2 dedicated koreanz in love with the art of music, especially with hiphop... they're goal is not to become famous, but to add what they can to the music industry... they want people to love music and hiphop as much as they do... they hope to accomplish that, by making their own songs.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
ydOubleOnie = yoon hoon moon
was rapping since 6th grade... so hez been rappin for 5 years... he seriously took rapping 3 years ago... always loved hiphop music, but his ambition to actually make songs and rap was inspired by a old friend as known as Josh Decastro & a artist named Taylor Brown, both were good and close friends of his at the time... much influenced by eminem, canibus, atmosphere, and other artists... yoon has changed his rhyme scheme many times over the months and years of his rapping...
now focusing on his delivery process and his ability to freestyle and battle people... yoon is also in the works of making unique beats and trying to concoct music that people will enjoy and listen to... yoon considerz himself a producer and also a musican artist, but doesn't think he'z good enough to be applauded... YET.
yoonz rhymes are usually MULTIz with some witty METAPHORz, that usually focus topics about: "life, his daily struggles, girls, love for hiphop, and his unique life".
Yoon does not claim to be a thug, a gangster, or a person who thinks he is tough...
"i'm jus in love with music, and i just want people to love it as much as i do... i also want to teach them (listenerz) a few things as they listen to my music... like lessons in life of not givin up... and etc."
j bum = jay bum park
was rapping since about middle school. went to the same middle school as yoon hoon moon, but they did not ever really became good friends during middle school. jay park was also inspired by hiphop. rapping at first was jus a hobbie that he would play around doing, but it then became serious to him after Josh Decastro recruited him into a group called, "SICKSENSE". After the group was dispersed in 2001, jay started to talk to yoon again and they became closer friends.
yoon pushed jay to start writing lyrics and pushed him to start rapping seriously. jay has been always intrigued with hiphop, even in dancing.. at the moment jay uses his time in practicing break dancing and popping. over the years with yoon, according to yoon, jay's ability to write and spit lyrics have increased and grew to great heights... jay and yoon have been working, rapping, dancing, and chilling since 2002... they've grown close and consider eachother as brother and family.
Jay's rhymes are multis with Metaphors also, ever since he was rapping with yoon, their rhymin scheme has grown some what alike. but even so, jay's rhymes and yoon's differ in many ways, and so does their delivery... jay claims he can write about anything, "just give me a topic, dawg... and i'll write some DOPE lines" Jay always tries to 'kick off' free styles, in order to get better. Jay and Yoon believe they still got a long way to go... until they'll be as good as they want to...
