NCT member Taeyong completed an unprecedented hip-hop synergy with intense addictiveness.
Taeyong released his new single Rock Solid (Feat. Anderson .Paak) today (17) at 1 p.m. on various global music platforms. The new track, a collaboration with Anderson .Paak, captures both catchiness and a full hip-hop sensibility.
"Rock Solid" is a hip-hop song notable for its distinctive drum rhythm and repetitive chant sound. Its addictive yet appealing rhythm and sound fill listeners with positive energy. A unique sensibility that draws you in after just one listen adds to its charm.
The song contains a will to firmly protect what he has honed so far and a resolute confidence to continue proving himself without wavering. Taeyong personally participated in the songwriting and composition, assertively putting his own story into the track.
In particular, the combination of Taeyong and Anderson .Paak is very impressive. Taeyong's distinctive vocals and bold rap flow deliver powerful energy, while Anderson .Paak's dynamic flow and characteristic groovy rhythm elevate the mood. The unusual pairing makes the synergy even more appealing. It becomes more addictive the more you listen.
"Rock Solid" is also fun to watch in its music video. This music video wittily incorporates the story of Taeyong's service in the navy. The witty acting, unfolding in unexpected spaces such as a jewelry store, a yacht and a hotel room, is striking. Filmed in a 1990s hip-hop music video style, it showcases an eccentric yet distinctive presence.
After releasing "Rock Solid," Taeyong will release his first solo full-length album in May.
