The collaboration mashes up the artists' worlds of dance and hip-hop, east and west, and ranges sonically from smooth pop, energetic dance drops, to hard hip-hop. The EP also includes appearances from emerging Korean artists Sik-K, PH-1, and Haon. “Jay and I have been friends for some time and we really vibe working together,” said Yultron. “All genres inspire me, so I was excited to work on this crossover EP that melds our worlds together. We were both creatively ‘on fire’ throughout the whole process.” “I like to explore new genres and Yultron is a good friend and very chill,” said Jay Park. “We set out to collab using influences of hip-hop, EDM, pop and K-pop. I love the range of the tracks we put out on this EP and its vibe.” Yultron and Jay Park’s kinship spans several years, starting with their first song "BO$$," which hit #1 on Korea's charts in 2015.

XI(6) Now comes Larry James Gapen, by and through counsel, and moves this Court to reopen his direct appeal pursuant to Supreme Court of Ohio Rule of Practice XI(6) ("Rule X1(6)"). Under the familiar two-prong test delineated in Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 687 (1984), Gapen received constitutionally ineffective representation when his appellate counsels' performance fell far below the prevailing professional norms for appellate counsel in capital cases, and Gapen was prejudiced by counsels' failures. Critically, prior appellate counsel failed "to lifigate all issues, whether or not previously presented, that are arguably meritorious under the standards of applicable high quality capital defense representation...[and] to present issues in a manner that will preserve them for subsequent review."

  • Becoming-Black: Exploring Korean Hip-Hop in the Age of Hallyu
    Situations 12.1 (2019): 23–46 ISSN: 2288–7822 Becoming-Black: Exploring Korean Hip-hop in the Age of Hallyu Kyung Hyun Kim (University of California, Irvine) Abstract This article examines the emergence of rap and hip-hop in contemporary South Korea. Drawing on Achille Mbembe’s idea of “becoming black,” it proceeds from the view of hip-hop as a worldwide phenomenon made possible by the fact that “blackness” has gained a “new fungibility” in the epoch of global capitalism. The essay explores the ways in which hip- hop performers in South Korea draw on their own experiences of social marginality in the ghetto-like world produced by unrelenting academic and economic competition to create their work. It also considers the ways in which the Korean language obliges rappers to experiment with its syntax and prosody in order to generate the rhymes and repetitions associated with the hip-hop genre. While rap in the South Korean context is often regarded as a successful adaptation of a foreign musical genre, in a manner that recalls the discovery and mastery of Western popular music by Korean musicians in the years following the Korean War, the essay also argues that the reception of hip-hop in the present reestablishes ties to premodern and pre-colonial practices of oral musical storytelling, such as p’ansori, that were neglected and overlooked during the period of modernization. Keywords: blackness, Critique of Black Reason, double consciousness, hip- hop, Korea 24 Kyung Hyun Kim In his recent book, Critique of Black Reason (2017), Achille Mbembe

    CJ ENM (035760 KQ ) Strong and flexible content leader Media Initiate coverage with Buy and TP of W310,000 Company Report We initiate our coverage on CJ ENM with a Buy rating and target price of W310,000. In order to derive our target price, we applied the sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) method by April 3, 2019 summing up the values of the media (W1.9tr; CJ E&M previously), and commerce (W1.1tr; CJ O Shopping previously) businesses, as well as equity holdings (W3.75tr). In our view, shares of CJ ENM, which was created via the merger CJ E&M and CJ O (Initiate) Buy Shopping in July 2018, have entered a recovery phase. We believe that year 2019 will mark the begin ning of operating profit contribution of the media business (broadcasting, film, music) exceeding 50% (versus 38.6% in 2018), which is highly likely to drive a Target Price (12M, W) 310,000 valuation rerating going forward. It is also encouraging that CJ ENM is now positioned to finance its content investments - which will likely show a steady increase to support Share Price (04/03/19, W) 236,500 strong revenue and operating profit growth (an estimated CAGR of 9.8% and 20.9% over the next two years) - with increased cash flows (pre-merger CJ O Shopping).

Hyniea (Niea) Gardner A Thesis in the Field of Anthropology and Archaeology for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University May 2019 © May 2019 Hyniea (Niea) Gardner Abstract In 2016 the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) reported that the Korean music industry saw an overseas revenue of ₩5.3 trillion ($4.7 billion) in concert tickets, streaming music, compact discs (CDs), and related services and merchandise such as fan meetings and purchases of music artist apparel and accessories (Kim 2017 and Erudite Risk Business Intelligence 2017). Korean popular music (K-Pop) is a billion-dollar industry. Known for its energetic beats, synchronized choreography, and a sound that can be an amalgamation of electronica, blues, hip-hop, rock, and R&B all mixed together to create something that fans argue is “uniquely K-Pop.” However, further examination reveals that producers and songwriters – both Korean and the American and European specialists contracted by agencies – tend to base the foundation of the K-Pop sound in hip-hop and R&B, which has strong ties to African-American musical traditions.
