Sep 16, 2020 2 mins, 44 secs

H1GHR MUSIC artists have been chosen as the cover artist of Billboard Korea Magazine’s 5th issue.

Since its launch in 2017, Jay Park’s H1GHR MUSIC has been focusing on expanding the label and its roster of talent, who've been making appearances on hip-hop related TV shows such as Dingo Freestyle and Show Me the Money while consistently dropping new albums.

With their first compilation album H1GHR : RED TAPE, H1GHR MUSIC is embarking on a journey to become the predominant hip-hop label in the country.

And, of course, the compilation gathers all the label’s rappers in a single album.

While the rest of roster shows off their musical artistry of rap in “How We Rock” and “Teléfono Remix”, new artists like BIG Naughty and TRADE L make their presence felt.

Following the release of HIGHR : RED TAPE, the label is set to drop the second compilation album, HIGHR : BLUE TAPE on Sep?

He shares the story about his first label-wide compilation album.

BB: What motivated you to do a compilation album for H1GHR MUSIC.

By putting all our work together, I thought it’d help the newer artists get more recognition.

I can imagine the great level of synergy as a team.

He’s our newest addition to the roster and was not very famous until the release of our first compilation music video “How We Rock,” which instantly gained over a million views.

So artists turn to putting out more productions and music videos, which in the eyes of the public can get quite overwhelming?

Despite all that, our album kicked off with great responses and I feel grateful for that.

I’d asked the artists to send in their work and I got a ton of it.

The pre-release songs before the official drop of H1GHR : RED TAPE on Sep.

2 are receiving some great responses.

To be frank, it’s not easy to put together such a successful work with so many artists getting involved.

What was it like to work with such a large group of artists.

He’s got the talent and a lot of ideas, and more importantly, he shows consistency in his work.

When we were toying with the idea of compilation, I’d asked all the artists to send in their work and he was the one sending the most, which contributed to speeding things up.

What would you want people to see through this compilation album.

The H1GHR MUSIC artists.

They are all great people with some great work done in my view.

It’d also be nice to let people know that we’re proudly making music under H1GHR MUSIC as H1GHR MUSIC artists, not an affiliate label of AOMG; we’ve never been an affiliate of AOMG.

How do you see the future of H1GHR MUSIC.

We’ve already signed with a few foreign artists such as souf souf who recently had his album released, and 28AV who’s done some work with Lil Mosey.

We plan to promote the compilation album across the U.S.

We’ve made the compilation album happen for ourselves and now here we are being interviewed by Billboard Korea and making another opportunity for us to promote the album.
