Seoul System

The Seoul System team brings you a series of special interview shows, giving you direct access into the Korean Hip-Hop scene. This is the first in a series of interviews recorded late summer of 2009. This week features a special two-parter with the underground, MC Jazzy Ivy. Music by Jazzy Ivy and others are presented, as he talks about his music, his influences and the Korean Hip-Hop scene today.

It's a new season at Seoul System - Seb and Kwon are back from their break and they play some of the best new music they've been listening to over the Autumn, including Tracks by P'Skool, Supreme Team, Pinodyne and Soul Company.

Kwon and Seb are in danger of alienating the international listeners by somehow talking about BBC cricket, Marmite and So Solid Crew instead of Korean Hip-Hop. Fortunately E.Via asks the question, "Please, can I do it?" and other music this week features a track from Drunken Tiger's latest album as well as Koonta and Nuoliunce, 246, Soulstar and Vitality.

The Seoul System team commemorate their show 10 landmark by...forgetting it. But the music is not forgotten featuring Baechigi, Kero One, Kebee, and Pento.

Show 8 features a special shoutout to a fellow OpenAir show, Dub Station, with music from M&A, Junggigo and Fana.
