Description (Translated):
'The proper female rapper on this floor' Slick's first full-length [COLOSSUS]In February 2015, after spitting provocatively on the single 'Energy/Python', "There is only one proper female rapper on this floor", many listeners have been calling SLEEQ a 'proper' 'female' 'rapper'. Various expectations and prejudices converging on keywords have been thrown. After two years of preparation, Slick betrays these expectations and prejudices with their first full-length album, 'Colossus,' and lives up to them at the same time.
“One more name I gave myself, SLEEQ”
In this album, Slick assumes himself as 'Colossus', a monster that cannot be classified and deviated from the standards of the world, and expresses the world's gaze at the monster and his own gaze at the world in a delicate language. draw with
In an irrational era full of hatred of the weak, from self-contempt for the scene where achievement is judged by profit and loss calculations, to self-abasement that comes whenever we discover an ego outside, beyond this, embrace ourselves as we are and pursue a higher level of achievement. From the bottom of the abyss to the top, the narrator of this album shows what kind of existence the self-named 'Slick' is.
“I’m One and Only, more like me than anyone else”
Rather than putting together a 1,000-piece puzzle with a perfect composition, Slick created 'Colossus' by elaborately attaching random Lego blocks together. It maintains tension full of consistency with playfulness and shows capabilities that are not suitable for a debut album. Through this, she does not try to satisfy the obvious form of expectations hanging on her, and presents a unique self standing outside the fence of prejudice.
The music video for the track 'Liquor', which is located at the most dramatic point in the album, depicts the chaos between the self that the world wants and the self that she wants while drunk. Actor Lee Joo-young, who appeared in the short film 'Transfer Student' and Red Velvet's 'Three Wishes' music video, and androgynous model Ember Kim appeared.
In addition, the album's title song 'Stay With Me' features future bass tunes such as 'Empress' and 'Bird' on top of the beat of producer Imlay, who is more famous abroad than in Korea, and slicks and breathing with 'Hey Jude'. Shin Ji-soo, who has been matched, participated in the feature.
Description (Original):
‘이 바닥에 제대로 된 여자 래퍼’ 슬릭의 첫 번째 정규작 [COLOSSUS]2015년 2월, 싱글 ‘Energy / Python’에서 “이 바닥에 제대로 된 여자 래퍼 딱 하나뿐”이란 도발적인 랩을 뱉은 이후, 많은 리스너들은 슬릭(SLEEQ)에게 ‘제대로 된’ ‘여자’ ‘래퍼’라는 키워드로 수렴하는 갖가지 기대와 편견을 던져왔다. 2년여의 준비 끝에, 슬릭은 첫 정규앨범 ‘Colossus’로 이 기대와 편견을 배반하며, 동시에 부응한다.
“내가 내게 붙인 이름 하나 더, SLEEQ”
슬릭은 이 앨범에서, 스스로를 세상의 기준에서 빗겨나 있는, 분류될 수 없는 존재인 괴물 ‘Colossus’로 상정하고, 그 괴물을 바라보는 세상의 시선과, 세상을 바라보는 자신의 시선을 섬세한 언어로 그려낸다.
약자 혐오로 가득한 비이성적인 시대, 손익계산으로 성취가 판가름 나는 씬에 대한 자조에서부터, 겉도는 자아를 발견할 때마다 찾아오는 자기비하와, 이를 넘어서 있는 그대로의 자신을 포용하고 더 높은 차원의 성취를 추구하는 모습까지, 이 앨범의 화자는 스스로 이름 붙인 ‘슬릭’이 어떤 존재인지를 심연의 밑바닥에서부터 꼭대기까지 훑어가며 보여준다.
“난 One and Only, 누구보다 나다워”
완벽한 구도의 명화가 찍힌 1000피스짜리 퍼즐을 맞추기보다는 제멋대로인 레고 블록을 정교하게 이어 붙이는 방식으로 ‘Colossus’를 만들어낸 슬릭은, 여러 신예 프로듀서들이 주조한 다양한 무드의 비트 위에 특유의 타이트한 스킬과 언어유희로 텐션 넘치는 일관성을 유지하며 데뷔 앨범에는 걸맞지 않은 역량을 보여준다. 이를 통해 그녀는 자신에게 걸려있던 뻔한 형태의 기대를 만족시키려 애쓰지 않고, 편견의 울타리 바깥에 선 유일무이한 자아를 제시한다.
앨범 내에서 가장 극적인 지점에 위치한 트랙 ‘Liquor’의 뮤직비디오는, 여성이자 래퍼인 슬릭에게 세상이 원하는 자아와 자신이 원하는 자아 사이를 술에 취한 채 오가는 혼란을 그렸다. 단편영화 ‘전학생’, 레드벨벳 ‘세가지 소원’ 뮤직비디오 등에 출연했던 배우 이주영과, 중성적인 매력의 모델 Ember Kim이 출연했으며, 최근 ‘TRIBEAST’의 뮤직비디오로 놀라운 감각을 보여줬던 Madscene이 연출했다.
또한, 앨범의 타이틀곡인 ‘Stay With Me’에는 ‘Empress’, ‘Bird’ 등의 퓨쳐베이스 튠으로 국내보다 해외에서 더욱 유명한 프로듀서 임레이(Imlay)의 비트 위에, ‘Hey Jude’로 슬릭과 호흡을 맞춘 바 있는 신지수가 피쳐링으로 참여했다.
