Bear with me on this one because I know the thumbnail of the article might be a little confusing. The dude pictured is a South Korean rapper who goes by the name Rap Monster.  Rap Monster is ALSO in a Korean boy band called BTS.  Yes, this post is about one of the members of the Korean version of One Direction.  I hope you’re hanging in there though!

The boy band (BTS) has a Youtube video out of them dancing to a mash-up of tracks…including Krizz Kaliko‘s “Spaz”!  You can see that here:

There’s a new editorial at DJBooth.net that details BTS’s association with Strange Music which led to thousands of their Korean fans taking notice of Krizz Kaliko and the entire Strange Music camp.  Check this excerpt from the article below:

It may be hard to hear over the thousands of girls freaking out, but did anyone catch Tech N9ne in there? Turns out they used Krizz Kaliko’s “Spaz” and as a result, their fans flocked to Strange Music, to the point where even Strange took notice. In an interview on Strange Music’s own show, Indie Grind Radio, Krizz and the Strange crew were blown away by the amount of retweets and views they received from BTS’ fanbase. (It’s crazy how a group can have so much power and influence and yet still be virtual unknown in America.) It’s mind blowing to think about someone outside of Strange Music putting Strange Music on the map, but BTS essentially made them popular in Korea. They may be a boy band, but that’s power. Anyway, as it turns out, Rap Monster is a huge fan of Krizz Kaliko, so naturally Krizz and Rap Monster got to talking and ended up making a track together. Oh, it’s also amazing.
