마아이)] celebrates the nostalgic joy of music and the hope that one finds through the psychological time travel. “Life, like a roller coaster, is a series of unexpected twists and turns, where despair follows after happiness, but also the hopes of searching good news within the bad.”

Through [The Cure], Drunken Tiger lends a friendly hand and hopes to bring happiness to those suffering in pain.  The album also features tracks “Sweet Dream”, “BizzyTigerYoonmirae”, “All in Together (뭉쳐)”, GO, and Get It IN, as well as a reggae version of “Let’s Live (The Cure).”

Yoon Mi Rae Earns First K-Pop Hot 100 No. 1 With 'Touch Love'

With over two decades in the industry under her belt, rapper/singer Yoon Mi Rae has a huge new hit with her single "Touch Love," a soundtrack contribution to Korean drama "Master's Sun." While Yoon Mi Rae (also known as T) is known for helping introduce South Korea to the then-absent hip-hop genre, this ballad sees the American flexing her R&B sensibilities. 

The heartfelt midtempo track features Yoon Mi Rae (who's also a member of trio MFBTY) delivering quivering vocals calling out for love. With the piano ballad anchored around an earworm of a hook, expect this one to float around the K-Pop Hot 100 for awhile.
