Drain K unveils new album 'A' under 'GET ASIAN KRUNK' slogan

Artist Drain K is expanding his musical universe with the release of his new album, 'A'. Centered around the slogan 'GET ASIAN KRUNK,' the album serves as a concentrated expression of Drain K's signature energy and evolving musical identity.

The album's cohesive sound was achieved through a close collaboration with Baybrick, who composed and arranged every track. Baybrick also handled the recording, mixing, and mastering for the entire project to ensure sonic unity, while Drain K solidified his artistic identity by writing the lyrics for every song.

A vast sound spectrum across 12 tracks

The album opens with 'OUT THE MUD (Intro)'. This is followed by tracks such as 'SOUTH SIDE', 'BOTF', 'AY', 'LADY', and 'SHAKE IT', all of which are collaborative efforts between Drain K and Baybrick. Notably, the tracks 'AY' and 'SHAKE IT' feature scratches by DJ D.on, adding an authentic hip-hop texture to the project.

The tracklist showcases a diverse range of collaborations. 'WATCH OUT' features LONE, while 'MAKE A MOVE' includes a wide array of artists such as HENNYBOYS, NOIDEACHILD, Song Gun, Gu Hyeon-hada, Curly, Paydi, dramabo!damovie, and Toastboy. Additionally, GOLDBUUDA joined for 'THROW IT BACK', Double Down contributed to 'GET KRUNK', and Ellie and Jhunnit lent their talents to 'DIP OUT' to elevate the quality of the tracks.

Sophisticated production and instrumental sessions

'DIP OUT', the album's closing track, highlights sophisticated instrumental sessions featuring piano by kyujin, bass by Kim Bum-soo, and guitar by Jo Hyeok. For this project, Baybrick and Drain K served as joint Executive Producers, overseeing the entire process from initial planning to final production.

The album's visual identity was also meticulously crafted. @dial_foto captured the cover photography, @aka_ian_park designed the outfits, and @blane_noah handled clothing production. Styling was provided by @kwonsunghyeon, with hair and makeup by @makothehustler and @aika_hairmakeup. The visual concept was completed by cover model @yeoreumii.zzang.
