So we've had a list of the best 4th Gen rappers, which consisted of mostly 'bigger' and 'popular' groups, but I thought we could also give the underdogs their deserved spotlight too. A little disclaimer before we go into the list; it was hard to distinguish which groups are... super underrated, or they're just kind of popular but need more push.
DKB GK
He's not even my bias in the group, but I can always instantly recognize his voice because of its uniqueness and coolness. His deep voice and very swag attitude make him such a fun rapper to listen to!
TNX Hwi
If you don't know THE EUNHWI from TNX, you should change that. He is one of the 4th generation's gems. He's not only a genius in producing amazing songs (he wrote all of the songs on their latest album!), but he also has the coolest rap tone and voice ever.
KINGDOM Mujin & Chiwoo
It's a vocal cover video, but it also showcases their rap. If you're not a fan, you wouldn't even know that these two are the rappers of their group. They have such calming vocals but also a solid rap.
E'LAST Wonhyuk
If you're a fan of Yonezu Kenshi, you can probably agree that he did this song justice with the cover. His voice fits so well; he is the group's main vocalist AND RAPPER. No wonder he could pull off that high note so effortlessly.
MCND Castle J, Win, & Bic
It's surprising how the world hasn't gone down in flames yet with the fire they're spitting. Castle J has a unique and cool flow, Bic has a fun and dynamic rhythm, while Win just goes straight up HARD.
Just B DY
With 4th gen groups, there are no specific roles given to each member, as everyone can do everything. Dy is not only the group's main rapper, dancer, and vocalist (basically everything, right?), but he also wrote this song himself! He's literally so good at everything he does.
TAN Jiseong
Jiseong may be young, but he knows what he's doing. He is known to be an outstanding rapper and knows how to play with musicality in his delivery.
BAE173 Nam Dohyon
Ever since his pre-debut days, as he competed in the survival show, Produce x 101, he is known to be a musical prodigy. Not only does he have a solid rap with an incredible flow, but he also composes and produces songs too!
Ghost9 Kangsung
He may look small, but he's a feisty one. He has such a strong and powerful rap, and his stage presence is also no joke.
ATBO Bae Hyunjun
Maybe because he's always sweetly smiling while performing, but he makes his rap sounds so fresh. It's fun to hear!
OnlyOneOf Mill
Something about his rap always gives you an adrenaline rush. His powerful, intense, and solid rap definitely proves why he was on Genius Korea's K-Hip Hop chart! If you want to listen to more of his raps, go check out; "A song of ice and fire." "Tear of god," and "Designer."
TEMPEST Lew & Hwarang
These two have entirely different rap styles, but they complement each other so well, it makes their performances always so fun to watch! If you're not a fan yet, I'm sure you'll be adding a new group to that playlist!
Really happy to see MCND, DKB, and OnlyOneOf here. Thank you for adding them~
