INTERVIEW: KHAKII

Freshly signed at WAVY, a South Korean hip-hop label recognized, Khakii is a new prodigy to know. His first single called "BASS" was released last October and already gives us a good taste of its next sounds. Discover now this artist and his interview for MIA:

​

1. Could you present yourself ? 

My name is Khakii. I do music in Seoul, South Korea. WAVY is my Label. 
I wanna show my different taste to everyone who listen to my music.

​

2. Your first single "BASS" was released on 10.24 and one of the lyrics is "I don't do gimmick, I just play music", how can you describe the style of your music? 

I've loved undergound music and culture since i was high school student. I got deep affection to this culture. and I remember there was more lyrical sincerity or understanding (or love) of culture. 
But thesedays, I think many artists are thinking about the character (like some memes or funny behavior) before the music. I don't wanna blame them and I know there's a lot of advantages, but many kids and fans are influenced by them and it makes people to think that Hip-hop is just a light genre for entertainment. And most of all, think it's not unique. Everyone do similar music and this is not good for culture.
I think there are more things that music can do. Not only makes people laugh, it can make them cry, move, make them happy, and change. 

​

3. Will you continue to realize this style of music or do you want to work on different styles? 

I want this style of music on my base. But i have so many more different taste and I am an adventurous person, so I think I can show you guys different styles too. Keep looking forward to it!

​

4. (I usually ask this question in my different interviews because I think it helps to know the artist). Is there someone who inspires you to make music? 

first of all, there is my friends, my collegues in WAVY. I usually get a lot of inspiration when I have good conversation and good discussion. 
These days, I'm into movie directors and their movies... Especially, Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, Stanly Kubric.

​

5. You talk about the "butterfly effect" in BASS, is this a theory that you like? 

Sure, and I wrote it down hoping that my little first song would create a big wave.

​

6. What can your fans expect for the rest of your career ?

Taste to something different, unconventional Ideas, and Love. 
Thank you and sorry for my bad english :)
