SIKKOO, the dynamic hip-hop group under AOMG, has made a highly anticipated comeback with their new EP titled ‘Gan’. To celebrate this release, the group hosted an exhilarating showcase event on the 29th in Gangnam, Seoul. They highlighted the energetic mood of their music and their signature clever wordplay.
SIKKOO’s Origin Story
Comprising members Yoshi, 200, and Kuminjae, SIKKOO debuted last year with the special album ‘Han: Cooked’. They quickly gained popularity through their viral video ‘Team Domodachi’, which amassed over 10 million views. The name ‘Sikgu’, meaning family in Korean, was suggested by Yoshi during a casual pizza meal. This reflects the close-knit bond between the members.
Gan: AOMG’s New Venture
‘Gan’ marks their first album since joining the esteemed AOMG label. For Yoshi, this is a dream come true, as he has admired the label since childhood. This EP features four distinct tracks: ‘BANGATGAN’, ‘MAGUTGAN’, ‘DAEJANGGAN’, and ‘PUJUTGAN’. Each track is uniquely written and composed by the group. The title track serves as an anthem of triumph against fake rappers, showcasing their authentic style.
SIKKOO’s Musical Evolution
The underlying theme throughout the album revolves around confronting fake rappers. Their lyrics resonate deeply with Korean cultural elements. SIKKOO clarified that their message is not aimed at specific individuals. Instead, it critiques those who lack authenticity in their music and lifestyle.
Their musical style is characterized by a fusion they describe as ‘pot stew hip-hop’, ‘rice soup hip-hop’, and ‘spicy chicken hip-hop’. These styles aim to carve out a distinctly Korean sound. Looking ahead, SIKKOO is set to take center stage as the first act in AOMG’s exciting ‘2.0 rebranding project’. They plan to explore various artistic avenues beyond music into entertainment and media.
With their new EP ‘Gan’, SIKKOO is undoubtedly poised to make waves in the music industry while staying true to their roots. Their journey reflects a blend of cultural influences and innovative sound, making them a standout in the hip-hop scene.
