iKON's "RHYTHM TA", a Song of Full Hiphop Groove
roup iKON is to display their original hip-hop groove on the beat. Following their debut song "MY TYPE", iKON is presenting fans with another unexpected twist from people's speculations that the team would pick dance music with an intense beat as their second song.
According to a senior official of YG Entertainment ("YG"), the genre of "RHYTHM TA", the title track of iKON's half album "WELCOME BACK", will be hip-hop groove. As the title itself suggests, "RHYTHM TA" will be a song of stronger hip-hop color than "MY TYPE".
The senior official explained, "iKON is originally a hip-hop group, and 'RHYTHM TA' is a song that well-expresses such character of iKON." He also explained "the genre of 'RHYTHM TA' is hip-hop groove that the members can do very well", reminding the dynamic performances that iKON displayed in survival audition show "WIN" and "MIX & MATCH".
"RHYTHM TA"'s melody was written by YG songwriter P.K and iKON member B.I and JU-NE, and its lyrics were written by B.I and BOBBY. iKON members will give TV performances for the song.
"RHYTHM TA"'s simple and direct title makes fans feel all the more curious about the song, following the big popularity of "MY TYPE". Unlike "MY TYPE" that had a very sweet and tender feel, "RHYTHM TA" is expected to be a song that shows iKON's color in their early days. As iKON has members who can perform intense rap music, such as BOBBY and B.I, fans expected that the team's debut song will be hip-hop. How "RHYTHM TA" will captivate fans with a new feel different from sweet and tender appetizer "MY TYPE" is drawing keen attention.
Meanwhile, iKON proved their big potential by sweeping the No.1 on music charts and music shows with their debut warm-up single "MY TYPE" released on September 15.
