Although "China New Rap 2020" has been postponed, it is undeniable that the past three years of "China New Rap" have really made every summer unforgettable, and more and more rap musicians have gone to a bigger stage.
Looking at the top three contestants in the past of the show, although some people are publicly publicized and some people are low-key, in general, they have basically developed well, and one of the contestants who has impressed big cats is Ice.
From the regrettable retirement of "China Has Hip Hop" to the effort to win the third place of "China's New Rap 2018", to one of the official producers of "Rap Listen to Me" today, what has Ice experienced over the years?
After winning the third place of "China New Rap 2018", Ice released the first album of his rap career, "7/23", but at that time, this album was not optimistic about everyone, and some people even said that Ice was going downhill.
But Ice did not question himself because of the outside world's evaluation, he left the impetuous, chose to continue to precipitate into music, and brought his second new album "ICEKINGDOM".
The album is led by JMAK of OVO Productions canada, and also includes harikiri and excellent producers such as SMLE_BLACKSHEEP/soulker/KHVN/CALL ME G from South Korea.
You know, OVO Canada is not only a trendy brand founded by Drake, it is also a music team formed by Drake and the dead party, and many of Drake's music affairs are responsible for by the OVO team!
As you can see from the video, ROYWOODS and JMAK from the OVO production team also sent blessings to Ice, and from the dialogue, we also learned about their interesting acquaintance process with Ice and their respect of Ice, it seems that Ice is also an international Ice now!
From the perspective of the content of the album, the big cat feels that Ice is really distracted this time, and many of the songs on the album are even the true portrayals of Ice, and he will integrate his personal experience into the work and tell his story to the listeners.
Since the end of the last century when hip-hop culture was introduced to China, rap began to take root in the land of China, unlike now, rap at that time was almost uninterested, everyone was doing rap with a passion, but this was the best era of rap in Chinese, because everyone was sincerely making this culture acceptable to everyone, so that the Chinese rap circle had a sense of "a hundred flowers blooming".
Although the current Rappers have gradually gone from the underground to the mainstream, the fame and fortune struggle in this circle has also made this circle less pure.
Ice can never forget the era when there was only love and dreams, and he participated in "China New Rap" to show everyone the original appearance of rap, so he wrote about the era that he missed and the original intention of participating in the show at that time into this Don't Forget.
Ice feels that life is like a song, everyone's life is also like an undulating melody, there will be peaks and valleys, the most valuable thing is that a person can play their own life notes after recognizing themselves.
When the first album was said to be "going downhill", Ice's mood had also fallen into a trough, but soon he adjusted his mentality, relaxed his mentality, and came step by step, just like the chorus hummed by freestyle in This Wuya, both the lyrics and the notes are full of confidence, since the surroundings around him cannot predict and resist, it is more necessary to live out his rhythm with more confidence, of course, in addition to this meaning, Wuya itself is also a playful melody rap.
If Don't Forget is Ice's nostalgia for the past, and Wuya is his mental journey after falling into a trough, then this Low boy is more like the inner monologue after Ice's "counterattack" that has a certain degree of popularity today.
Ice has always felt that although he looks "LowBoy" from the outside, the inner soul must be tall and strong and unique, because he has dreams and the courage to realize his dreams, through this song and his own experience, Ice also wants to tell everyone: you may not be born with a golden spoon, you may also be a mediocre person in terms of looks and strengths, but if you have a dream, and will pay unconditional efforts and waiting for it, then you will one day succeed!
Of course, this album is still only released part 1, May 30 will also be online part 2, if part 1 is Ice's inner monologue along the way, then part2 is as far as possible to maximize the premise of not deviating from hiphop, made into hit song.
It can be seen that there are many excellent works in this album, Ice wants to tell everyone through this album that Hip-Hop is not immutable, I believe that after listening to this album, everyone can feel the transformation of Ice, it is no wonder that the "Rap Listen to Me" program team will invite Ice to be a producer, he does have this strength.
As a "passer-by" who participates in rap variety shows, Ice's own willingness is to bring his own experience to help those who seek to shine, so as to make China's Hip-Hop better and better, rather than denying the contestants with a high posture.
Seeing the humble Ice and his good performance in part 1 of this album, Big Cat is really looking forward to the next part 2 and his strength as a producer in "Rap Listen to Me"!
