INLet'sGo!

During the final concert stop for the H1GHR MUSIC U.S. tour earlier this year, co-CEO Jay Park announced that they were going to shoot a music video. The concert was held at The Showbox in Seattle, WA on May 8th. Excited fans gathered around as rappers Sik-K, Jay Park, Woodie Gochild, pH-1, Jarv Dee, Ted Park and Avatar Darko delivered their verses in front of the camera, with Raz Simone, adding a H1GHR gang spiritual vibe. Shot and directed by Harry Clean (Paradice Avenue Souf), with photographer Jordan Nicholson, the music video shoot was for Darko's song "Everywhere We Go." The single, produced by H1GHR MUSIC's WOOGIE, dropped on streaming sites on November 15th (EST), with the official music video released on YouTube. Check it out above.

H1GHR MUSIC's rapper Avatar Darko has joined forces with hip-hop artist Fazt, to honor a fallen Seattle friend, in a new project titled "Chuck District." The EP dropped on July 5, and includes the tracks; "Life on the Line," "Brodi," "Faster Than My Bullet" and "What My OG Told Me." On Instagram Avatar writes... "This is for everyone that’s ever lost a real one who they loved more than life itself." You can find a preview of the new EP "Chuck District" now on Apple Music below. UPDATE: According to H1GHR MUSIC, Chuck was a father figure for Avatar. All proceeds from this project will be donated to Chuck's family. There’s a lot of folklore about Chuck. Mostly all of it is true. He was a brother, a father, a big homie, a true best friend in every aspect. Not only to me, but to all of us, to Seattle. No 1 will ever be able to fill his shoes, he is beyond a legend. @onlyonefazt & I captur...

Titled "On The Road," the melodic hip-hop single (produced by BIG BANANA), comes to us from rappers/singers Sik-K, Woodie Gochild, pH-1 and Ted Park. The musicians were just four of the nine artists who hit the road together (from Seattle, WA, Madison, Wisconsin and South Korea), this spring for the first ever H1GHR MUSIC U.S. tour. The first stop was in Chicago, on April 26, and the last in Seattle on May 8th. "On The Road" dropped on May 28 on Apple Music/iTunes. You can find a link to it (and preview) below.

A lot happened during the final stop of the 2018 H1GHR MUSIC tour. The Seattle, WA concert included performances of unreleased tracks, a b-boy dance break from AOM, a music video shoot in the middle of the venue, and a surprise appearance from label co-CEO Jay Park. It all went down at The Showbox on May 8th. The night started with DJ RocRyte pumping up the crowd for Ted Park, who hit the stage with melodic energy.  Woodie Gochild delivered next with "Let's Get It," -- dancing and spitting fire, even during Jay Park's verse.  Phe Reds followed, captivating everyone with a mesmerizing version of Blackstreet's "No Diggity" and his hit song "Smile." And then there was Raz Simone, who jumped into the audience to perform a complete crowd immersion of "Only One," a Jay Park release in which he's featured on. When co-CEO Cha Cha Malone hit the stage, the crowd went crazy for their favorite producer, who's known for...

Jay Park and Cha Cha Malone's party has spilled over from Seoul into Seattle. In the first H1GHR MUSIC music video, for their artist Avatar Darko, the scene for "All My Crew" opens to legs on the dance floor, to people bumpin, a guy holding a bottle of alcohol, and then girls grinding. The party is clearly happening here, with Avatar Darko and Jay Park right up in the middle of it with their flow and surrounded by women, and a few of the other members of the H1GHR MUSIC crew including Raz Simone and Jarv Dee. The video is pretty ratchet. And maybe a little x-rated for anyone under 18, but no denying it, Avatar Darko sounds good rapping about a girl who slept on him, and Jay Park shows off his skills, dissing with lines like "I sold out shows, you sold your soul." And then extra visuals, besides the booty, includes guys in bear suits fighting with giant boxing gloves, a man in green face, and a Donald Trump piñata. The scene is crazy, but makes for one...
