Now Listening To: Simon Dominic - "Darkroom: Roommates Only" - an Album On Repeat

In the 'Behind The Scene' video for the song "Demolition Man," uploaded to the AOMG YouTube channel, AOMG co-CEO, Simon Dominic, says he had been going through a hard time for a while, but working on that track was a "healing time" for him.

You can never feel my pain. You can never feel my pain.

The powerful song, "Demolition Man," featuring Kim Jong-Seo, ends on a jazzy note, and is a track on the new studio album, "Darkroom: Roommates Only," which hit online streaming platforms in a surprise move for fans, on June 15. The album is the first for the artist in three years, since the release of the hip-hop EP "Won & Only" in 2015.

This new work of art, is mellow and groovy. Beginning with the dreamy psychedelic funk beats on the first track, "Roommates Only." Throughout the entire album, we hear Simon D's smooth flow. The South Korean rapper is from the city of Busan, and when he spits bars, you hear his Busan accent in songs like "Ullah," the eighth and final track.

The lyrics may be mostly in Korean, but the rawness of the melodies, is the only language needed to connect with Simon D's deep melodic vibe. You can find his new music on iTunes/Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play Music and more.

South Korean rapper The Quiett rides out in a Bentley in final 1LLIONAIRE RECORDS release - "BENTLEY 2"

With his laid-back 90s rap flow and braggadocious lyrics, rapper The Quiett is one of the smoothest artists in hip-hop. He is also the co-founder, with rapper Dok2, of one of the most influential record companies in South Korea. Both are part of a group of legends responsible for putting South Korean hip-hop on the map. Their label - 1LLIONAIRE RECORDS, was established in January 2011.

Song of The Day: Villain's LIVE Video for "A Piece Of Work"

by Nefertiti Jenkins The fifth track on Villain's first mini album is soul piercing, mesmerizing and beautiful. When you hear "A Piece Of Work" on the new "Bank Robber" EP, it will move you. The mostly hip-hop album dropped with an official music video for title track "Manitto," on August 1st with Planetarium Records. A second visual display of Villain's falsetto vocal range was uploaded days later, on August 3rd, as a live performance of "A Piece Of Work." Unlike other tracks on the album, which include lyrics in English and Korean, "A Piece Of Work" is a ballad and is almost entirely in Korean. According to translated subtitles of the Behind The Scenes video for "Bank Robber," the artist says the song is about having been in love with someone for a long time, without others (or that person) knowing. Even the scribbles on the wall are starting to fade too. I didn't erase it. The time passes by too much....
