This one reaches back more than three decades: Deux, the legendary hip-hop duo, will release a new full-length album, ‘4th Deux’, on November 21, The Korea Herald reported. It is their first album in more than 30 years, following ‘Force Deux’, the last album the pair made together.
The nine-track album will use artificial intelligence to recreate the vocal performances of the late Kim Sungjae, who died in November 1995, one day after his solo debut. Lee Hyun-do led the production of the album and wrote ‘The Future’, one of its two focus tracks. The other, ‘I Want You’, features fellow hip-hop duo Dynamic Duo.
At a pre-listening session in Seoul, Lee described the record as what it would sound like if Deux brought out a new jack swing number and took it one step further.
A portion of the album’s proceeds will go to Kim Sungjae’s family, in line with Lee’s wishes. The official MV for ‘The Future’ is below, ahead of the album’s November 21 release.
