Jay Park Uploads His Epic "Sway In The Morning" Freestyle To His YouTube Channel

By Nefertiti Jenkins

The way it went down left fans, and people who had never heard of him proud. On May 23, hip-hop artist Jay Park, appeared on "Sway In The Morning," a weekday morning show on Eminem's Shade 45 SiriusXM channel. Hosted by Sway (Calloway), Jay Park was there to promote his May 25 midnight (EST) release of "SOJU," featuring 2 Chainz. The track "SOJU" (inspired by a popular alcoholic beverage in South Korea) is off his upcoming album with Roc Nation.  It's his first release for the label, since signing with them in 2017.

During his interview (one of several recently), Park answered questions about b-boying, kpop, BTS, cultural appropriation, tattoos and the relationship between South and North Korea. He also explained why he created his second label, H1GHR MUSIC, after creating AOMG (he says he did so for contractual reasons).  And he also announced (unintentionally) that his new album (with Roc Nation), "Ask 'Bout Me," will be out on July 20.

The interview was uploaded to "Sway's Universe" YouTube channel hours after it had taken place, and includes an epic freestyle from Jay Park, spitting fire over a DJ Premier beat.  On May 24, the international entertainer, Jay Park, uploaded the freestyle to his YouTube channel, which will make it easier for his fans to find. He's already gotten a huge positive response from people from around the world, for the "Sway In The Morning" appearance, and on Twitter, he has thanked fans for the "support and encouragement," with a link to the YouTube upload, saying everyone got him "feeling great." You can find the full interview and the freestyle clip below.

Lucky for fans, the rapper sat down on two separate occasions recently to talk about his life and the rise of hip-hop in South Korea. The first interview was for the March 7th face to face with rapper Snacky Chan for Chan's YouTube series - "Undergod."   The second was for American rapper Dumbfoundead's March 20th (ep. 31) podcast of "Fun With Dumb." During the podcast, Dok2 provided a mini-history lesson for anyone interested in South Korean hip-hop.
