San-E is back with new single “Wannabe Rapper“!
In the song, San-E is quick to confront not only fake rappers but the troubling sociopolitical climate as of late. According to his agency Brand New Music, the song confronts problems in Korean society today, including the hip-hop scene, which only seems to follows money and fame.
He begins the track with the lyrics: “It would be nice if I could become a rapper on TV / Having lots of money, lots of women, it looks fun / Parents, the environment, the president, society is to blame / I’m awake, I’m a free citizen, my word is the truth, I don’t do anything wrong, I’m clean.”
The music video is also packed with provocative imagery and has fans already drawing comparisons between “Wannabe Rapper” and Childish Gambino‘s recent single “This Is America.”
