He was featured in a number of songs on Epik's "Swan Song" album. (I loveeeeeeee track #13.) I tried to Google him without any luck. Anyone have any information on him?

(Besides the fact that he's fluent in English - I think that's pretty obvious from the album. Thank you, Captain Obvious.)

Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

.__. I wanna know too. He was on track 6 on their album.

He's a nobody. Honestly, he's not even worthing finding information about. Although, my guess is he's one of Tablo's alter egos, just like D-tox. But he sounds pretty authentic. Sorry, wished I could've helped.

This may be late but he's real. He was part of the American indie band Weekend Sesh. He's been on four or five Korean songs. He definitely doesn't sound like Tablo. He was most recently featured on Pe2ny's Celebration. He always sings in English though. Is he American? Since he was part of an American band?

I, too, would like to know more about him?

He is from America. I forgot his name. He was featured on Jiggy Fellaz's Xclusive album too.

Tablo, MYK, and D-Tox are ALL real MCs. The latter two are NOT alter egos of Tablo. Check out Pe2ny's album, the Jiggy Fellaz Compilation album, and electronica singer Mystic Puzzle for MYK featurings. He also featured on Kang Kyun Sung's first album (Formerly of JYP made group Noel).

joke, right?

everyone started as a nobody in the game.

MYK i think was the singer for a band, that's what i remember reading.

I'm making it a personal mission of mine to hunt this man down. Love his lyrics, love his half cocky--- attitude, LOVE LOVE LOVE (harhar). If I find out anything, I'll be sure to post it up on this thread.

Ah I love MYK!
haha
I heard he only does
collaborations

This may or may not be his 'Official Myspace'

MYK Myspace

-flail- For a second, I was like, is this the MYK? Like the MYK that was in Pe2ny's latest album?
Ha. xD And it is. Sweet. Haha.

'Celebration' was my fave song from Pe2ny's album. Sweeet. I'll have to hunt down for some other songs with him in it. xPP


And dooooddddd, he don't even sound like Tablo.

i think you guys will like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoiEHAHXFHI&fmt=18

its a video of tablo drunk but being asked to freestyle. myk was also in it.

^^^

That s%#$ was dope. I liked how they fed off each other's last word(s) and that one line Tablo said about s@#$% knowledge was killah.

uhh yeah...doesn't every artist start out as a nobody?
give the guy some support so he can live out his dream.
and he has a different sound from tablo..................
anyway,
i tooo am interested in MYK
i just saw the video of him freestyling drunk with tablo
and then listened to a few songs like Plan B
i heard he's coming out with a solo album, any info on that?

I heard he was from cali, more specifically, San Franciso...

Solo album in the works? Anyone have info on that?....

I loveeeed MYK's comment about stirring with his ... yeah. Classic.

MYK--an MC, DJ, producer and instrumentalist―is a one-man musical powerhouse hailing from the Bay Area. At a young age, he was the lead vocalist and MC for Weekend Sesh, a local band that specialized in hybrid hip hop. After the band parted ways, MYK moved to Seoul, Korea, where he was introduced to Tablo of Epik High. The two immediately connected and began writing music together. MYK is living in Korea, working on his debut album and also continuing to collaborate with artists in the US, such as Kero One, Jamie Jones of All For One, and Klypso (now an engineer/producer at Aftermath).

haha, yes definitely excited for his album release :]

^ yep keep a look out at http://www.mapthesoul.com and go over to album sales 'cause it's said it the website that MYK's album is "coming soon!" Hopefully we get to hear more of this talented guy ;D

EDIT;
-------- All you fellow MYK enthusiasts and fans <3, myk is currently working extremely hard on his first solo EP! He, being a part of the mapthesoul crew, has a blog at the mapthesoul.com so check it out and his blog is there as well for you to be informed of not only his latest activities, his deep and meaningful insights are up there as well. This guy is truly amazing. So go read about about him and support his upcoming EP - music surely not to be missed.

^ looking forward to that.

Sounds good on Epik's Map the Soul album. 'Free Music' is good and I want to know if it's him singing in 'Scenario' (cause I dunno what else in the song could be him). He should sing more XP

^ Indeed, I was so thrilled to learn that he would be so extensively involved with Mapthesoul album, it really warms me to know he's finally found another comfortable place to settle down and make more incredible music. Yes he is in Scenario and also 8 by 8 part 2, gosh I love it when it's all of them underground mcees together. Powerhouse ;D

Just to keep spreading about this amazing guy, here's an extract from his blog:

back to the drawing board..
3월 26th, 2009

Now that the Map the Soul album is complete, what’s next for me is my ep album. We’re trying to do a million things at once, with upcoming shows and all work involving an album release, except the creation part. The guys must be wondering what I’m up to when I go a day without a phone call or an sms. This week, every chance I get to spend a day at home I’m only doing one thing.. music. I’m starting to put each little piece of an idea together; organizing demos, beats, chord progressions, concepts, lyrics. While picking up instruments I recently neglected and exploring new sounds.

coming to an end of a long night jamming and making beats. going to bed as the sun comes up once again.

FOR THE SHORT VIDEO PREVIEW OF HIS SOLO EP-IN-THE-MAKING.

yeah i agree that there's barely any info on him. i hope he becomes more famous :T
did anyone listen to scenario in epik high's latest album? myk has a great singing voice O.O

i really love MYK ever since i heard him on Pe2ny's album and i'm so EXCITED that he's working on his first solo EP!

he really does have a nice singing voice. on his blog on mapthesoul, he posted a video of himself singing the "Mad World" song. it was beautiful <3
i love his positive lyrics in Celebration

I didn't know he was in Pe2Ny's song and Epik High's album (which one?). The first time I heard him was from the english version of "Map The Soul" which btw I freaking love, its on my myspace HAHA!!

Anyways when I first heard about him I thought he was handsome >< and knew he was talented. But what made me love him is that not only is he from the Bay Area (REPRESENT BABY!) but he is from MOUNTAIN VIEW to be specific. I have been raised in that city 'til now. I also stay in Palo Alto and all them small cities near there where he said he was raised. Its very rare I get to hear someone famous (he is to me lol) say "I am from Mountain View" lmfao it made me spazz out so much ...

Oh, I am so sure you guys saw this, but just in case;;
too bad this account will be deleted soon *cries*

"MYK's pants are like to his knee's" -Tablo [LMFAO!!]

Well love this guy already! I am going to read his blogs now lol <333
THANKS FOR THIS THREAD!

I didn't think much of MYK until I saw him perform at the Epik High World Tour.
I like how he raps and sings.
I like his song Dazed and Amazed.

yeah!
i thought he was great at the MAP THE SOUL tour (saw the SF show)
i loved when he came out by himself with a guitar and did his singing/rapping songs with the beatbox guy - kinda reminded me of matt kearny, but more hip-hoppy

The number 1 has graced the k-underground forum!

I LOVE MYK!!! <3 He is amazing. & Just saw him perform with Epik high at the NewYork concert at Irving Plaza and even got a picture with him and BeatBoxer DG, they're so sweet!! He's working on his solo album and I'm so excited to get it! Not a lot of people may know him right now, but sooner or later, he's gonna make it big. LOVE HIM <33

MYK is amazing indeed. I would be surprised if there was anyone who didn't love him. haha
I can't wait until his album comes out!

omgosh ive been unconsciously loving him since i first him on epik high's swan songs album

His music is Sic!

He was also featured on Penny's most recent album, as well as on the Dynamic Duo "One Penny" remix. Very talented artist

Wow I hadn't been around for quite awhile and was surprised (yet not really) to know he's really celebrated right now!
I wished I had the chance to see MTS live but oh wells, glad to know he's made a great impact on all ;D
If you like him, try to read his blog on MTS, seriously. Because this awesome guy's head is practically a dam
of inspiration and introspective thoughts. <3 MYK the best.

oh and thanks for the photos <3<3 i can add them to my grand collection of only 2 pics.

Celebration is an awesome song. Possibly one of my favourites.

Celebration was one of the only songs I really liked from that album, hahaha. Pe2ny's style just isn't my cup of tea when it comes to production. Not saying he's bad, just not my personal favorite. But Celebration was a very well done song, MYK usually brings solid lyrics, though not always really powerful or inspirational. He's very consistent; never heard him rap on a track and go "what the heck was that?" It's always at bare minimum a mediocre run from him, usually very clean and enjoyable.
