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. They added rapper Beenzino later that year. In 2016, the two established a second label, of younger up-and-coming artists called Ambition Musik. The co-CEOs also toured the United States in 2016, and in 2017, putting on great high energy performances. INLet'sGo! caught their 2016 stop in Atlanta. 

On November 11, 2020, The Quiett dropped his last double single under 1LLIONAIRE RECORDS, marking the last 1LLIONAIRE DAY (of new music drops), and the final project for the company. Dok2 parted ways with the label in February, and in July, the company announced it was shutting down. 

The Quiett's new release (and last 1LLIONAIRE RECORDS drop) "BENTLEY 2," features YUMDDA on the title track. The second song, "Abu Dhabi" features Skinny Brown, Ambition Musik's Leellamarz and H1GHR MUSIC rapper Sik-K. The Quiett first released a song titled "BENTLEY" back in 2015, as part of his "1 Life 2 Live" album. Check out the new version, along with the visuals for it, below.
