Before you skip this post, put your trigger index finger on pause and read this post. Mad Clown and San E are innovators within the Korean music space… developing the Hip-Hop/ Rapping genre in that country. While the videos and songs are in Korean and have a HUGE fanbase in Korea, these two men (they aren’t kids) speak fluent English who have lived in the US for large chunks of time (one was born in Georgia!). They have been educated in the US and their music is making a big impact on the substantial Korean population in the US.
Korean superstar Hip Hop artists, Mad Clown & San E, have announced their highly anticipated, We Want You North American tour that began in Atlanta.

They will be touring in major cities such as Toronto, Chicago, NY, LA ending in North Carolina in early May.

I really like what I saw & heard in the videos. San E and Mad Clown have a synergistic approach when working together and yet their music is soooooooo good when heard as solo works. I love their sounds.. and their videos are interesting presentations of their stage personalities.
NB: Wonder how long before they hit the Coachella Circuit? That would be amazing
They are playing
