[Originally written for feature on the UnitedKpop website! Read it here]G-Dragon and T.O.P are best known as the main rappers from one of the biggest idol groups on the K-Pop scene today – BIG BANG.
T.O.P established his acting career quite a few years ago and managed to make his mark despite his idol status. Meanwhile, G-Dragon has become the model for so many different advertising campaigns you can barely count them and has found a enormous level of success pursuing his solo career.
It seemed that the pair wanted to pursue a slightly different sound to BIG BANG for a while; they began to fully embrace the Hip-Hop genre they love so much, adding their own flavour resulting in that self-titled “Ghetto Electro” sound they are now synonymous with.
Was it worth it or should they remain within the comfortable parameters of their original group?
