Kim Combie


Korean Hip Hop duo, Kim Combie recently announced that they disbanded. Its members, Kim Jot Ki and Kim Pok Ddal released diss tracks against each other.

In 2008, Kim Jot Ki and Kim Pok Ddal formed online community of outcasts in their high school called 'Hoppaclass'(parodying Korean Hip Hop crew
Overclass). Later, Kim Jot Ki and Kim Pok Ddal left Hoppaclass as Kim Combie. They found label called 'BBK Saunds'. They use 'Voiceware', a computer program which converts text data into human voice, instead of their real voice. They gained fame among listeners and some even tried to imitate their Voiceware rap. At the same time, they had to face the harsh criticism questioning the sincerity of their music.

Personally, I enjoy their humourous lyrics (unfortunately it is almost impossible to translate them to English) which reflects Korean internet culture really well.

Kim Jot Ki - Fuck BBK
