I am the host Nucksal. Nice to meet you!
Hello
I'm hosting this show two years in a row
We have special guests for today
The winners of 2019 Korean Hiphop Awards'
in categories Artist of the Year and Producer of the Year
Please introduce yourselves
(2019 KHA Artist of the Year) Hello, I'm The Quiett
(2019 KHA Producer of the Year) Hello, I'm GIRIBOY
It's nice to meet you
KHA first started on 2017, and this is the 4th year
As the representatives of last year's winners, two special hosts are here
How do you feel being here today?
I'm very thankful to be here
I didn't expect to be invited at KHA as a host
Anyways, I'm here because I'm invited
- Yes, you would not be here if you're not invited - Sure
How about you, GIRIBOY?
I was on my career break, so thanks for inviting me. For giving me a job
- I might get an award - Of course
I would gladly take it
Plz gimme one
"Plz gimme one"
I don't have any expectations for awards
I'm here to look around
But you are the representative of your company
Sure. Many artists in my company are nominated
Also Yumdda and DAMOIM are nominated
I would say I have some expectations
The Quiett is very much a stakeholder to have no expectations
GIRIBOY, how was your last year?
Last year was like...
pooping, I would say?
Like pooping the songs out?
But your songs were well received?
It was like I take out and eat a beat from the fridge
Then I poo, and people clean it up for me afterwards
You wrote songs with ease
But I'm thinking to keep it slow for this year
Both of you are nominated for different awards again
Which KHA award do you want the most?
Of course you are here as the hosts,
but which awards among the ones you're nominated do you want to get the most?
GIRIBOY, do you have one in mind?
Artist of the Year
- AOTY, Artist Of The Year - AOTY
Since I won Producer of the Year
if I can win one for producer and one for artist
People would be like, "he can do everything"
- Then it would be your golden age - Yes. So..
I want Artist of the Year
I'm not hoping for Artist of the Year
Label of the Year
It was a tough year
for me, my employees, and artist in my label
I hope someone would recognize our hard work
You're here as the representative
No, as a member of Ambition Musik
I'm hoping to get the award
We'll have a time to look through hiphop, R&B songs loved in the year of 2019
and to talk about the direction of 2020's hiphop scene
From Best New Artist to Artist of the Year,
we will be awarding 11 categories
Nominees and winners were selected throughout 2 weeks
50% of 14 experts' vote and 50% of online vote were combined
for fair and transparent selection
Then, who would be the hiphop artists with great achievements during 2019?
Let us begin the awards!
The first category is Best New Artist
This is the award you can get only once in your life
Here are the nominees for Best New Artist
KHA 2020 Best New Artist
Best New Artist Nominee ASH ISLAND
Best New Artist Nominee MUSHVENOM
Best New Artist Nominee sogumm
Best New Artist Nominee sokodomo
Best New Artist Nominee Lil Cherry X Jito Mo
Best New Artist Nominee DAMYE
Diverse, fresh-new artists are nominated
What are your thoughts about these nominees?
For me, ASH ISLAND is the most memorable
because I had seen him most closely
So you'll take care of your people
- He's just the most memorable, had I seen him too often? - It's reasonable because you'd seen him closely
I'd say sokodomo is the most memorable
He has his own character
His music video too
He's like a person gone mad. That's him charm.
Both ASH ISLAND and sokodomo were great
But I'd seen MUSHVENOM the most often
There's no choice. Our brains don't lie.
He was sensational
He was the most impressive
All 6 nominees had shown remarkable performance
Who would be the winner of Best New Artist?
GIRIBOY, please announce the winner
Sponsored by HOPHOPLE and HIPHOPPLAYA
and media partnership with STRIT, 2020 Korean Hiphop Awards
the winner of Best New Artist is
ASH ISLAND of Ambition Musik
Best New Artist: ASH ISLAND
Congratulations, take this first
The winner of Best New Artist: ASH ISLAND His debut album <ASH> is completely produced by TOIL
90's rock sound and mood received lots of love
ASH ISLAND, congratulations!
Please give your acceptance speech!
I'll hold this while I talk
Yes, good. You can hold it
I didn't expect...
to get this award...
There are too many cameras
It's okay. You don't have to get nervous
It's an honor to receive this award
I first want to thank The Quiett, Ambition Musik family
and those who worked on my albums together:
TOIL and Skinny Brown. Thank you so much.
I believe this award is for all of us
Thank you so much, and it's really an honor
Best New Artist is a very meaningful award
Did you know that you would receive the award?
I knew I would win it
You were confident about it
What was your mindset working on your albums
I thought, "I don't care even if I die tomorrow"
Do you mean you worked on it until you were satisfied?
I often don't get satisfied on my works
but I always try my best
This award is the result of your hard work
Congratulations a lot
Thank you
What was the representative of your company,
The Quiett's influence on your works?
Or were there any other people who had influence on your works?
Could you leave for a sec? He seems uncomfortable
very uncomfortable
He can talk in front of me
I want to hear his answer. Pretend I'm not here
The Quiett have much influence on my life overall
But on my musical works,
TOIL and Skinny Brown are the most influential
And many other Korean and foreign artist have much influence on my works, too.
So you get a lot of influence from other works
and The Quiett's work is just one of them
- I'm just one of them - One Of Them
But he's the mentor of your life
GIRIBOY, do you have any questions for ASH ISLAND? Anything?
He reminds me of CHANGMO
CHANGMO = ASH ISLAND
He's like CHANGMO's lilttle brother
By their looks?
Yes, like...their styles are similar
Like eyes and nose..
I never though of that, but..it's quite convincing
Do you think you're better than CHANGMO?
I guess
You were very active in 2019
with your full-length, collab, single albums
What are your plans from now on?
In 2020, I'll continue my hard work
My albums, and things I've wanted to do like collab albums
and et cetera.
Thank you for sharing. And congratulations again!
- This was the winner of Best New Artis, ASH ISLAND - Thank you

I'd listened to JJANGYOU's "115" a lot
"115" by JJANGYO (Lyrics: JJANGYOU / Composer: Hukky) Isn't it the song with one-take music video that keeps tracking the person?
I'd listened to JJANGYOU's songs a lot

We really poured our souls in them

Especially "METEOR" has been on the top chart for a long time after the release, boasting its popularity
Congratulations a lot, CHANGMO
Please give your acceptance speech
I feel great
Last year, I posted "Why didn't I get any awards?" on Instagram
But now that I got this award, I feel embarrassed and glad at the same time
I wore this jacket to commemorate my album, just in case
This jacket in on my album cover
Oh that is~
I've thought about "METEOR"
I don't think I wrote an exceptional song
I think my fans and listeners
have made this song special. I really appreciate it
Congratulations a lot
CHANMO really wanted an award
Now his dream came true. I'm proud of him
I think you can have a company dinner tonight
If not, bonus
Incentive
Yes. Incentive, bonus, gratuity, things like that
CHANGMO's life itself is incentive now
You can directly tell him "I want this"
"I've come this far, you should do this for me"
I should tell this now
I have talked about this with employees
Isn't my album successful, boss?
Hawaii
Employees and I, what's that called?
Workshop in Hawaii!
Hawaii, okay!
That's a small wish
I thought he was going to ask for the company shares
You must feel great
Sure, I'm really proud about it
Ambition Musik is winning everything from the start
Not only "METEOR", but also all other songs in the album is highly acclaimed
What came to you first while you worked on the album?
Until 2 year ago, when I worked on "Reached Moment", I cared a lot about what others would think
I'd always thought I should look cool
I felt like I'm getting far from who I think I really am
It felt like there's something artificial about my music
So for this album, I put aside other's opinions
I fully concentrated on telling stories I'd wanted to tell
and on making music that I'd like to listen to
As if you were returning to the beginner's mind
CHANGMO really becomes a mad man when he starts working on his albums
"You should try to enjoy"
"You can't do music for a long time like that!" I said those things to him
But he's making splendid achievements with his recent album
I believe his hard works are being compensated
Congratulations again
This was 2020 KHA's winner of Best Hiphop Song, CHANGMO
Next category of award is Best Music Video
It will be awarded to the music video with
the best mise-en-scene or the most sensational effect
You have shot many music videos, right?
I haven't done many
I personally don't enjoy it because it's too exhausting
Music video is always the most exhausting part
I shot two music videos recently
"What's Wrong" and "Snow Sweeping" are song that I poured my heart
more than any other songs I've wrote during 10 years of my career
I hope many people watch them. They were expensive to shoot.
Music videos are not cheap to shoot
Music videos are hard
Artists always struggle with music videos
Here are the nominees for Best Music Video
KHA 2020 Best Music Video Nominees
Best Music Video Nominee "GOTTASADAE" by BewhY / Directed by a HOBIN Film
Best Music Video Nominee "Son oF a" by E SENS / Directed by BANA
Best Music Video Nominee "MSG" by Dynamic Duo (Feat, PENOMECO) / Directed by ARFLIM
Best Music Video Nominee "PARANOID" by ASH ISLAND / Directed by MADSCENE
Best Music Video Nominee "METEOR" by CHANGMO / Directed by DearLiar
Best Music Video Nominee "Armadillo" by Balming Tiger / Directed by Pennacky
I'll announce the winner of Best Music Video
Sponsored by HOPHOPLE and HIPHOPPLAYA
and media partnership with STRIT, 2020 Korean Hiphop Awards
the winner of Best Music Video is
"Armadillo" by Balming Tiger
The winner of Best Music Video: Director Pennacky "Armadillo" is released on January 2019.
The song and the video contains the message that swag, which Blaming Tiger already have, cannot be bought with money
Hello, this is
Smells like "Balming Tiger"
How do you feel about winning KHA 2020's Best Music Video
It's an honor the win this award
I'm glad because I believe this is the proof that many people enjoyed our video
Who is director Pennacky?
Pennacky is my friend that I met when I was studying in Japan
He is a precious friend who reached out for me when I was doing music without anyone's help
He is working on music videos of various genres, such as recent JOJI's, and even Japanese idols' and indie bands'
Hello, I am Pennacky
Thank you so much for the award
I didn't expect to receive this amazing award
I'm thankful for my friends who helped me making the video
I believe I wouldn't have won this award
without my unique, crazy friends called Balming Tiger
I'm grateful for the fateful connections with them
I'm planning to continue making enjoyable works with Balming Tiger
Please look forward to them
Thank you for the award
What were your intentions on this unique music video?
From the 21st century, both on Youtube and Instagram,
people can concentrate on one thing for 3-5 seconds
We thought an ordinary video would be easily forgotten
So we wanted to make a creative video which shows our identity
With the music video of "Armadillo", as you can infer from the lyrics and the video
We wanted to say, "People think of necklaces, jewels, and designer's brands when they think of rappers music videos
but it can still be cool without those things." We wanted to show the opposite idea
For example, there's a scene from the music video
in which I'm sitting naked in front of a video of a fashion show
We wanted to give a message that "it's okay to be different"
What is your favorite scene from the music video?
When there's a video of a fashion show behind me, the video shows me with my different clothes on
but shows me sitting naked at last. That's my favorite scene
I think the scene summarizes the overall message we wanted to deliver with the video
There is actors' dancing part
I believe that scene is the most sensational
And it was the most enjoyable part at the shooting
Are you planning to do a collaboration with 88rising?
We met 88rising in person in New York
and actually got a good offer
But it was quite different from our ideals
so we declined the offer
I won't talk about what happened after that
This year, starting with South by Southwest
we will focus on overseas festivals or tours
And Balming Tiger artists' songs and videos will be released in between
I believe we will be more active than last year
We will keep on making good videos, thank you
Congratulations
I believe the video expressed the concept of the song very well
Congratulations again for winning the award
We will deliver the award to them
Next award is Underrated Album of the Year
Here are the nominees
KHA 2020 Underrated Album of the Year Nominees

We've looked through the nominees for Underrated Album of the Year
Have you listened to the nominated songs?
Of course
All nominees are outstanding, as fans would already know
The albums that are like hidden gems are nominated for this category
I believe when nominees become known as underrated albums
many people would listen to them
It's a pity for these albums to be underrated
GIRIBOY will announce the winner
Sponsored by HOPHOPLE and HIPHOPPLAYA
and media partnership with STRIT, 2020 Korean Hiphop Awards
the winner of Underrated Album of the Year is
OLNL
Come, come! Quickly!
What's taking him so long?
Where are you? You should be here now!
OLNL doesn't come down here after he goes up
He doesn't
Underrated Album of the Year: "CyberLover" by OLNL
- Congratulations - This is the cake we've prepared
The winner of Underrated Album of the Year: OLNL OLNL is loved by lots of hiphop scene fans with the message and lyrics only he can deliver
Please give your acceptance speech
This is quite heavy. Thank you so much
I shared the studio with GIRIBOY before
At that time GIRIBOY received an award
and he put it in the studio like he wanted every visitors to look at it
I was being extra
I didn't know that I would get it this soon. It's surprising
It feels even better because GIRIBOY announced the winner
Did GIRIBOY helped you working on your album?
Not only my album. had it not been for GIRIBOY's help
I might not have been a musician now
Most of the artists in WYBH
are the ones who I contacted after I listened to their songs they sent me via email
OLNL is one of them
When I listened to the song sent by "Lee Jaewon"
I thought he could do music well. Then we met each other
When was it?
3 to 4 years ago
It's amazing that you two have met here
as the presenter and the winner
Expert judges' comment on this album is:
"G-Rated" is the first work that OLNL's concept of sincerity is shown in scale
"Cyber Lover" is another masterpiece which proves such concept can be steadily reproduced
OLNL proves the real worth of an artist with an iron hand in a velvet glove
"Iron hand in a velvet glove", I like it. That expression suits OLNL
What does it mean?
I don't use a single word in that comment
It means he looks soft and tender on the outside
but he's tough and strong on the inside
Now that you've heard the experts' commentary on your album
How do you feel?
It feels like they've thought a lot about my music. I'm so grateful.
"Iron hand in a velvet glove" is stuck in my head
I'm also thankful for teaching me that expression
Then the title for your next album would be "Iron hand in a velvet glove"?
I might use it in lyrics. Maybe for the 6th track
You adopt it right away
Anyways, I believe there's no reason for your album to be underrated
Working your album, what did you try to focus on?
I wanted to use my voice as instruments
I tried to deliver the message with lyrics before
but this time I wanted to deliver it with the music itself
After I set that goal, I made my album like "puff"
It's been quite a while from "Cyber Lover"'s release
I think it's about time to release your next album
Do you have a plan for it?
Of course I have
And I'm working on it
And I'm mostly done
For the sixth track, "an iron fist"... what was it?
"An iron fist in a velvet glove." That's what I have to do
You're done with your 5th track
"An iron fist in a velvet glove." I'll look forward to it
Congratulations again
This was 2020 KHA's winner of Underrated Album of the Year, OLNL
Next categories of award are for the best albums of the year

Do you have any artists on the list whom you want to work with?
I've worked with Crush once
I've worked with Back Yerin, but no one else
Then, including those who've worked with you before
are there anyone on the nominated list you want to do collaborations?
Everyone, I guess
Because I really love R&B,
but I haven't had much chance to collaborate with
R&B artists for my works
So I'm always open to it
When you just said you're open to it
you didn't make gestures, but it sounded like "call me"
There will be my Instagram ID right up here
Then, The Quiett will announce the winner for this category
2020 Korean Hiphop Awards, the winner of Best R&B Album is
"From Midnight To Sunrise" by Crush
Congratulations
He's here!
Best R&B Album: "From Midnight To Sunrise" by Crush
Welcome!
Hello
This is for you, and this cake is for you too
The winner of Best R&B Album: Crush "From Midnight To Sunrise" is filled with relatable and comforting songs, like the title song "With You", and thus was loved by the public
This award plaque is bigger than I thought
It's quite big
Congratulations
Please tell us how you feel about the award
My second full-length album, "From Midnight To Sunrise"
took me about 3 years to finish
I worked really hard on this album for a long time
This album was not commercially successful
But there have been great reviews on it
and many people have caught my intentions on it
And I'm honored to I win this wonderful award today.
Thank you
He sounded like he'd prepared a lot for that tidy speech
Oh really?
Thank you for your speech
You worked as a composer, lyricist, and producer for the whole album
and it took 3 years for you to finish
What was the hardest part during the process?
The hardest part was that I worked on reinterpreting
90's R&B, Soul music in my point of view, like an homage
And I had to do it for all 12 tracks in my album
So while working on my album
I could feel the pain down to my bones
You were looking up like this talking about your pain
Like, "down to my bones"
I can feel how much painful that was
Talking about homage, we can't leave The Quiett out of conversation
You've been reinterpreting old music for your entire career
You've been in those works
Crush is, how should I put it..
Crush is raging with all sub-genres of R&B
He cannot be defined in one style
I believe that is his strength that makes us have even more expectations on his works
I personally think your recent songs
are filled with sounds that make us to be more focused on your voice
You're known as a "voice boyfriend", so I thought "he again melted down fans' hearts"
Then all of a sudden, Excellent..
There was the "Excellent scandal." With that ice cream
That was a fun scandal
What's the story behind it?
Well..I didn't intend it, but they looked similar
The rectangular ice cream and his album jacket
You said it took really long to finish the album
Do you have people you were thankful to, while working on this album?
I have a band called "Band Wonderlust"
I want to thank all members of the band
I also want to thank my mom and dad
"Mom and dad" when we're half way done with our talk
"Mom and dad" is now on your shout-out-to list
Thank you so much, mom and dad
For this album I thought, "Let's do what I really wanted to do"
I focused on including what was stuck, and what had been stuck in my head at that moment
That's how I worked on this album
I feel very comfortable these days
My recent songs are mostly calm and quiet
So now I'm working on exciting, up-tempo songs
I'm planning to work hard in 2020 too
This was 2020 KHA's winner of Best R&B Album, Crush
Thank you
We're already more than half way done with the awards
Now that we've awarded Best R&B Album

This is the cake prepared for you
The winner of Best Hiphop Album: C JAMM All tracks of "KEUNG" are well received for the transformation of music style from that of previous C JAMM's songs
Please give your acceptance speech
Hello, I'm C JAMM
Thank you so much
I'm thankful to God
thankful to my family, my parents
and thankful to all of you
If I'm still in the society next year
I'll try to come back with my music again
Great, I love it.
Have you seen other nominees
Yes I've just seen them
Q. Have you expected to win the award?
I thought I or E SENS would win
But I felt like I would win
You could feel it in your bones?
I thought it would be dramatic if I won
GIRIBOY would feel different, because you two are in the same label
Do you have any words for C JAMM?
C JAMM and I have been together since long ago
since he was very young
He's looks so old now
That's what you wanted to say
We worked together in the room with roaches in it
He's still the same
Seems like he's still working in that room
You're really close friends, based on what you said
It's been a long time we met you on official event. How have you been?
I'm mixing the next album
And I'm working on two albums after that
I stopped drinking 40 days ago
I'd been staying drunk, enough for the people around my to get worried
There was no specific reason for quitting, but I was drinking more and more
It's been only a month, so more than gaining back my health
I'm loosing my health because it's mentally tough
I started suffering visual and auditory hallucination as withdrawal symptoms
I understand. It can happen
I hear the waves in the living room, hear the cars passing by
And I hear my friends talking, but no one's there
As much as I'm shocked, I'm trying hard to stay away from drinking
"KEUNG" is a full-length album for a long time
Did you get pressured or nervous about it?
No, it was nothing like that
It is my first full-length album after I did SMTM 5
After SMTM5, I was listening to random songs and realized
that I don't listen to my own song
I thought, "I won't release a new album until I make music I'd listen to"
So I didn't release any album for years
but I got arrested when I was considering to release an album
And when I came back to the society, things changed
My thoughts and my album were different from each other
I realized I'd expressed bad behaviors as something cool
So I started again from scratch
I wasn't nervous, I was only thrilled about it
What were your thoughts abour "KEUNG", The Quiett?
I'm personally satisfied that he won
This album was the most shocking, in a good way
I thought this album set a new milestone in hiphop scene
I'm very satisfied with the result
What you said to other rappers on SMTM5
"Just do your rap", it was so popular
What is the thing that you most want to say to rappers this year?
Please pray for me
This was 2020 KHA's winner of Best Hiphop Album, C JAMM

This year again, GIRIBOY
Yes, go upstairs then come back
Producer of the Year: GIRIBOY
- Congratulations - Have a seat
The winner of Producer of the Year: GIRIBOY Producer and musician GIRIBOY, who had made his debut in 2011, released the most number of songs among hiphop producers last year
All of his released songs generated buzz and were much loved by the public
Please give your acceptance speech
Thank you
The way he speaks has changed
This seat makes me scared
You're selected the winner two years in a row
How do you feel?
I did nothing in vain
I participated in the project called "Dding"
I worked hard making songs for SMTM
And I made my album too, all of it..
It's nervous to be here
He suddenly became a different person
I'm like getting too much attention
So, "I did nothing in vain"
All your works are the reason for your winning
You had been very active throughout last year
How many songs did you work on?
About 60 songs
I recently got promoted to a full member of The Copyright Association
I realized I had done lots of work
loads of work
I'd done too much
That said, we'll recite the full list
Full-length, EP, single albums / featuring / SMTM / School Rapper
He has a various list of works
Producing 60 songs is not a easy task
Yes, it is
- It's a long list - Yes, its' long
Among the songs you released last year, what is your favorite?
I put all my effort on all of them
But I'd always wanted to do ballad from long ago
Last year, I wanted to make a legit ballad, setting up the beginner's mind again
So I worked on a song called "Snow Sweeping" very hard
- You wanted set up the beginner's mind again - Yes
I also worked hard on shooting the music video
As we've said a while ago, we can't forget shooting music videos
Then,
We're doing this now, right?
The artist who had worked with GIRIBOY sent a special video
There's a video prepared, should we watch it right now, together?
(Kim Seungmin)
(Jhnovr)
(UNEDUCATED KID)
(minit)
(Coogie)
(BIG Naughty)
(Han Yo Han)
(Yumdda)
(staff's busy hand)
(Someone called me?) Respect To GIRIBOY
They lied that the video is for something else
GIRIBOY's song you want to recommend?
I love the song called "The Time Is Now"
"KISS"
(I just happened to be the featuring artist)
Ppaggue!
"Party People"
Because I composed it
- I'm the composer - And I'm the featuring artist
The song on his first full-length album
called "My Body Is On Fire"
(Satisfied)
For me, "Snow". The beat is sad but cheerful at the same time
There's a song called "Keyboard"
It's really amazing
Hiphop artist who suits with GIRIBOY's music?
I honestly think GIRIBOY himself suits the best
GIRIBOY
It's the best when he does everything by himself
YUNHWAY and Heize
Me
That is...me
(hehehe)
If you price GIRIBOY's songs?
Minimum 3(million? 0.1 billion?) won
I think those are priceless like jewels
Considering the copyright
maybe 100 million won per each?
900 million won
Cuz he told me his account balance is *****
Strit stands for the protection of GIRIBOY's privacy
I just respect GIRIBOY so much
I cannot price them
GIRIBOY, congratulations on winning Producer of the Year
I knew you would win the award
You will be the winner next year, and year after that
Love you!
Congratulations a lot
I admire you!
I've always learned a lot from you
So I hope we could continue working together a lot, so that I can learn more from you
Congratulations!
Congratulations on winning 2020 KHA Producer of the Year
Please keep on producing good music
I'll snatch some of your beats. Congratulations!
It must be very difficult to win the producer award
being a rapper and producer at the same time
Congratulations and keep up the good work! Thank you
Congratulations for the award. S**t I'm a producer too
Ppaggue~
I really admire you
Than you so much for letting me in your records
I think you won the award because you're good at music for real.
I will work hard to follow your footsteps
I thought you would win Producer of the Year
And you really did, congratulations
Let's hang out more!
You worked really hard last year
so won various awards. Congratulations
I will look forward to your great works. Fighting!
(Kid Milli) It's been a long time from your debut
but you continue to reach the top
That fact becomes my inspiration
I'm so thankful for it
and I admire you so much
I really mean it
Congratulations for winning!
Your colleagues sent you touching words
It was heartwarming
It feels like I haven't lived for nothing
Again, congratulations for winning the award two times in a row
You can come back to your seat
This was 2020 KHA's winner of Producer of the Year, GIRIBOY

Label / Crew of the Year Nominee H1GHR MUSIC
Label / Crew of the Year Nominee Legit Goons
Label / Crew of the Year Nominee WYBH
We've look at the nominees for Label / Crew of the Year
- The Quiett - Yes?
The Quiett's face is getting stiffened
I'm getting tired
You look very tired
Ambition Musik and WYBH, that each of you belongs to, are nominated
What did Ambition Musik do last year?
We released countless songs
We recruited new artists
It was a busy year in many ways
How about WYBH?
First of all, WYBH is a crew, not a label
If we try to do something like labels, it ruins the atmosphere
It suddenly becomes serious
So, we are friends who like to hang out and party together
Now, labels and crews are expanding with their own specialties
Are you nervous?
No, not at all
I'm waiting calm for the result
The winner of 2020 KHA's Label / Crew of the Year is
It says here "Their performance last year was amazing". Amazing indeed
The winner of Label / Crew of the Year is
Ambition Musik
Label of the Year: Ambition Musik
The winner of Label of the Year
2016: The birth of Ambition Musik
2018: Recruits ASH ISLAND
2019: Recruits ZENE THE ZILLA, Leellamarz, Way Ched
With the lead of the boss The Quiett, Ambition Musik showed steady growth
Ambition
2020's Label of the Year, Ambition Musik
The great change of recruiting 3 new artists
caused both expectations and concerns to hiphop fans
However, continued work of the members of Ambition Musik
turned fans' worries into acclamations
"METEOR" by CHANGMO topped the music chart
Dingo Freestyle's "Killing Verse" got 10M views
Solo concerts sold out two times in a row
Constant collaboration with Dingo
All led Ambition Musik to the top
Also, many members of the label released full-length album in 2019
including CHANGMO's "BOYHOOD"
ZENE THE ZILLA's "YAMAGKKUN"
and producer Way Ched's "COMFY"
Furthermore, ASH ISLAND's debut EP "ASH"
received great amount of love for its high quality
Leellamarz's "MARZ 2 AMBITION"
was loved by the listeners as much as "ASH"
Especially, Leellamarz's great amount of workload drew attention
He registered 43 songs on streaming sites in 2019 only
and proved the quality of his music
Indeed, Ambition Musik had quickly adapted to internal changes and shown steady growth
They hustled than anyone else in 2019, and that's enough reason to look forward to their next moves
Congratulations! Please give an acceptance speech, each of you.
It was a tough year for every member
So I'll take this award with a light heart
You've restored your smile
I believe we deserve this award
and I want to thank those who are supporting us with love
I could tell that it was our year
When you go back home later tonight
jumping on your bed...
Nevermind
That's dangerous
Wanted to joke around
ASH ISLAND, how do you feel winning the award as a member of Ambition Musik?
Everyone did a great job, indeed
But still, I'm not used to winning the awards
It's really an honor
Those who contributed for this award:
Kim Hyo Eun, Hash Swan, Way Ched, Leellamarz, ZENE THE ZILLA
I, ASH ISLAND
That's it, right?
Everyone, great job
I believe staffs and employees of our company
are all winners of this award
It's a great wrap up! That's the thing you shouldn't forget
You should mention them all
What do you think is the reason that you're awarded Label of the Year
I believe these are the reason
There are these two award-winning artists
and our staffs worked very hard
I don't remember us relaxing during last year
Right. I always wanted to talk about this
Last year, The Quiett..
did himself mixing and mastering for most of the songs released by our company
That means he's really a hands-on worker
CHANGMO, you're an early member of Ambition Musik
Could you boast about your label?
The fact that The Quiett is the president is our biggest pride
I've learned a lot from him
I believe all our members have learned from him too
Aren't you scolding them too much?
ASH ISLAND said a while ago you're his life mentor
I'm not sure why they're keep saying such things
Why would they keep talking about it, then?
I'm not that harsh on you, aren't I?
We're like a family, brothers, and friends
having fun times doing music
Everyone's trying hard to keep it that way
Just for fun, what if Just Music and Ambition Musik have to trade members?
I'll ask this to GIRIBOY too
- Like soccer teams - Oh, like player trade, transfer window
Let's hear from GIRIBOY first
I'll trade Black Nut for CHANGMO
The Quiett, how about you?
I really don't want to let anyone go
I'd rather leave, whatever
Now that you mentioned Black Nut, I got a sudden curiosity
I'm Black Nut's fan too
As you could tell from these two people
everyone becomes a factory manager in our company
Then it might be better for Black Nut to go there
I wonder if he could also set up a factory when he comes to our company
I think we'll be a good match as a duo
Of course
Then instead of CHANGMO, The Quiett is going to Just Music
and Black Nut is going to Ambition Musik
We'll put it that way
This is for fun, everyone
Do you have thoughts about the direction of Ambition Musik's growth?
Our goal is to keep up the good work
I just want all artists in my company to be happy
That's my only wish
You want all artists to be happy and enjoy doing music
Congratulations again
This was the winner of 2020 KHA's Label of the Year, Ambition Musik

My eyes hurt
The lighting is quite strong
You participated as a rapper in "I'MMA DO"
Nucksal participated too
I, Woo Won Jae, Huckleberry P, and many others
You also did mixing and mastering for "BAND"
Oh I did
Between those two songs, which one would you like to get an award for?
Both songs were very popular
As Nucksal would know from experience
I honestly have much special memory about "I'MMA DO"
So I would say "I'MMA DO"
Isn't The Quiett nominated in most of the categories?
I'm somehow involved in many of them
There's a rumor that you're a major shareholder
I apologize if it bothers you
This is under a fair..
Two-years-in-a-row winner knows it
50% by experts and 50% by online vote
It's an accurate result
Then, I will announce the winner
Sponsored by HOPHOPLE and HIPHOPPLAYA
and media partnership with STRIT, 2020 Korean Hiphop Awards
the winner of Collaboration of the Year is
The song I participated very slightly
The song that's also meaningful to me
Yumdda, Deepflow, Paloalto, The Quiett, Simon Dominic's "I'MMA DO"
Producer NOISEMASTERMINSU is also here to join us
Collaboration of the Year: "I'MMA DO" by Yumdda, Deepflow, Paloalto, The Quiett, Simon Dominic
Congratulations, have a seat
The winner of Collaboration of the Year: "I'MMA DO" DAMOIM organized by Yumdda, Deepflow, Paloalto, The Quiett, and Simon Dominic, all born in '84, utilized media platform for its diverse works
This group for temporary project set a new milestone in hiphop scene in the winter of 2019 with "I'MMA DO"
Members of DAMOIM, congratulation
How do you feel winning the award for "I'MMA DO"?
Let's start with Yumdda
Life's f**cking hard, right?
Still we won the award after all
But this kind of stuff don't matter
We're all awesome, and y'all can succeed too, okay?
Ppaggue
Applaud!
Good, good
Thank you for your love towards "I'MMA DO"
I honestly cannot describe how thankful I am for this award
And those who participated: Nucksal, Huckleberry P, Woo Won Jae, Kim Hyo Eun
and Dingo Freestyle, thank you so much
First, I want to thank Dingo
All started with a song Minsu gave us
It's a song we worked on, perhaps, playfully
so I didn't know it would make such good result
Now I've won the awards for songs twice
One for "I'MMA DO" and another for "Jak Doo"
I guess "DO" is my lucky word
- He'd been making that up from long before - No I just came up with it
He'd made that up at home
You were planning to say, "I'm Ryu Sang-DO"
Sang-gu DO
He'd made up three jokes for today
Then, Minsu?
I'm glad that the song produced a successful result,
although it is the first song that let people know of my name
I'd like to take this opportunity
to thank Dingo, DAMOIM, and all featuring artists
You should also thank them individually
There's no need to scold him
enough, enough
Paloalto, please tell us how you feel
I appreciate it so much
We had no idea that this song would be this successful
Thank you for your love
FYI, the part of the lyrics "Palo will have a children, perhaps"
does not correspond with my plans, so don't look forward to it
Life doesn't necessarily goes with the plans
Anyways, Dingo contributed a lot to this award
Great work, all staffs of Dingo
Please continue to listen to this song when you feel down, thank you
DAMOIM indeed was very active
So we've prepared, DAMOIM's activities last year
Yumdda, Deepflow, Paloalto, The Quiett, and Simon Dominicm, the rappers all born in '84
gathered for Dingo Freestyle's "DAMOIM" project
That's so long ago
The project's second song, "I'MMA DO"
was released last year on December
During the shooting, they extemporally
came up with a heartwarming carol
AND
the unexpected craze
December was the month of "I'MMA DO"
Lots of parodies and song covers were made
It topped the music chart like its lyrics
So we present, the story of "I'MMA DO"'s birth
(DAMOIM's pre-meeting)
Hey, how about producer?
NOISEMASTERMINSU was fairly selected under a blind test
DAMOIM's trip to Taiwan with a charter flight
I've made one while you were on shooting
Minsu let DAMOIM hear his work
With freestyle rap on another level
"I'MMA DO"'s chorus was completed on the spot
Then, with lyrics filled with everyone's wish
"I'MMA DO" was completed for real
Should we just invited more friends?
Featuring Nucksal
Featuring Woo Won Jae
Featuring Kim Hyo Eun - Hye, Hyo Eun. We're making a song
You can't include something like "b**ch" in the lyrics
Santa's carol --> Satan's carol
Hyo Eun doesn't get along with the world
Lastly, featuring Huckleberry P
The words from Buddha
The hard works of all these people
gave birth to "I'MMA DO"
No one knew that it would be successful this much
(seriously no one knew)
(The Quiett considering <chart #1> pledge)
Oh right!
Now I remember
Bungee jumping with CHANGMO
(well, almost) - I seriously can't do this
Spicy rice cake giveaway
Street concert long awaited by fans
100M-won donation for children suffering cancer
We'll top the chart, perhaps
Dingo X DAMOIM "I'MMA DO"
That reminds me of old memories
It was a perfect drama, with the donation at the end
This video is made and shared by Dingo
Aren't people resigned from Dingo here now?
Yumdda changed this show from awards ceremony to something else
What are your thoughts on the video?
It reminds me of old old memories
We were all exhausted during the shooting
but it was worthwhile as lots of people loved that show
And watching that video, I thought
it'd been a great decision to donate our money
It was a heartwarming end
Although everyone worked hard
who do you think is the member contributed the most?
Who took lots of troubles physically is The Quiett
All the time, the one who brought together
all our recorded sound sources
and did mixing and mastering is The Quiett
Yumdda was keep doing
No, no
A while ago
That meant "all of you"
It wasn't a sign of disagreement
You, who's watching this
Who was the first member to realize?
Realize what?
A wish
A wish? Among us?
Wishes in the lyrics of "I'MMA DO"
Oh, like "Sang-gu's hair will grow"?
Sang-gu (Deepflow)'s wish can never be realized
It's not that bad
Science and technology is keep being developed
Paloalto doesn't have a kid yet
Did The Quiett buy a car?
He doesn't know..
I signed a contract but don't know when I'm getting it
- Minsu corresponds the most with the lyrics - Yes, Minsu
Look at him
Minsu is now the most successful
Many of you have realized your wish
Congratulations again

The winner of Artist of the Year: Yumdda Yumdda made his debut in 2006 but hadn't stepped into the spotlight for long
Last year, he utilized various kinds of media to show his talents and cheerful personality
He also created a new slang, which helped him to easily approach the public as a hiphop artist
It's a nice wrap-up, Artist of the Year: Yumdda
S**t of course that's me
The thing that shouldn't happen is happening
Congratulations a lot
I believe this award is meaningful to Yumdda
Please give your acceptance speech
Can't believe I'm doing the acceptance speech
You're Artist of the Year
I've never won any awards, this is my first time
But as I win Artist of the Year as my first award
I feel all those times I worked hard by myself
were not in vain
Honestly music never brought me a fortune, but I kept doing it
And no one has acknowledged me as a musician
But I feel like I'm achieving recognition of the world through this award
This award reminds my of my past
I will proudly put this award at home
I want to show this to my father who passed away
My father's dream was to win Nobel Prize
He passed away without realizing his dream
This award might be a tiny achievement compared to it
Anyhow, I was determined to work harder after he passed away
I believe that helped me to come this far
I'm trying to fulfill my father's dream that he couldn't fulfill.
I think this is my first step, so I feel really great
and happy. Ppaggue!
I think "ppague" is amazing
We can say "ppaggue" when we don't know how to end the sentence
When you start to get embarrassed
Yumdda stayed very active last year
How was your 2019, Yumdda?
I couldn't really count the days in 2019
It was hectic
People here would know. We all worked together
I was focused on doing more things and moving ahead
So I don't remember
He actually has a terrible memory
It's actually because your brain capacity is full?
I have low IQ
It means he was busy that much
Yumdda was a symbol of drama and hope in 2019
He had a positive energy
I believe that is why he was supported by many people
Yumdda, what do you want to say to your fans?
I was wearing G-SHOCK exactly 3 years ago
But look, the combination of gold and silver
Rollie rollie~
Look, diamond right here
Right here
And look, I'm not joking around
SUCCESSFUL MAN
What next?
You guys can do it too
He couldn't find more
Because I did it, you guys can do it too
I always say this, but guy like me did it
Everyone in this world can succeed
PPAGGUE
Again, congratulations a lot
The honor of 2020 KHA's Artist of the Year went to Yumdda
This will be the end of the show
GIRIBOY and The Quiett, thank you for joining me as hosts
Please give lots of love and support to Korean hiphop
Korean Hiphop Awards 2020
Good work, The Quiett, GIRIBOY, and Nucksal
Yumdda ruled 2019
Ppaggue!
Coming up next: special video of Artist of the Year, Yumdda
Q. A person who first comes up in mind My dead father is the first to come up in my mind
I feel like he's watching me at this moment
Life is f**king hard, right?
Still I got rich
Become a great man like myself here
Ppaggue!
