Follow Up: Tiger JK DOES leave Jungle Entertainment and takes Yoon Mirae and Bizzy with him

Fuck all y'all who told me that when I wrote up about Tiger JK leaving Jungle Entertainment last time, y'all said he was trolling but guess what? He actually left this time, for good.

I'm a couple of days behind but Tiger JK tweeted a couple of days ago with the words, "No longer with jungle
#FEELGHOODmusic" along with a photo captioned "prison break." The caption seems to be alluding to his slave contract that was holding him back with the label as he's now "free."

No surprise here that he took his wife Yoon Mirae (also better known as Tasha) and Bizzy with him and they even uploaded a video which is supposed to be an introduction to their label with their artists in some artistic form. 

I have nothing to write about this considering the fact that my previous post about him leaving Jungle Entertainment is at stand-still on how he's going to go about his career from now on. I suppose that if I were to raise a new question with how the situation has turned now, it'd be if he's going to recruit anyone else into his label (i.e. Loptimist, producer under Jungle Entertainment who's currently inactive due to serving in the military). Anyway, never really cared for the label or the artists too much and I'm just waiting for Leessang to leave as well.

Tiger JK leaves Jungle Entertainment

For the fans who follow Tiger JK on Twitter, this may be news 22 hours too late. But for those of you who don't, this may be news that I can slap onto my blog to pass as new.

The title of this post is self explanatory - Tiger JK left Jungle Entertainment. Tracking back to his Twitter, he tweeted, "Leaving jungle Ent … free agent !!!" as a means of declaring his freedom from the label he's been under for so long.

Half of me is thinking, "It's finally time he's moved out of Jungle" and the other half is thinking, "So...is he going back to the underground scene?" 

Starting with the first half, I somehow saw this coming. I mean, look at Jungle Entertainment. The only thing that's still keeping them as a running contender is the fact that they have Leessang, in which they're just using Jungle as a safety net for when things go wrong with their actual label, Leessang Company. In other words, Jungle is dead weight trying to drag the "hip hop concept" across the dirt one last time for M.I.B before they realize that no one knows who they are.

Then I start thinking about the other half. Although Tiger JK has built credibility over the years as one of the first rappers from the first generation of Korean hip hop, times have definitely changed. Despite being a "super senior" into the game, the scene is filled with rappers in their 10s and 20s, the ones in their 30s having started in their early 20s. Hip hop has become a trend in our society where sticking your finger up under your nose while you rap with your snapback worn backwards is what makes you half the rapper that you are. The message, deliverance, image, and sound has changed overall and it makes me wonder how he'll step back foot into the scene, if he even will.

Or then I begin to think, will he continue to go mainstream? Then what will happen to MFBTY? And what about his wife Yoon Mirae, who's still under Jungle? Bizzy?

So many questions that won't be answered anytime soon since he tweeted soon after his declaration of independence that he has family stuff to work on, to which still makes me cock my head to the side a little considering he's barely done any form of music promotion (MFBTY barely even counts because no one knew he was back) for the last couple of years.


So...I guess congratulations to him for doing something with himself in lifting off the dead weight, but good luck to your unclear future?
