GK has returned with his second EP album, [G.Race].
If his first EP, [G.Round: Pre-Debut EP Album], demonstrated his ambition to create his own turn (G's Round) starting from the ground, [G.Race] is an album that captures the race (Race) GK actually began afterward, along with the grace (Grace) received during that process.
In this album, the 'Race' he speaks of does not merely refer to a race to reach the summit faster than anyone else. It encompasses the burden and anxiety felt in a life where one must constantly run, the pressure regarding money, emotions concerning relationships and love, and even the moments when one sometimes no longer wants to push through. GK has honestly captured the time he is currently going through within these five songs.
GK currently leads JJ Music Group, personally managing not only his own artistic activities but also music production, A&R, artist development, and various music projects. His life, navigating between the stage and the world of music production and artist discovery while running a company, is naturally woven throughout the album [G.Race].
GK participated in writing the lyrics and composing all the songs on [G.Race], and also personally handled the vocal directing and recording for all of them. Longtime musical partner SINGKI, along with REDIC and Ruiz, participated in the production, while HANSE, OMEGA X Yechan, and JinE participated as featured artists, adding different colors to the stories of each track.
This album draws closer to the actual time GK is living as an artist and producer. Rather than showcasing success, he recorded the emotions he faced during that process through music, without hiding them.
This is G's Race. [G.Race]
01. Don't try too hard
Don't Try So Hard
"Don't Try to Be Strong" is a song that reverses the common comfort of "stay strong." Rather than telling someone who is already holding on enough to muster up strength again, it offers the comfort that it is okay to do nothing, at least for today.
02. Because of Money (feat. HANSE) TITLE
Money on My Mind (feat. HANSE)
'Because of Money (feat. HANSE)' confronts the weight of a realistic life head-on. It portrays the image of a person who cannot sleep because of money and must keep running because of the responsibilities they have to bear, using GK's signature straightforward language. HANSE participated in both the lyrics and composition, expressing the pressure and thirst for reality through their distinct vocal colors.
03. I Guess This Is the Best (feat. Yechan of OMEGA X)
Guess I Did My Best (feat. Yechan of OMEGA X)
'I Guess It's Your Best (feat. Yechan of OMEGA X)' tells the story of a relationship that doesn't go as planned despite having done one's best. It is a song where resignation and lingering regret coexist, reflecting the feeling that one has done everything they could, and the participation of OMEGA X's Yechan as a featured artist further deepens the emotional depth.
04. It's Okay to Cry TITLE
Tear is Nothing
"It's Okay to Cry" most directly demonstrates the comfort this album aims to convey. It tells those accustomed to pretending to be okay that they don't need to hold back their tears, choosing a method of quietly staying by their side rather than offering grandiose consolation.
05. Not Yet (feat. JinE)
Not Yet (feat. JinE)
"Still (feat. JinE)" lightly refreshes the album's weight. It is an easy-listening track that captures the excitement of wanting to keep approaching someone you like, even while knowing it is still a bit too early, and having to tell yourself "whoa whoa" just by seeing their face because your heart races. With the addition of JinE's vocals, it brings the album to a bright and refreshing close.

지케이(GK)가 두 번째 EP 앨범 [G.Race]로 돌아왔다.
첫 번째 EP [G.Round: Pre-Debut EP Album]을 통해 바닥(Ground)에서부터 자신의 차례(G's Round)를 만들어가겠다는 포부를 보여줬다면, [G.Race]는 그 이후 실제로 시작된 지케이(GK)의 레이스(Race), 그리고 그 과정에서 받은 은혜(Grace)를 함께 담아낸 앨범이다.
이번 앨범에서 그가 말하는 'Race'는 누구보다 빨리 정상에 도착하기 위한 경주만을 뜻하지 않는다. 계속해서 달려야 하는 삶 속에서 느끼는 부담과 불안, 돈에 대한 압박, 관계와 사랑에 대한 감정, 그리고 때로는 더 이상 힘내고 싶지 않은 순간까지. 지케이(GK)는 자신이 지나고 있는 시간을 다섯 곡 안에 솔직하게 담았다.
지케이(GK)는 현재 JJ Music Group을 이끌며 아티스트 활동뿐만 아니라 음악 제작, A&R, 아티스트 개발과 다양한 음악 프로젝트를 직접 전개하고 있다. 직접 음악을 만들고 아티스트를 발굴하는 동시에 하나의 음악 회사를 운영하며 무대 안팎을 오가고 있는 그의 삶 역시 [G.Race] 앨범 곳곳에 자연스럽게 녹아 있다.
지케이(GK)는 [G.Race]의 전곡 작사 및 작곡에 참여했으며, 전곡의 보컬 디렉팅과 레코딩 역시 직접 맡았다. 오랜 음악적 파트너인 SINGKI를 비롯해 REDIC, Ruiz가 프로덕션에 참여했으며, HANSE, OMEGA X Yechan, JinE가 피처링으로 참여해 각 트랙의 이야기에 서로 다른 색을 더했다.
이번 앨범은 아티스트이자 프로듀서로 살아가는 지케이(GK)가 실제로 지나고 있는 시간에 더욱 가까이 다가가 있다. 성공을 보여주기보다는 그 과정에서 마주한 감정들을 숨기지 않고 음악으로 기록했다.
This is G's Race. [G.Race]
01. 힘내지 마
Don't Try So Hard
'힘내지 마'는 흔히 건네는 “힘내”라는 위로를 반대로 뒤집은 곡이다. 이미 충분히 버티고 있는 사람에게 또다시 힘을 내라고 말하기보다, 오늘만큼은 아무것도 하지 않아도 괜찮다는 위로를 건넨다.
02. 돈 때문에 (feat.HANSE) TITLE
Money on My Mind (feat. HANSE)
'돈 때문에 (feat.HANSE)'는 현실적인 삶의 무게를 정면으로 바라본다. 돈 때문에 잠들지 못하고, 책임져야 할 것들 때문에 계속해서 달려야 하는 사람의 모습을 지케이(GK) 특유의 직설적인 언어로 풀어냈다. HANSE가 작사와 작곡에 함께 참여해 서로 다른 색의 목소리로 현실에 대한 압박과 갈증을 표현했다.
03. 최선인가봐 (feat.Yechan of OMEGA X)
Guess I Did My Best (feat. Yechan of OMEGA X)
'최선인가봐 (feat.Yechan of OMEGA X)'는 최선을 다했음에도 마음처럼 되지 않는 관계에 대한 이야기다. 자신이 할 수 있는 모든 것을 했다는 체념과 미련이 공존하는 곡으로, OMEGA X의 Yechan이 피처링으로 참여해 감정선을 한층 깊게 만들었다.
04. 울어도 돼 TITLE
Tear is Nothing
'울어도 돼'는 이번 앨범이 전하고자 하는 위로를 가장 직접적으로 보여준다. 괜찮은 척하는 것에 익숙해진 사람들에게 눈물을 참지 않아도 된다고 말하며, 거창한 위로보다 조용히 곁에 머물러주는 방식을 선택한다.
05. 아직은 (feat.JinE)
Not Yet (feat. JinE)
'아직은 (feat.JinE)'은 앨범의 무게를 가볍게 환기한다. 아직은 조금 이르다는 걸 알면서도 좋아하는 사람에게 자꾸만 다가가고 싶고, 얼굴만 보면 마음이 앞서 스스로에게 “워워”를 외쳐야 하는 설렘을 담은 이지리스닝 트랙이다. JinE의 목소리가 더해지며 앨범의 마지막을 밝고 산뜻하게 마무리한다.
