Final Track Playlists

Previously, I've stated how I wanted to separate my trackless based on the 'old Korean Hiphop' and 'new Korean H hiphop' due to the different eras and the sounds of the two. However, as i've changed and developed my j-card design, I decided that I have to change this concept as it will greatly effect my j-card concept design ideas. Therefore, I've decided to change the concept to having the Side A as 'overground' rappers while Side B is focused on 'underground' rappers. 

Side A was decided to be for 'overground' rappers, as they are seen as the popular and more generally known rappers in Korea, where their songs are at the top of the charts and are played in the stress of Korea, earning lottos of money and living a very luxurious life, through public appearances and going to award shows and earning recognition for their work. The songs that I've chosen are songs which have reached the top of the music charts in Korea as well as y very well known artists sculptures has Verbal Jint, Heize and Epik High. 

On the other hand, Side B consists of songs which re y 'underground' artists. Underground artists are often artists who are just starting out, or have been underground for a long time but haven't broke out or had exposure yet (or choose to stay underground). They also often sell or show their work through music websites like Soundcloud and Spotify garnering a small and niche audience; they perform in underground and small niche clubs, selling mixtapes and collaborating with fellow underground rappers as well. They also often create 'crews' making music together in the meantime. The songs on this side of the tape, are some of the most famous songs by 'famous underground rappers' (famous as in the Korean hip-hop scene in general knows them but not the general public), as well as emerging artists. furthermore, if you noticed there are more songs on Side A than Side B, reflecting the idea that overground rappers are more privileged and 'have more' than underground rappers in general. 

I think doing this is a really nice way of reinforcing the concept and idea that I have for my J-card designs and although it will be very subtle on the J-card design it still adds an extra detail and meaning behind it making it much more interesting and impactful, aesthetically as well as conceptually.
