Bpp how have you been handling chapter2? Do you get bored or lose interest in Bts in hiatus? Do the solo rollouts not bother you? Please be honest I really want to know you true opinion.

***

Hi Anon,

Chapter 2 has been rough for you, hasn’t it? At least, based on your ask it sounds like it’s been. Tangentially, did you enjoy yourself this past weekend?

I’ve said this before, but if you ever feel like it’s a chore to remain plugged into BTS or stan culture, please step back. Don’t feel guilty about detaching if you no longer find joy in it. Move on to another hobby or another group if that’s where you’re at. BTS has fans, don’t worry. Don’t feel any obligation to stick around if Chapter 2 isn’t serving you what you want. You can check back in 2026 when the guys are together, or move beyond them completely.

That said, personally, I wonder how you can even ask me this question. Like, what else has Chapter 2 been but a trip? Lollapalooza, Balming Tiger collab, World Cup, Jungkook’s birthday video for Jimin, Indigo collabs, Set Me Free Pt 2, Promise on Spotify, On The Street, D-DAY tour, Yoonmin live, etc.

It’s been a blast. The music is easily some of the best globally this year and last. To illustrate:

...

The song I just listened to is Baseline by j-hope.

*

It's like a drug for me.

I don't think you understand.

I get high... off their music. Like, I don't know why you think two years of irregular releases without their full promotion of that music, will change my underlying sentiment. BTS scratches an itch few other artists can reach for me.

[ The sentiment? BTS is one of the best musicians of my generation. They make music that actually slaps. Any day of the week. Any genre they touch. It's prime good music. ]

Let me walk you through my playlist for the last half hour:

J-hope - Baseline

Baseline is the sauciest hiphop joint out of Korea, ever. J-hope is undeniably one of the most skilled and versatile rappers out of Asia. Point. Blank. Period.

RM, Tablo - All Day

RM's vocals in All Day render me a stupid mess. He's sooooooo... he's kinda nasty. I mean, it's big, he's kinda messy with it, but he ultimately knows how to use it, and he knows you know that he knows. All of this I deduced from his articulation and delivery on All Day. Tablo too, that tease, matched Joon's energy seamlessly. No further comment.

*

RM, Mahalia, Benny Blanco - Closer

Namjoon created a masterpiece with Indigo. It's an atrocity that many people won't admit it. Really. Indigo is the album of 2022 (Hurt by NewJeans being the song of the year, and JITB at Lollapalooza 2022 by j-hope the concert experience of the year.) Closer is an impeccably produced song. I mean it's almost disgusting how smooth the production, arrangement, instrumentation, etc on that song is.

*

Jimin - Alone

The cold clarity in his lyrics. How raw and honest he is, in such a well produced track... people need to show this song more respect.

*

RM - Change Pt 2.

The only song that rivals how brilliant and badass this one is, is Set Me Free Pt 2 by Jimin.

*

Agust D - D-DAY

The entirety of D-DAY album still has me in a vice grip, but something about D-DAY the song, rips to the core. How he manages to slip something rock anthemic into the epic call to arms he made that song into... Yoongi is in a league of one.

And to drive home the point, listen to him on HUH?!

Agust D, j-hope - HUH?!

Still the best song on the album. Undeniably. I mean, if you don't black out when this song comes on are you even alive? /gen. No matter where I am, what I'm doing, I could be exiting my company's underground garage, loading laundry, whatever... no matter what I'm doing, when this song comes on I feel my brain short circuit. It's like a mental reset. I suddenly feel so alert and primed with tension I could kill a person if I felt like it. The grandmas scared about what rap does to teens... songs like HUH?!, really do flip a switch in people's heads. They're right to worry because that's what the genre, drill - the gritty, ominous, and violent contemporary expression of rap - that's what it's made to do. And Yoongi showed an effortless mastery of it in HUH?!

*

Agust D - tour medley

I hope people who weren't able to see Agust D in person, were at least able to see him in the livestreamed concerts. Many times since I saw him in California, I've come back to some fancams from his earliest days of the tour. This one by rogrog is a favourite. Yoongi is a master of his craft who loves to show off his virtuosity. And in his D-DAY tour, that's what he does.

*

j-hope, J. Cole - On The Street

Jung Hoseok just casually produced this timeless classic and dipped to the military. No fuss. No sweat. No excuses. He just did the thing, had J. Cole spit some of the sickest bars of his career on that song, then said, "see you later."

Things like this are why he's my bias.

He's a consummate professional.

*

Unpopular opinion, but I have no real issues with their solo roll-outs. I'm not unsatisfied with too much and frankly, I'm so greedy for new music I wouldn't mind another cluttered roll-out. I hope Joon's music follows soon after JK's because God knows I'm not sure I can stand the wait much longer. Joon makes a lot of 'BTS-style' music and so whatever he drops will serve as the perfect complement to Seven / JJK1. And Vmin will likely drop new music in the next year as well.

Chapter 2 has been kind of a blast.

That's my "true opinion", Anon.

Album: Her Loss Artist: Drake & 21 Savage Genre: #Rap #HipHop ℹ️About The Album : Her Loss is a collaborative studio album by Canadian rapper Drake and Atlanta-based rapper 21 Savage. It was released on November 4, 2022, through OVO Sound and Republic Records. The album features a sole guest appearance from Travis Scott. 💭Thoughts : The production quality is ofc good, but yea, I wasn’t expecting mildew romping from an artist of such stature. But then again, it does grow on you, play it a couple of times, and it comes around. And at this point, whatever he sends out turns to gold. But then again, is that what we’re here for ? 🍸Goes Best With : Peace Tree Blonde Fatale Belgian-style Blonde Ale, yes that’s what we’re having, citrus notes with a fruity tonality, hope you enjoy. Favourite Tracks: 🔥 Rich Flex, 🔥Spin Bout U, 🔥 Hours in Silence, 🔥Treacherous Twins, 🔥Pussy & Millions (feat. #TravisScott), 🔥More M’s Featured Tracks: ✨Rich Flex, ✨More M’s #Drake #21Salvage #HerLoss #Music #MusicReview #KANSASreviews #Musik_Co_ #TasteYourMusic #PsyNok #Psyn0k #FavouriteTracks PS. I’ve decided I’m only ever going to post albums that I would enjoy listening to myself. This is not one of those. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpag9vlsAi_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Album of The Year 2022(HipHop R&B)

自分でも何書いてるのかよく分からない拙い文章ですが、2022年のBest Album HipHop R&B編です。ケンドリックとか、ドレイクは無い。

10."Jazz Codes" by Moor Mother

フィラデルフィアの詩人/ラッパーMoor Mother。Noise,Electronic,AmbientとJazzとHipHopを融合させた実験的傑作。アヴァンギャルドになり過ぎず、かといってポピュラーでもないちょうど良い絶妙な立ち位置。

Best song:MEDITATION RAG feat.Aquiles Navarro & Alya Al Sultani

9."Alone" by OMSB

日本のHipHopクルーSIMI LABに所属するラッパーOMSB。初期の挑発的で危険な雰囲気を纏った彼も好きですが...弱い部分や苦悩を超えた、日常の幸せを歌う等身大のOMSBが素敵です。2022年日本語RAPの中で一番感動した作品でした。

Best song:波の歌(Album mix)

8. "RUFFS" by Kenny Mason

アトランタ出身で、JIDとも頻繁に交わっている今年28歳のラッパーKenny Mason。Nirvana,My Bloody Valentineなどを愛聴している彼らしく、TrapBeatを中心にRockやMetalを取り入てDreamvilleなどメジャーに近い音にまとめる感覚が凄い。激しさとエモさ両方感じるRapもかっこいい。

Best song:NOSEDIVE feat.Jean Dawson

7."No Liquor Before 12" by Mickey Diamond

Griseldaと並んで、Undergroundで勢いに乗るHipHop集団The Umbrella Collectiveに所属するデトロイト出身のRappr Mickey Diamond。アルバムの背景にあるのは、Bangkok Dangerous3の制作過程で陥った自身のアルコール中毒の体験、人間誰しもが持っている内側に潜む悪の表現。タイトルも朝から飲んでいたことを示唆してますね(多分)。多作な彼の作品の中でも、群を抜いた完成度の高さでした。フィジカル再発しろ。

Best song:Happy Hour

6."PARASAiL-18" by The Growth Eternal

ロサンゼルスのJazzベーシスト、ソングライターであるThe Growth Eternal。電子音楽レーベルLeaving RecordsからリリースされたElectronic R&B作品。全編ボコーダーを通した歌声と、輪郭の薄い電子音で特別な浮遊感があるアルバムです。世の中の重圧からの解放を表すPARASAiL。

Best song:Huntress

5."Intros, Outros & Interludes" by Domo Genesis

Odd FutureのメンバーでもあるロサンゼルスのラッパーDomo Genesisと、ベテラン(みんな大好き)Evidenceが4年ぶりに帰ってきましたね。Evidenceの作るどこかサイケデリックさを感じるLoopはDomo Genesisのラップと相性良くて、英語何言ってるのか分からないけどホッコリしながら何回も聞いてました。中毒性高い。

Best song:Trust the Process

4."Fair Exchange No Robbery" by Nicholas Craven, Boldy James

今年一番過労が心配された(？)ラッパーBoldy Jamesと、Nicholas Cravenのタッグということで...悪いわけがないですね。4小節で繰り返されるミニマルなトラックだけで、音風景をはっきり感じるNicholasのビートは最近のベストワークかと。ジャケも良い。

Best song:Scrabble

3."Working Title For the Album Secret Waters" by Cities Aviv

JEPEGMAFIAとは逆ベクトルでHIPHOPの枠を広げ続ける素晴らしいアーティストCities Aviv。曲自体はオーセンティックなsampling musicですが加工され、さらに本人の不気味なrapが乗ることで、異形な状態に(今作は控えめですが)。スリリングでサイケデリックな危ないSoul Music。

Best song:Chozen / The Prevalence of Issues

2."Grotto" by Wilma Vritra, Wilma Archer

聞くたびに感じる消化不良を解消するために、気がつけば繰り返し聴いていた中毒性MaxのAlbum。陽気だがどこかメランコリックな雰囲気があるトラックと、曲に寄り添うようなPyramid VritraのRapが素晴らしい。全編チェロやバイオリンなどの楽器も取り入れていて、Cities Avivとは対照的で計算された変態性を感じます。

Best song:If Possible

1."But could the moments in between" by Manana

南アフリカのJazz Piano Player/SingerであるManana。Jazz/NeosoulグループのSeba KaapstadのVocalの人でもあります。Jazzyでアコースティックなサウンドを中心に、陽光の温かさと、多幸感に満たされた素晴らしいアルバム(EP)。ファルセットの効いたMananaの柔らかい歌声を聴いただけで心揺さぶられる感じです。もっと日本での知名度上がって欲しいですね。

Best song:Patiently

Honored to be mentioned. Posted @withregram • @thewreckshow The Wreck Show Awards 2022 (according to Trav G). Day Four: FAVORITE Albums of 2022 (5-10) These are just the albums that I liked, A LOT. I'm not claiming the best, or any of that, but these are the ones that got the most play from me and left the biggest impression on me. Again, there was SO much music coming out. I haven't heard it all, there is still a lot that I want to hear (I have a running list of almost 700 albums I want to hear), so if there is something I missed, I either haven't heard it, or I liked it but not as much as these. 6. Elzhi & Georgia Anne Muldrow - @elzhi @georgia.muldrow Who would have though we needed an Elzhi album produced by Georgia Anne Muldrow album? We did, and it was great. 7. UllNevaNo x God Sense Beats @ullnevanohiphop x @godsensebeats UllNevaNo does it again (check out his Dustin Grime project from '19) with this great project and God Sense Beats brings the heat with the beats 8. Harbor Kidz - Harbor Kidz @squeegie_oblong @jamil_honesty I've spoke on this album, but this is just grimy, boom bap hip hop in all it's glory 9. Boldy James x Real Bad Man - Killing Nothing @boldyjames @realbadman For some reason, I've been slow to jump on the Boldy James bandwagon. Killing Nothing made me jump fully onto it. It needs said again that Real Bad Man needs to be included among the best doing it currently 10. Comet x Swab @comet5000 @djswab Comet brings that authentic hip hop to our eardrums with the help of Swab. And seriously, "Closed Door Meeting" is in the running for my favorite song of the year. 1-5 coming Monday.... #thewreckshowawards #2022hiphopawards #hiphop #undergroundhiphop #boombap #hiphopculture #scratching #hiphopmusic #hiphopislife #boombaphiphop #boombapbeats #boombaprap #boombaprappers #undergroundrap #hiphopnation #emcee #TheWreck #newhiphopmusic #2022hiphop https://www.instagram.com/p/CnF_T1sr4Ro/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

HIPHOP ALBUM TOP9 in 2022、今年も偏見で選びましたが、例年より更にベタな感じとなりました。 というのも、私の個人的な心情の変化、ライフスタイルへの捉え方が大きく変わり、奇をてらっただけものを"珍しいゾ!"と手放しで賞賛することを辞めたためです。 目前に現れたものをよく観察し味わうこと、これに尽きるのではないか…。 もちろん、そう考えた時のHIPHOPというジャンルが孕む攻撃性や思慮浅い部分を踏まえて、リスナーとしてフォローしていくべきか再考が迫られることも増えました。 がしかし! 以前もどこかで記した通り、(移民文化への個人的興味から)修士論文で取り上げてしまったカルチャーなので、宿命的に末永く、愛好家として付き合っていきたいところです。 まあとにかく、今年はかなりベタというか、他ジャンルのリスナーでも知ってるよってアーティストが入っています。 今年も色々な作品が生まれました。 Kanyeが下半期からショービズから干されてしまったので、思想を養生させての復活を祈っています。 また、TOP9には入れてませんが、Tobe Nwigweのアルバムも良かったのとChance The Rapperの今年のシングルはどれも良かったです。 それでは皆さまよいお年をお過ごし下さい🌈 1. 𝗞𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗟𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗿 - Mr.Morale & The Big Steppers "清貧と欲望の矛盾を抱えた1人の話" 2. 𝗗𝗲𝗻𝘇𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘆 - Melt My Eyez See Your Future "新しいフォースを獲得したジェダイの挑戦" 3. 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗿𝘁 - SICK! "一匹狼の偏見による独白" 4. 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗲𝗲 - 23 "対ホモフォビアな英国新星のバイラル盤" 5. 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗚𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿 - Black Radio III "安定的サウンドに毎度新しいスパイスあり" 6. 𝗩𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 - RAMONA PARK BROKE MY HEART "ダサい男は一生懸命生きている" 7. 𝗦𝗮𝗯𝗮 - Few Good Things "日常の細部に美は宿る" 8. 𝗝𝗼𝗲𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝗱𝗮$$ - 2000 "とにかく普通の良作HIPHOP" 9. 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗻 - Cocodrillo Turbo "更に減量してフロウも絵画も軽快に" ※毎年のこの選出には日本語ラップは入れていません。"どちらが優れている"などではなく、私がほとんどUSメイン(ここ数年はEUとりわけUKも増えています)でしか聴かないので無知というだけの理由です。 #bestalbumoftheyear #bestalbum #bestalbumsof2022 #besthiphop #hiphopalbums #albumsoftheyear #kendricklamar #denzelcurry #earlsweatshirt #centralcee #robertglasper #vincestaples #saba #joeybadass #actionbronson #kanyewest #tobenwigwe #chancetherapper (All The Best) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmxu8fOSBo6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Featured Hip Hop Lineup:

Dylan Owen - The Best Ships

Released by: Nowhere Kids

Genre: Pop Punk, Rap, Alternative Hip-Hop

Similar artists: Abhi the Nomad, Kota the Friend, Sonreal, Sol, Ryan Caraveo, Watsky, Sage Francis

"An upbeat, fun song from the heart building on the phrase "the best ships are friendships." The final single from my upcoming EP." The Best Ships is the final lead single from my upcoming EP 'Take Care Of Yourself' releasing December 1st. It is inspired by a midnight drive through my town with my crew. I took the saying "the best ships are friendships," imagined my old beat up sedan car as a pirate ship, and made this fun, upbeat anthem.  Without my friends the past few years I might have walked the plank. They picked me up, called me long distance, and told me to record some songs. They even invited me out to Los Angeles to make my dream version of this EP a reality. Those are the songs you're hearing now.

Dylan Owen x Laeland - Take Care Of Yourself

Released by: Nowhere Kids

Genre: Rap, Hip-Hop / Conscious Hip-Hop, Alternative Hip-Hop

Similar artists: Abhi the Nomad, Kota the Friend, Sonreal, Sol, Ryan Caraveo, Watsky, Sage Francis

Take Care Of Yourself is the title track off my new EP, out today, featuring Laeland. I remember writing and recording this in the attic of a small house in upstate New York. Back then, I felt like I might never release music again, hence the seemingly endless pause between my last album and this one. 3 years. I felt pretty deeply alone in those days. But something magical happened in the making of this 8-song project. I had friends call me, reach out, invite me to play shows with them, welcome me onto their couches in Los Angeles and challenge me to make the best music of my life. I tried as hard as I could to rise to the occasions in front of me. And here we are today. Without those worst nights, I would not have the perspective I have right now.

Johnny Mcfly - Rock with me

Genre:: Hip-Hop, Conscious Hip-HopDrill, Gangsta Rap

Similar artists: Eli fross, sleepy hallow, sheff g, Ron suno

Hip Hop artist, Johnny Mcfly is a NYC based upcoming independent music creator trying to gain an organic following that will engage with his content. He focuses on producing quality music to help him build a strong foundation from the gate. “Rock with me” is the newest single from Johnny Mcfly available on all streaming platforms along with the official video. The song is fun with a video delivering a very tongue in cheek version of Gangsta Rap. I think you’ll agree that this artist addresses his craft with a light hearted style and doesn’t take himself too seriously. It’s unique in this genre and I find it refreshing.

N. C. Palma - LAS - ORD

Genre: Trap (Hip-hop) Rap

Released by: Palma Media Group

Similar artists: Russ, Bas, J. Cole, Jack Harlow, Felly

Hailing from Chicago’s Northern suburbs, N. C. Palma’s start in music had more to do with good timing than a longstanding dream. After linking up with Vernon Hills’ Studio KAI just after they opened their doors, regular releases followed. While N. C. Palma remains independent, the quality of the music stands for itself. With a particular focus on versatility and true-to-life content, fans connect with the music not simply because it’s good to listen to, but because in a way, they’ve lived it too.

G4G x Sofiya Nzau - Fafa

Released by: Manna Records

Hip-Hop / Conscious Hip-Hop / Alternative Hip-Hop

Moods: Energetic, Aggressive, Moody

This is a song that stretches from Chicago to Kenya and is an emotional rollercoaster that brings awareness to the unspeakable. Much needed especially during the current headlines. This song was inspired by a viral video of Zulu children singing a song that stems from their heritage and culture. I started rapping at the age of 7 years old. I remember watching Kool Moe Dee rapping in a Santa Claus suit in the hip hop classic "Beat Street" I was hooked!

ScoobE - D.Y.G.M.

Released by: Bizzy Records

Genre: Hip-Hop / Conscious Hip-HopIndie Pop

Similar artists: If Mac Miller and Don Toliver had a baby

"My name is ScoobE, I just dropped my latest single titled D.Y.G.M. (Do you get me). This song is the second single off my up and coming tape "A Heart Full of Holes" to be released early next year. It portrays the feeling of being lost in life, keeping up with normal things like work and relationships while battling any mental issues, and the pressure that comes with.

With moody synths and wavey-airy vocals in the beat, it sets an emotional tone complimented by a heavy bouncy beat. Sometimes we all want to be understood but we don't realise that getting to that point takes dedication and being truly content with yourself. The world advises not to care what others think, you have to be you and only you to stand out.

Difracto x Mr.E -  Beyond

Album: SOS Artist: SZA Genre: #RnB #HipHop #Pop ℹ️About The Album : SOS is the second studio album by American singer SZA. It was released through Top Dawg Entertainment and RCA Records on December 9, 2022. Julianne Escobedo Shepherd of Pitchfork named the album "Best New Music", stressing how it "solidifies her position as a generational talent, an artist who translates her innermost feelings into indelible moments". 💭Thoughts : This is special, you can take every track individually and vibe with it, and then you can play the whole album and you’ll find yourself right in the middle of it. The music arrangement is beautiful, the producer has done such a fantastic job to something that was already so amazing. I am going to come to this album when I find myself going through one of those days. Yes, it’s a mood, and yes, it’s that good. 🍸Goes Best With : Let’s make ourselves an Aperol Spritz for a refreshing cool experience considering you’ll need it. Get yourselves Prosecco and Aperol, and ensure they’re chilled for maximum flavour, then squeeze an orange peel and garnish with the same, and oh, don’t forget the ice, lots of it. Enjoy !
