Today's edition of NYSLT is brought to you by Skull & Haha. The old folks out there may recognize Skull from his YG Entertainment days as part of the Stony Skunk duo with Kush, but I'm sure the majority of you know Haha better from his variety outings on Running Man and Infinity Challenge.
Pretty much forming the GD&TOP of Korean reggae, these two have collaborated to release the awesome summer jam of Busan Vacance.
To be honest, it's more like Busan Vacan-C but you know how finicky Koreans are with foreign syllables. Anyway, this MV is one of the best damn examples of how to film an MV in Las Vegas.The whole MV is pretty much Skull and Haha getting crunk in Sin City with random bitches and their reggae swag, all while inviting people to come vacation in Busan. It's hilarious mindless fun that gets even better with all the random cartoony/weed graphic effects, and it totally works with the feel of the song.
Like I said earlier, Busan Vacance is a summer party song through and through. Skull's bits are the only real reggae-ish bits of the song because Haha's parts feel more like a traditional rap (especially as you get closer toward the end of the song) but the way these two play off each other really work well. As it stands, reggae purists will probably shit themselves with rage because of the mainstream crossover, but the rest of us will be too busy jamming out to care.
The only quibble I have with the song is the completely random dubstep dance break that feels really out of place in a party jam, let alone something by a couple of reggae artists, but the MV makes it work by giving the spotlight to Lee Gwang Soo (the actor, but probably better known for his Running Man antics).
Definitely give this song a listen!!
