Stable beat. Correct pronunciation. Broad spectrum. These are the weapons of Lil Boy (Oh Seung-taek, 29), who won the final championship in Mnet’s’Show Me the Money 9′(hereinafter referred to as Show Me 9) that ended on the 18th. He was the most basic as a rapper, but with virtues that no one can have, he recorded a final amount of 21.98 million won in the finals, beating 2nd place Musch Venom (10,470,000 won). After 5 years of re-challenge after season 4, he became the’Young Boss’ and showed off the health of’Emotional Rap’. It showed that it can work without swearing and dis, bluffing and bragging about money.

On the 22nd, he met at his studio in Samseong-dong, Seoul, and said, “I can’t feel it yet.” As the level of social distancing was elevated due to Corona 19, the contest was held with pre-recording with the online evaluation team, and it is difficult to eat a meal with people who suffered rather than a grand celebration party. “It was unfortunate that there were no audiences on site, but I think that a more diverse stage could come out. I had to sing an exciting song to induce a response, but I was able to be free there.” ‘Credits’, which he chose as the final song, expresses gratitude to those who have been with him for the past two months, and is an atmosphere that suits harmony rather than competition.

In the finals, the’Credit’ stage with producers Giant T. Giriboy and rapper Yeomta. Lilboy said, “With the clock stopped, Yeomta hyung was the role of guiding him into the space of recollection of the past, like a rabbit in’Alice in Wonderland’.” [사진 Mnet]

‘On Air’ stage with Loco, Park Jae-bum, and Gray in the final. Lilboy, who was eliminated from the’On It + Boss’ stage in the first contest with Loco and Jaebum Park in Season 4, said, “It will be a big deal if we fall again, but if we win, the result will change, so I wanted to try again.” [사진 Mnet]

He became more free from the depression and interpersonal symptoms that have plagued him for the past five years. He made his debut as a hip-hop duo Giggs with Louis in 2011 and sang’Officially Missing You’ and’Officially Missing You, Two’ with Soo-Yoo in succession, accusing him of “not hip-hop” and “music made to make money”. He also confessed that he had received it. “We made really pure music, but we hated the calculated gaze. When I think about it now, I only need to be proud, but I think I had too many thoughts.” He has been undergoing hospital treatment two years ago, adding, “I refused the consultation because I was not reluctant to do so, but I came out on’Show Me 9’and the members of the’Self Team’ listened to the story so well, so I think I saw the effect of the consultation very well.”

The strength gained from producers such as Giant T and Giri Boy, as well as members of the team such as Onestein, Chilin Homi, and Sky Minhyuk was great. “When Giriboy first started music, I joined the first crew, and it was very comfortable to meet ZionT hyung while attending a performance. Beat Maker Slom is also a friend I’ve been with. In season 4, I was only motivated to prove me, but they did a lot of mental care next to me.” In particular, for Wenstein, who became a hot topic for his extraordinary chemistry, he said, “It seemed like I was seeing my former appearance. “I hope that innocence will not be lost until death. Thanks to that, I was able to go back to the beginning.”

Five years ago, “Who will tell me / this bit hip-hop since the / me cub emotion arm” ( “On Et + Boss”), including days Line lyrics “I wish all want better / These words may seem a lie / is certain I don’t want to hurt anymore” (‘When Tomorrow Comes’) and so on. “In the end, hip-hop seems to be honest. Even if I see my favorite rappers such as Jacob and Chance the Rapper, they are not provocative. They are the people who talk about themselves.” He said that he likes romantic comedy movies such as’About Time’ and said, “It seems to resemble the calm and warm art view of my favorite works.” “There are various arguments such as poetry and sermons based on the origin of rap, but in the end, it is all about conveying and persuading messages, so I tend to pay a lot of attention to properly convey it”

In this’Show Me 9′, a benefit called’Music Business Plan’ was added to the existing winning prize of 100 million won and the Mini Cooper car. This is for the winner to set up his own label and provide systematic support for future music activities. Lilboy, who organized half-time records with Takeone and Janu last year, said, “It’s not limited to a specific genre, but people who want to do cool music gathered, and it felt like a good’wrapping paper’ was added.” “Music has always been made hard, so I think I need exposure so that more people can hear it.” He said, “I want to eat soup,” he added, “I plan to finish the work of a solo album that has been prepared for a long time by eating more delicious soup specially, and to participate in Giggs team activities.”

Lilboy said, “In a situation where the range of activities with Corona 19 is limited, many rappers appeared and’Show Me 9’seems to have become more diverse,” he said. “I thank the production team for making each character look good.” Hyukjae Kwon Photo Reporter

Has his dream of “growing Korean hip-hop pie” come true? “It’s gotten a lot bigger than before, but I think it’s still a long time left. Just as the Korean music market grew as the idol market grew, I think hip-hop could grow even bigger if superstars continue to appear. Actually, I’m the’generation who’s stuck.’ In the past, it was natural for the hyungs to lead their younger siblings because of their success, but with the start of’Show Me’ in 2012, it turned a lot. Younger friends have become more successful, and values ​​conflict intensified. Rappers my age, born in the early 90’s, have a respect for the previous generation and like the genres that younger siblings do, but they all have similar concerns. It’s tremendous, but I think it’s the task of’Young Boss’ to expand the middle ground well in the meantime.”
