There are rappers and there are singers. But some artists combine both vocal styles to create their own contemporary sound—like BIG Naughty. The Korean songwriter (aka Seo Dong-hyeon) became an instant hit when he finished fourth on TV rap show Show Me the Money 8 in 2019. He then signed to Korean-American hip-hop label H1ghr Music, through which he released the energising song collections Bucket List in 2021, NANGMAN the following year and 2023’s Hopeless Romantic. His best-loved tracks include jazzy, swinging JAMIE collab “Joker” and the soulful ode “Korean Ballad”.
