[INTRO]
I continue as I dream of living on the riverside
If this is a joke, then this moment is a waste of my time
I don't just talk since I'm not an easy person
Listen up and from now on, I'm going to start in introducing myself


[VERSE 1 - REDDY]
My pants continue to sag beneath my bottom
No one knew that I'd survive 
Where did all the kids who looked down on me go?
Don't ever say you're pursuing hip hop while staying dressed like that wherever you go
I'm a Seoul native and I'm momentarily avoiding the showers
Don't be disappointed now. I'm dead?
I haven't even started yet as I have a long way ahead of me
At first, I'm flying towards the envisioned dream inside my head
Who knew that I'd become friends with B-Free
Mister P was the first voice I listened to when I was in the military
Just a few years ago I was standing beneath the crowd and now I'm on top of this small stage
The ratio to my protein is 9:1 of effort and talent
I continue to raise my dreams as people continue to talk behind my back
No matter how much you talk, it just hurts your mouths; your words merely tickle me
In the house that oversees the river, you'll see by the people that gather around of how I'm living my dream so come and fight me whenever


[HOOK]
I continue as I dream of living on the riverside
If this is a joke, then this moment is a waste of my time
I don't just talk since I'm not an easy person
Listen up and from now on, I'm going to start in introducing myself


[VERSE 2 - KID ASH]
Killer whales on the fuckin beat
We're the Moby Dick cruising on the ocean floor beneath
We're careful unlike you guys that get swallowed in the ocean waves suddenly
Your music isn't acknowledged as it's just humorous like comedy
God is always fair and He ended your life
It's too late for regrets and you can't turn back time
The ocean scent started to spread and we're killer whales
You row your boats; we did it right while you did it through boats
Since you guys are sloppy with your work, you miss opportunities
It looks like your opportunities, your turn, the anticipation built up of you, and your future are all going to fly away
What are you so confident?
You're so dim and frustrating. We should take this chance to drive away all the people who can't succeed. Maybe then you'll know and be tense
Whose turn will it be next? Focus, you fool
I can never relax as the blood I sweat is worth the price of the house on the riverside
Now it just the beginning, the very, very beginning
I start from the ground up and int he end I'm going to buy that house on the riverside

I continue with the dream of living on the riverside


[VERSE 3 - REDDY]
The more you're in a rush, you keep spinning but I've already spun around once
Although I've done this for 2 years, there's no rings on my fingers
I know better than anyone else that I'd do well
I don't have to talk since those who see me will say it first
The earnings through my sweat will turn into a festival for us tomorrow
Let's pop champagne bottles and give a toast
I wear my Bakley Posite and walk on this hard road ahead
'Sir I'm not a role model' is written beneath my feet
Even if I make a lot, I wear what I wear
I won't wear hats with eyes and ears hanging off of them even if you told me to 
Even if the changes to tomorrow, my attitude won't change
Even if you gathered us up in a well, we're like the Pacific
You can try to copy us but you can't
Although we're Seoul, like Lotte, the giant New Seoul is our neighborhood
Here we make money and play; while my starting point was a little late, I'm still faster than you soaring with the Hi-Lite you dreamed of
I'm a player just like Usain and my house address is 'dreams come true'


[HOOK]
I continue as I dream of living on the riverside
If this is a joke, then this moment is a waste of my time
I don't just talk since I'm not an easy person
Listen up and from now on, I'm going to start in introducing myself

B-Free expected to release his 2nd official album "Hope" on the 12th

After two long years since his first album "Freedumb" released in 2010, B-Free is finally knocking on doors with his second album in hand, "Hope."

It's been a busy year for majority of the artists in Hi-Lite Records, Paloalto working with Evo, Huck P working with Suda as the project unit "Getbackers," and rookie-of-the-year Okasian constantly collaborating with other artists in putting out singles, claiming the title as possibly the busiest artist in Hi-Lite this year.

But it doesn't mean B-Free hasn't been slacking around either. For as long as I remember in following him on Twitter, he's always been working on this new album and even faced some struggles through it. Wait, struggles?

On average, majority of rappers/emcees "produce" their songs in the aspect of composing their own lyrics and rearranging them, not the actual beat as they leave that to the producers to handle but according to the report by Hiphopplaya, it seems that B-Free produced a total of 8 tracks on this album himself, most of which he co-produced alongside producers such as Vida Loca and Kimparkchella.

With the album being titled "Hope," B-Free said that he hopes this album can become a message to those facing hardships in giving them hope, like it did for him during the times he worked on producing the album despite the complications.

What's also unique is that as one of the activists for the #stopdumpingmusic campaign, B-Free decided not to release his album through the major Korean music websites. This is a critical factor in terms of an artist's income but he made a good point when he brought it up on Twitter saying,

"I opposed the flat rate system for music downloads on Korean music sites. This is also why you won't be able to purchase my album via the flat rate system. I put my everything into this album and if you're a true fan, you'd purchase my music to listen to it." -B-Free's Twitter

It's a very, very bold move and I give him all the applause because despite other artists campaigning for #stopdumpingmusic, they haven't taken this drastic step to truly go against the system, even if it means that it'll affect their income (not that artists make much income from music websites anyway).

Pre-orders have already begun on Hiphopplaya and it looks like the album itself is expected to release on the 12th. B-Free will also start kicking off his comeback with a double concert "B-Free and Okasian" at Rolling Hall in Hongdae on the 21st.
