I really love this artist–considered to be one of the most influential and best female rappers in Korea (I say arguably in the world, how many talented female rappers in any music industry can one name?). Her voice is amazing in both R&B and in hip-hop…it takes a completely different form each time. Its strong and powerful, and rich with emotion, in both styles. She is half African American and half Korean, and is fluent in both languages (raised in Korea). I just recently got hooked onto the single 잊었니 (Eehjuhnee, Did You Forget?) from her comeback 3rd album (after a 4 year hiatus). I can actually pick up a lot of the lyrics (yay me :P!), so I really do enjoy this song a lot, for its musical arrangement, T’s really great voice, and the honesty of the emotion in the words…”Did you forget? Did you forget our happiness? Did you forget? Did you forget our love?”
MV of the song, a little more confusing to me than the song itself.
And I really love this performance of one of her rap songs from the 3rd album, “KumEun Haengbok” (haengbok is happiness, but i don’t know what kumeun is 
). edit: Thanks to Lauren, I do know what KumEun is–Black. So the song is “black happiness.”
Its a really energetic performance, and there’s a voice over (in English) by her dad….and I love these words
“Sometimes its hard to see all the good things in your life/And I know it hurts sometimes but you got to be willing to try/Sometimes its hard to see all the good things in your life/But you got to be strong and you got to hold on and LOVE YOURSELF!”
Well its Friday night (saturday morning) and I don’t really have much to say. I’m almost done reading Little Dorrit. Charles Dickens was a genius, unparalleled, incomparable. Read Little Dorrit if you haven’t. You won’t regret it. Its not only a book with hundreds of life lessons, but its also extremely funny, comedy at its very best.
And so….Aja Aja! Coz I got to be strong and I got to hold on and love myself…. 
Just awesome!
yes she is, isn’t she?? glad you liked it!
KumEun means black so her song is called black happiness
Aaah…that makes sense. Thanks Lauren
no matter how pretty a girl is… if she opens her mouth and that blackccent comes out… it’s a total turn off. too bad tasha, you’re pretty babe-a-licious..
truth: I find what you said racist and offensive, in so many ways. In one sentence you’ve demonstrated a sexist, racist, and chauvinistic attitude: such a cheap shot degrades you as a human being. If you don’t have anything valuable to say, just keep these personal feelings to yourself.
I respect if anyone has any different opinions on artists I profile, and I would never reject a valid criticism, but I cannot tolerate any ignorant argument based on an individual’s narrowmindedness, lack of respect and disregard for the feelings of others. The only reason I finally chose to keep this comment visible was to make this point. If you’re too cowardly to leave your name on a comment shows that you don’t want to own up to your words because you know they come from the darkest, most shameful recesses of your mind, that means you know its wrong. Please do me favor and just move on without saying a word.
