Epik High craft thoughtful tunes with complex lyrics—but not at the expense of nod-your-head beats. The trio of Tablo, Mithra Jin, and DJ Tukutz broke through in 2005 with “Fly,” an inspirational track that brought rap into the Korean pop mainstream. Their lyrics—which often explore tough topics like religion and depression—are the focus, but Epik High are musically innovative as well. Their best-loved bops include the buzzing “High Technology,” the pop-punk jam “Don't Hate Me,” and the downbeat “Happen Ending.” No matter the style, their sincerity remains their signature.
