pH-1’s latest LP, “BUT FOR NOW LEAVE ME ALONE,” continues to tell the story of the artist taking the dim-lit road in search for security. Centered on breaking the bright and vibrant perception that fans have of the Korean-American rapper, the album consists of 13-tracks, each masterfully pieced together by his own raw experiences. Out today via H1GHR MUSIC, the heavy-hitting album and accompanying music videos are meant to be provocative yet preserving pH-1’s original style and flavor.
“Me and my bad, bad homies. Doin’ bad, bad things,” pH-1 boldly proclaims in his single released last month, “MR. BAD”. Funneling all the bad habits like partying, drinking and hanging out, the album tackles on an unfamiliar side of the artist. Along with MR. BAD, the project is accompanied by a music video for, “YUPPIE TING,” featuring Blasé, a forerunner of the K-drill scene. Other standout features include his long-time friend and producer, Mokyo, for the fan-favorite track, “SHRINK TOLD ME,” and UMI, the neo-soul and R&B-inspired singer, for “JULIETTE!.”
