Rapper Simon Dominic has resigned as co-CEO of AOMG, a South Korean hip-hop label he ran with founder Jay Park. Fans first became aware of the move, when Simon D released a surprise live performance video of a new track on July 25, titled "Me No Jay Park."
The video of him on the mic, on AOMG's YouTube channel, contains English subtitles with the lyrics that say..."I'm writing a resignation letter and this song is it," and "I'mma release the stocks to AOMG first up," "(DJ) Pumkin go meet up with CJ so there's no problems," "But you gotta step up as CEO and pull me down as an employee."
According to online magazine Soompi, after the release of the video, AOMG released an official statement confirming Simon Dominic's resignation, but it also says the rapper is not leaving the label. Instead he will focus on his work as an artist.
The day before, on July 24, Simon D dropped a heart-wrenching live performance, of his track "Demolition Man," featuring Kim Jong Seo. The song is from his recently released album "Darkroom: Roommates Only." The album, perhaps one of the best to be released by any artist this year, seems to offer a raw look at the emotions of a man, who is fighting to move forward through pain.
