Epik High: Butterfly Effect


Epik High (aka Tablo, Mithra Jin, DJ Tukutz)
Dudes, Epik High is maybe one of my all time faves.  OK, so most (almost all) of their songs are exclusively sung/rapped in Korean but they are still awesome.  Their instrumentals/beats/rhymes are pretty unique and infectious either way.  
PS, the lead who goes by the name of "Tablo" went to Stanford and majored in english lit before apparently realizing that K-pop was the way to go -haha!   I joke, but while he was in Cali he really did grow his roots in the underground hip-hop clubs and make a serious name for himself before heading back overseas with Epik High.   Enjoy this lead track from their most recent release (titled Lovescream).   




The Butterfly Effect

All causes and all effects.
No college shit necessary to acknowledge it.
Some call it love and some call it sex. opposites.
Call it what you want, but with one touch and you’re gone, so call in sick.
Human politics, from whispered hushes and distant crushes.
Mental fits breakin’ pencil tips and inkin’ brushes.
Simple rushes.
God creates man, and this is the devil’s finishing touches.
From dukes to duchesses and kings to queens.
From dust to dust, this is the sinful theme.
The scene for crack fiends and gun-packin’ teens
High on vaccines, magazines and saccharine.
