Passport: John Park (of American Idol Fame) Competes on Korea’s Superstar K

Posted on by

On the last season of American Idol, John Park stood out for his crooner voice and ability to nearly charm the pants off of Shania Twain. John made it to the live semi-finals where he quickly fell into the middle of the pack and was ultimately voted off due to his flat performances and poor song choices. Personally I thought he’d be just another singer who comes and goes from the public radar but it looks like he’s giving his singing career via reality TV another shot. Superstar K, which has a lot in common with The X Factor and American Idol, is a Korean singing competition now in it’s second season. It was a run away hit and John appeared during the audition show and is rumored to be in the final top 10. He decided to sing Alicia Key’s “If I Ain’t Got You” along with a cool rendition of the Wonder Girls’ “2 Different Tears“. Judging from his audition below, he still has some issues with stage presence and “star quality”, but as the female judges Lena Park & Tasha exclaim, he’s still got that charm. Tiger JK and Seo In Young are the other judges in this episode. Gotta love JK’s closing comment “You gotta show American Idol wassup man.”

*Note: mNet’s been taking these clips down from Youtube with a vengeance, so I tried a different host. I can’t promise the clip will be up forever.

This track is a MUST-LISTEN. Definitely one of the nicest hip-hop tracks I’ve heard this year and it features a TON of artists that we regularly feature on a-Tunes. Rakaa Iriscience has put together this mega track for his upcoming album Crown of Thorns set to drop July 20th. Check out this line up!

Tasha, Tiger JK, Roscoe Umali, Chiefsons, Dumbfoundead, Tassho Pearce, Epik High, Jay Jaballas and King Kapisi all jumped on this beat produced by the one and only DJ Honda.

If you can’t wait to hear the track you’re in luck because it’s now available for streaming on Rakaa’s Myspace; just click on “Ambassador Slang” in the music player.

For an indepth review of the track, check out HalfKorean’s thoughts as they were lucky enough to preview the song in full a while back.

Tiger JK and Roscoe Umali have been collabing for a decade now, and their friendship/working relationship show no signs of slowing down. Roscoe tweeted today about the shooting of an MV with Ol Dirty Tiger himself along with the first lady of Korean Hip-Hop Tasha.

Tweet:

Lunch with Ron Artest then it’s off to shoot another Music Video with my Family: @DrunkenTigerJK X @Yoonmirae X @RoscoeUmali = Supergroup

JK & Tasha are in town at LA for this year’s Superstar K auditions.

Speaking of which, hopefully we’ll have some exciting news for you soon on that front but that’s a completely different story =P.

Tiger JK, Tasha, Roscoe Umali Send Video Messages to Fans

For a long time now there has been a website for Drunken Tiger fans called drunkencamp.com. Updated started to get sporadic as time went on so I started checking on it less and less but I discovered today that they have relaunched as a blog!

The owner of the site has been able to follow DT & the Movement camp’s activities in Korea and has captured a video messages of Tiger JK, Tasha, Roscoe Umali, Rakaa, and producer TechBeatz while they were all in Korea recently.

 

The videos are admittedly a couple months old but I doubt many of you have seen this. It’s good to hear them showing love to their fans all around the world.

Drunken Tiger to release 8th album

K-Hip Hop legend Drunken Tiger aka Tiger JK has announced that he will release a new 8th album. It will be entitled ‘Feel ghood muzik’, a mash up of feel good and feel hood. It will be a double disc album that will showcase two distinct styles of hip-hop, laid back vs aggresive. The album is supposed to feature a who’s who list of finest hip hop talents to grace the mic, both Korean and abroad. Rakim, Dilated People, and Zeebra of Japan along with his wife Tasha, Dynamic Duo, Yang Dong Gun, Double K, and others are all reported on this one.

I’m definitely looking foward to the concept/release. Makes me wonder if DJ Shine ever regrets parting ways.

Look for it to drop June 29th.

WTF: Drunken Tiger – The Legend Of …

Today, on a very special Weekly Thursday Freebie…

Recent events have led me to be nostalgic for the glory days of Drunken Tiger. Their third album, ‘The Legend Of…’, released in 2001 marked a new era for the group as they suddenly found themselves accepted widely by mainstream Korea. This album also heavily featured collaborations between other Asian American artists such as DJ James Jhig, Micki Eyes and Roscoe Umali (who handled much of the production) along with continued work with Bobby Kim and Tasha.

This album still remains one of my favorites to this day. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

Track list and link after the break.

The Movement Crew, Korea’s elite Hip-Hop collection has finally released the fourth version of their respected series of collaborations. This one seemed to pass under the radar as it was released on Bizzy’s debut album. Bizzy is one of the newer members of the movement crew and hasn’t fully established himself beyond his usual role as Tiger JK’s hypeman/DJ Shine replacement so its really no surprise this track hasn’t received more recognition.

This fourth release includes: Sean2Slow, Mithra Jin (Epik High), Eun Jin Won, Tiger JK, Bizzy, Double K, Dok2, Bobby Kim (Buga Kingz), Tasha, Choiza(Dynamic Duo), Gary (LeeSsang), Tablo (Epik High), Juvie Train (Buga Kingz), Gan-D (Buga Kingz), TopBob(TBNY), Yankie (TBNY), Gaeko (Dynamic Duo)

MP3′s and more after the jump!

JK & T Tie the Knot

I can’t vouch for the validity of this news, but word is two of Korea’s most influential Hip-Hop musicians, Tiger JK and Tasha, got married over a year ago and have already had their first child, a son, earlier this year.

Rumors of their relationship had been swirling around for quite some time now but nothing was ever concrete.

Given, they aren’t exactly A-List celebrities in Korea but how they managed to keep this under wraps for such a long time is a mystery.

Regardless, congrats are in order, and aTunes wishes them the best.
