D-DAY

Hands down one of the best rap albums from any South Korean artist to date. The production is superb, and don't get me started on the lyrics and themes. You can split this album in two, and you are going to hear two stories connected by one central topic: what we do with pain. First, we can listen to some raw lyrics, questioning today's world and hypocrisy in society, how someone can endure too much pain, how we can still expect future to be OK. In the second part, you hear someone choosing love, calling out people for not being sensible to each other's pain, telling others to never back down even if they have to take a rest, and coming to terms with the fact that life goes on, no matter what. The first time I listened to it, I cried. When I searched for the translations, you can bet I cried harder. I'm so lucky to experience the existence of this album. To listen to it and get comforted by it. Indeed, Future's gonna be OK.
