Epik High

Epik High is a South Korean hip-hop trio formed in 2002, composed of rapper, record producer, and songwriter Tablo, rapper and lyricist Mithra Jin, and DJ and beatmaker DJ Tukutz. Based in Korea, the trio first met in 2002 before signing with Woollim Entertainment and released their first two studio albums, Map of the Human Soul and High Society. The trio rose to fame with the release of their follow-up studio albums, Swan Songs, Remapping the Human Soul, and Pieces, Part One, spawning the hit singles "Fly", "Paris", "Fan", "Love Love Love", "One" and "Umbrella". Although the majority of these albums were censored by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism due to strong language and themes of crimes, war, religion, and education, Epik High established themselves as one of the leading hip-hop artists in the country, gaining a cult following and critical acclaim. Following the completion of Mithra Jin and DJ Tukutz's mandatory military service and the end of their exclusive contract with Woollim Entertainment, Epik High signed with YG Entertainment in 2012.
