Great Comback

After two years, Outsider (Shin Ok-cheol) has made an extraordinary comeback. The single 'Alone' is a masterpiece within itself and really does the title of the album justice. Outsider is a true 'Maestro' of his craft. This album really has a different side than his first album. If his past album is considered 'old school hip hop', then this is a classic. This album has a nice mix of classical and R&B music without getting rid of Outsider's true flow and style. Some of the most creative songs are: Track 5 (Wodoli meaning 'loner' or 'alone') This is the hit single release that really makes this album whole. This song has some amazing lyrics and shows Outsider at his absolute creative best. If nothing made you a fan in the past, this song might turn you around. The PV is really nice and seeing him perform this song live is amazing. Track 6 (Piero ui noonmool) is an amazing mix of soft harp and violins with a steady hip-hop beat. It truly feels like a story being told. (for anyone who has played Kingdom Hearts II, the background music sounds a bit like when you walk around Beauty and Beast's Castle.) ^^ Track 7 (Therapist) is an unusual mix of rock and rap. It fits Outsider really well and it gives him a perfect time to show off. It feels like a battle. Track 11 (Luv Business) This is a REALLY nice track. It has an amazing R&B feel and is one of the best collaborations on the album. It has a sweet beat and makes you want to bounce. This is a song that I'd drive around to. Track 12 (Face Off) MC Sniper and Outsider make a really nice team. Respectively mentor and student, this is an amazing collabortion to hear. Its nice to hear the two 'face off'. The talent really flies in this song. Overall, compared to the previous album, this one feels more complete in creativity and I highly recommend people give this album a spin. It will leave you amazed and the CD won't leave your player for a long time. |

This album is amazing. Every single track is worth listening and Outsider is not only a good rapper, but a great lyricist. If i'm not mistaken he wrote almost all lyrics. He really put a lot of effort in the song-writting. In an interview with Arirang TV he said before making this album in order to be able to write lyrics that could touch people's heart, he traveled alone (as a backpacker) through Korea and approached strangers and talked to them about life and other things. One of the songs that you can notice this is the track number 05, '외톨이' (Waetooli; Loner). Besides the touching and well-written lyrics, Outsider's songs also have great melody and arrangements and features his great rapping skills. He raps very fast (he's the fastest rapper in Korea and one of the fastest of the world), but unlike other speed rappers you can hear clearly every world he raps. Another interesting thing is that the speed raps in his songs are not added in vain, they are only added when he wants to show a catharsis of feelings that the lyrics are expressing or when he thinks it makes sense on the song. So with this album, you'll not only listen to a real rapper with great skills, but also to a true artist that's really devoted to music. |
