AOMG's rookie artist group SIKKOO has expressed their stance against "fake" artists.
On the afternoon of the 29th, a showcase was held to celebrate the release of SIKKOO's new EP 'GAP' at Ilji Art Hall located in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam, Seoul.
SIKKOO is a three-member mixed group consisting of Yoshi, Lee Baek (200), and Koo Min-jae. AOMG revitalized its artist lineup by signing SIKKOO on the 7th.
The group is expected to showcase the essence of 'Korean hip-hop' with a background rich in Korean sentiment and Yoshi's hip charm blending together intriguingly.
The title track of the new album, 'Mill', depicts SIKKOO enjoying the joy of victory after ending their battle with fake rappers.
Koo Min-jae commented on the term 'fake', saying, "It's not about targeting someone specific. As a team in the industry, there were forms and characteristics that made me feel a bit uncomfortable, like 'that seems a bit off.' It was a situation where they just said they were doing hip-hop but weren't doing anything. I felt it was fake when they were doing something that wasn't their own lifestyle while claiming to be hip-hop."
'GAP' is the first album SIKKOO is presenting since joining the global hip-hop label AOMG this year. It is also expected to be the first result of AOMG's 2.0 rebranding project launched this year.
The new album will be released on various online music sites at 6 PM on the same day.
