Tablo of the group Epik High spoke out about Tukutz allowing the use of a new song for free to the production team of 'Black and White Chef'.
On the 2nd, a video titled ‘Hip-hop’s Ransomware N-Pik High! Only saved what could be saved’ was posted on the YouTube channel ‘Sorrowful Brother Shin Dong-yeob’.
On that day, Shin Dong-yeob asked Tukutz, "I was surprised. I heard you unilaterally decided to let them use the new song for 'Black and White Chef' Season 2 for free." Tukutz seemed taken aback and replied, "Is this the first question?"
Tablo expressed his disbelief, saying, "He sent me an article link for something that should have been discussed via text." Tukutz explained the situation, saying, "Later, they asked if I would be willing to use it as background music for 'Black and White Chef' Season 2. So I said, 'Go ahead, it's free.' I might have overdone it a bit."
When Tukutz said, "When a person invests, they should do it properly," Tablo retorted, "People usually invest their own money, not someone else's money to do as they please." Tukutz exclaimed, "Aren't we one body? We're in the same boat."
On the other hand, Mithra said, "I found out through the article too. But I wasn't really shocked. I thought Tukutz would do something like this because he loves aggressive investments."
Meanwhile, Epik High released their new album 'Pump Collector's Edition' on the 18th of last month. Tablo explained about the title track 'Michelin Cypher', saying, "I made it with the desire to entertain fans like a 3-star Michelin."
He continued, "While we were shooting the music video in Australia and moving to the U.S., 'Black and White Chef' came out. The American staff watched it all and asked us, 'Do you know Baek Jong-won?' They were talking about the 3-star Michelin, so I thought the song we just made was like that, and we decided to release it earlier."
Hearing this, Jung Ho-cheol said, "It coincidentally matched, but you promoted it again," to which Tukutz jokingly replied, "It's not promotion, it's provision, an investment for the future." Tablo also expressed his ambition, saying, "Please use (the music)."
