H1GHR MUSIC Goes For an Edgier Sound on "H1GHR : RED TAPE" Compilation Album

By Nefertiti Jenkins

Going hard, on the brink of punk rock on at least one track, South Korean hip-hop label H1GHR MUSIC released its first compilation album, titled "H1GHR : RED TAPE" on September 2nd, with an official music video for its song "The Purge." The project includes Jay Park, Golden, Sik-K, pH-1, BIG Naughty, Woodie Gochild, HAON, TRADE L and others. It follows the previously dropped visual for the track "How We Rock." 

On the album, a remix of pH-1's song TELÉFONO, and the much anticipated track “Melanin Handsome” with Sik-K. According to the label, Sik-K, who has darker skin, wanted to say darker skin is beautiful, because "in Korea and Asia in general, a lighter skin complexion is perceived as more beautiful."

H1GHR MUSIC is expected to drop its "H1GHR : BLUE TAPE" on September 16. Check out the "RED TAPE" below.
