If you're into K-Pop, you will probably (maybe?) be familiar with Epik High. They're a Korean Hip-Hop group. The first video I ever saw from them was "One." At that time I was feeling pretty down, and I could really relate to it. I also felt like the lyrics and the video together were very powerful. You might not feel the same, and honestly I don't get the same impact from the video like the first time when I saw it. Maybe because it's already familiar to me or maybe because I'm older and at a different place now; I don't know.
I don't really listen to rap, but I find that I can really relate to their lyrics or at least I find them clever or interesting. I also like the sound of songs like "One," "Pieces of You," "It's Cold" etc. They also have some eerier songs like "Paranoia." Some songs also comment on corruption like "Nocturne." Of course they also have those "don't mess with me" type of songs as well. I really recommend checking them out. They have a wide variety of types of songs, so I feel like you would be able to find something you like. If you don't understand Korean (like me...) I really recommend looking up the translated lyrics as they're usually quite meaningful, unlike most fluffy pop music.
Tablo released his solo album a year or so ago. I like it, but it's more melancholy. Epik High (sort of) recently got together again (military service kept them apart for a while) and came out with a newer album, but I didn't like it that much. It sounded so different from their usual stuff... I think "It's Cold" was released to satisfy fans who wanted something similar to what they're used to (I liked it ha ha).
