Rapper DOK2 is back with a new 16-track project. The artist dropped his "Trust Me I Know Everything You Think I Don't" Mixtape on January 31.  DOK2 is known for his contributions to the rise of hip-hop in South Korea. In 2011, the rapper co-founded (with rapper The Quiett) the legendary now-defunct Illionaire Records and later, in 2016--the still active label-- Ambition Musik. DOK2 has since stepped down from his role as co-CEO of the labels and has left the company. Meanwhile, The Quiett dropped the final project for Illionaire Records on November 11, 2020.  Now DOK2 is back with 808 HI Recordings, with his first album since leaving Illionaire Records. He dropped a behind the scenes visual on YouTube on January 29, for the song "Stars and Moon" from the mixtape. Check out the new music below.

Both songs from the double release are really good.  The music is available now on Google Play, Spotify and iTunes. "1LLOGIC" is today's Song of The Day.
