International DJ & producer, DIPLO praises GD&TOP’s talent

American DJ and music producer DIPLO is making headlines in the Korean news for his high praise of Big Bang’s GD&TOP.
DIPLO is widely-known in the club circuit for delivering a vast range of sounds that trespass beyond the constraints of musical genres. Considering how he’s worked with the likes of M.I.A., Santigold, Missy Elliot, and Lil’ Jon, DIPLO’s praise of the GD&TOP unit has brought down international interest upon the eclectic duo.
On January 19th, DIPLO wrote a post on his label’s official blog (“Mad Decent“), which delivered a hype introduction to some of K-pop’s hottest stars. The producer wrote:

“I went to seoul to DJ last year for the first time.. i dont even remember how I met any of the Kpop crew.. but some one i got in touch with someone..”
“i was a super fan of 2NE1.. those girls are killing it.. people dont know that Kpop sort of runs all of asia and now Japan is the main market for these artists.. but everyone of these guys have proper korean and english skills.. so my beat was for some kids in the Kpop crew.. One of the biggest groups is BIG BANG. the sort of nkotb/jayz/mileycyrus and justin beiber all mixed into one act…”
“GD and TOP are the main rappers that go in for verse 3 in every big bang song… but u can tell from GD and TOP.. they are rapper rappers.. not phony.. the have crazy flow. they wear tiny pants on top of tanks talkin about Swag.. these are my favorite new rappers.. so i didnt realize they were a big deal. its just a beat i sent over a couple months back and then the youtube hit and got @mil views in 2 weeks.. kinda swag.. the styling is sooooo much better then US rap its really sad.”
“anyway im moving to Korea now.”

GD&TOP are currently promoting their five title tracks, while preparing for Big Bang’s official comeback.
