10-korean-rappers-that-you-should-know
The South’s got something to say — South Korea, that is. Over the last several years, the nation’s hip-hop scene has exploded as acts like Keith Ape, Zico and CL have been killing the game in Korea, while gradually establishing a presence in the U.S. For those not paying attention, it might seem like the Korean rap scene of today materialized overnight, but that’s certainly not the case. Hip-hop has been thriving in the country for years.

It goes without saying that the hip-hop scene has grown leaps and bounds over the last several years in South Korea, and music magazine XXL Mag has decided to shine a light on the South Korean hip-hop scene by taking a look at some of the biggest names in the culture today.

From Okasian and JayAllDay to CL and G-Dragon, here are the 10 rappers who XXL Mag thinks everyone should know about.
