U.S. Billboard Spotlights Dynamic Duo X DJ Premier Collaboration As An Historical Moment

Dynamic Duo has pushed Korean hip-hop to a new level once again.

The hip-hop duo was featured on Billboard for their recent collaboration with DJ Premier.

Dynamic Duo joining forces with one of rap's greatest producers, DJ Premier, is not only incredible for the pair's career, but is a step into bringing hip-hop to South Korea's mainstream music world.

"Although, there has been a number of epic, international collaborations in K-pop, Dynamic Duo's joint venture with trackmaster DJ Premier will stay as one of the most iconic musical moments in Korean music history. . .  so far," wrote the music magazine.

Dynamic Duo was contacted by DJ Premier's manager after their "magnetic, highly energetic set" at the second annual "K-Pop Night Out at MIDEM 2014" in Cannes, France, according to the music outlet. After members Gaeko and Choiza exchanged ideas and lyrics with DJ Premier via e-mail, the three reportedly decided to meet up in Seoul last month.

The pair worked with the legendary producer to release their first collaboration album titled "A Giant Step." The single "AEAO" and "Animal" have been gaining immense attention from both fans and media outlets alike.

The Korean hip-hop pair and DJ Premier held a live showcase in Seoul last week to promote the release of their album.

Dynamic Duo, which debuted back in 2003, paved for the way for Korean hip-hop. Their debut album "Taxi Driver" was the best-selling Hip Hop album in South Korea, according to the Korean publication Naver.

Dynamic Duo has undeniably come a long way since their debut and have continued to be the face of Korean hip-hop. The duo also successfully released "LUCKYNUMBERS" last year, which they performed at the KCON 2013 festival in Los Angeles.

During their most recent showcase along with Premier, Dynamic Duo expressed their full appreciation for being able to perform with the renowned DJ.  

"We built our dream of becoming rappers by listening to DJ Premier. We've never poured out this much energy on performing two tracks. How often would we be onstage with him? You guys are here sharing this very moment with us," stated Choiza after the group's performance.
