Fantrie Artist #8. Street poet, rap professor Bliss
Following the last post, the creator I will introduce this week is also a person who is still actively working and trying various things with music as a lifelong career.
There are many famous people in Korean hip-hop history, but if you ask me to name a team that has a special meaning among them, it is ‘The Poets of the Street.’
Today, I'm going to introduce you to a rapper named Bliss, who joined ‘The Poets of the Street’ team in 2011 and is currently a professor who teaches rap theory and practice while working in a school as well as a YouTuber with 16.6 thousand subscribers.
#1. Bliss
The definition of Bliss is 'the greatest happiness, the great joy that will never come again'.
Even ordinary people worry a lot about naming their nicknames. It is because their real name since childhood is not made by themselves, whereas their nickname which is to be revealed and called in public is entirely their own.
In this regard, the rap name Bliss is a clear example of what the value one pursues in music and life is.
Bliss (hereinafter referred to as Bliss) also released a song that he worked with Jung Sang-soo, another rapper who is also active in Fantrie.
#2. Music
Unlike the image that people think of Jung Sang-Soo, his music and lyrics have no dis or slang. Bliss's participation as well focuses on being faithful to the basics and moving the listener's heart rather than emphasizing the provocative part.
Only a few days ago, on May 5, Bliss released an interesting work.
It combines hip-hop and opera.
It's a song called "Bloom Up".
In this song, Kim Min-sung, who became famous for his unexpected baritone voice in a TV program called "I Can See Your Voice," and rapper Jung Sang-soo, who had been interacting with him, collaborated.
It is a song with a message to rise toward dreams and hopes, and the song successfully achieved a crossover between the opera and rap.
The mixture of two completely different and heterogeneous genres needs a wide understanding of both genres, and without a solid basic knowledge of each genre, no certain results will come out.
In this song, hip-hop and opera were successfully combined to create synergy.
#3. Rap Trainer, Rap Professor
Bliss is an active musician and a professor who teaches rap in the faculty.
Various methodologies that have become a trend in Korean hip-hop scenes these days, and high-level skills that make you dizzy just by listening to them, are meaningful in themselves.
However, such application has its meaning only when it is on a solid foundation.
Bliss is the musician who has accumulated theory and practice together as he began to study professionally, and he is also a mentor who knows better than anyone else how to learn and teach to become a good rapper.
It is never an easy path that someone must go through, but not many people do, in that it creates a soil for domestic hip-hop scenes to grow by teaching someone with such analytical talents and creating conditions that are faithful to the most important basics.
Visit Bliss’s Fantrie and give him a lot of support for his future activities. :)
