[khiphop-discussions]

Idk if you know who D.ark is Idk too well myself but apparently the was some drama with him do you know what it was

I think he's a kid or was when it happened

He has a few so let me run down a few of them briefly.

The first I can remember was from after SMTM777 when he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman. She accused him of that but then his side came out and said that the woman was basically asking him for large sums of money he didn't have and other stuff. However, the girl was an adult but D.Ark was still a minor and so people started to look at her weird for even getting involved with D.Ark. They apparently had a conversation, apologized, said it was a misunderstanding and then it went away.

Another one I can remember is that he ended up dating a girl who was 25 at the time but that was a few years back so now she's a few years older. He wasn't really getting crap for this, instead most of the people (at least the ones that I saw) were saying that she's a creep and a pedo cause they got together when he was still a minor.

The next I can remember is the incident with drinking. Apparently he was somewhere with his staff and drinks were around. so when pictures were posted it looked like D.Ark are underaged drinking so people gave him a hard time about that. D.Ark said it was his staff who were drinking. This is the one that happened right before he left P.Nation.

Honestly, I think the first one was kinda bad for his career. He came off SMTM7 looking really good. A lot of people were interested in him cause he was so good. Also the "saimsaim" song was popular and he held his own amongst the likes of Super Bee, Coogie, and Changmo. But after the scandal, he went away for quite a while. It definitely tainted his career for a while.

But another thing is, he's faced discrimination in Korea (according to his posts) so that's an issue in his career as well. D.Ark was born and raised in China for his early years so he's a foreigner. IDK if he even has Korean citizenship or anything like that.

REVIEW ROUNDUP: KHAKII, BLACKPINK & D.ARK

[ALBUM] Khakii - Tide

8.5 out of 10

Glowing with understated charisma that is backed by technical talent and ear for production, ‘Tide’ is Khakii’s most representative body of work thus far that is inimitably cool. Finding a balance between melodies and bars, Khakii’s ability to weave in between grooves and rhythms is so precisely tailored to a point where it sounds effortless and natural. Khakii surfs like no other over ‘Floating’, keeping up without a sweat next to the legendary Tiger JK who brings a fittingly subtle energy to the bouncy production. Taking strides into light psychedelic sounds and even gospel, Khakii continues to challenge himself, and subsequently come out on top with finesse and confidence. ‘Lost’ and ‘Laundry’ on the other hand show that he has no trouble sounding trendy either, but on his own elevated and irresistibly groovy terms.‘Tide’ dials back a bit on the production compared to his more experimental singles prior, but they’re all arranged with depth and texture, providing lush soundscapes for Khakii to do what he does best over them. ‘Tide’ is a tight little EP that really does have it all, without coming up short or compromising on just about any of its many endeavors. Khakii continues to be one of rap’s most eclectic (and unfortunately overlooked) acts today.

[SINGLE] Blackpink - Pink Venom

3.0 out of 10

An event as always, Blackpink make their long awaited return ahead of their second LP, ‘Born Pink’ with ‘Pink Venom’ - which by all intents and purposes is a standard Blackpink affair. Blackpink and their production team are operating on diminishing returns when it comes to this hyper-specific and identifiable template of on-trend pop anthems. Again a slight reshuffle of sounds and textures that are well-worn with a few tastes of something new; scarcely is there any excitement to be found in ‘Pink Venom’ despite its volume and density. ‘Pink Venom’ does come with some Blackpink guarantees, and that is found in the song’s highly polished arrangement and robust performances, especially Jennie’s bombastic opening-verse. The hook is sure to be polarizing; while the bassy synth lead has a catchy groove to it, the refrains don’t do much to complement it diluting the section of any measurable impact. Rounded off with what is easily the most throwaway patented YG-song outro yet, ‘Pink Venom’ is all bark with little to no bite. Having a signature sound is important, and can be something to hold pride in, but when that sound refuses to grow is when it becomes a weakness. Blackpink and co. have shown on numerous occasions that they have avenues they can explore, but their representative sound on their singles has remained stagnant for years now. 

[ALBUM] D.Ark - End of Puberty

4.0 out of 10

D.Ark’s debut full-length album arrives as a very hands-on effort that sees the young rapper expanding his repertoire as a vocalist on a lot of the tracks. Vocally, D.Ark really does bring it for the most part with some solid melodies and emotional moments, but the off-the-shelf sounding production provides often boring backdrops for D.Ark to perform over. Pre-release singles ‘Stay’ and ‘Fallin’ seem to be only songs that bring both the vocals and the instrumentals, the former of which, tackles the popular synth-pop trend with commendably more finesse and soul than most. Lead single ‘1&ONLY’ is a sweet sentiment that D.Ark’s boyish performance nicely conveys, but the production just rings hollow and feels anemically underbaked. D.Ark’s more rap-centric offerings on the latter half of the record are bewildering owing to how dime a dozen they are on almost all fronts. D.Ark’s verses are flashy, but seldom do they have personality and the hooks range from serviceable to downright cumbersome. He has had better showings before, so it’s disappointing to see the noticeable step backwards in this regard. ‘End of Puberty’ is a very uneven experience, but it would be wrong to say that there was nothing worth staying for. Some earworm melodies and strong vocal performances lend to the record being a signal of potential, rather than a realization of it.

REVIEW ROUNDUP: D.ARK, LIGHTSUM & NAYEON

[SINGLE] D.Ark - Stay (feat. Twlv)

7.0 out of 10

Barely eighteen years of age, rapper D.Ark’s career has been eventful to say the least. After a short stay at Psy’s P-Nation, the now independent D.Ark and has been exploring his musicality and his latest effort lands on trend with the synthpop/wave influenced ‘Stay’ featuring Twlv. By all accounts, it’s a rather impressive effort; D.Ark is emotive and surprisingly confident over the lovesick tune, stringing along some great, sticky melodies along the way. Though he is arguably upstaged by Twlv who brings more nuance in his performance, D.Ark is far from being out of his depth as a vocalist here. The bulk of the production is functional, but there are a couple of standout touches on ‘Stay’, like the oscillating lead synths in the hook and outro, which lends a nice bit of texture to the instrumentation. ‘Stay’ is not only D.Ark’s most impressive claim as a vocalist yet, but also stands as one of the true highlights of his discography thus far.

[SINGLE] Lightsum - Alive

3.0 out of 10

With the phenomenal ‘Vivace’ under their belt from last year, Lightsum quickly became a group to look forward to in the ever-competitive girl group market. ‘Alive’ is the girls’ latest release, it takes after ‘Vivace’ in its maximalist qualities, but does so with much less finesse in execution. ‘Alive’ has a lot of ideas jammed into it, and a good few of them feel like solid points to build a great pop song around, but instead ‘Alive’ feels like it takes a kitchen sink approach to the production and songwriting resulting in a rather tiresome listen while imparting little substance. There’s no sense of brevity to be found anywhere, and the hook feels especially sloppy in its construction. The vocal melodies lack direction and is resolved by an awkward instrumental breakdown. ‘Alive’ is a disappointing return for a team capable of putting out something as technically impressive as 2021′s ‘Vivace’.

[SINGLE] Nayeon - Pop!

4.0 out of 10

Seven years into Twice’s career, we finally have our first solo project with Naeyeon’s ‘Pop’, a summery number that is almost entirely driven by Nayeon’s radiant vocal performance. Though her performance is charismatic and energetic, it can only do so much heavy lifting in the face of some lackluster songwriting and trite production. The chorus does have a great, soaring feeling to it, which is where Nayeon truly shines. With a near-nauseating reliance on the ‘pop’ refrain throughout the song and an awkward rap section, ‘Pop’ has a lot of repetition without rhyme or reason. Instrumentally, ‘Pop’ has all the elements for a funky summer anthem but there’s not much in the way of any interesting melodic passages or touches in the arrangement to bring some textures in the mix either. Nayeon does the best with what she’s given on ‘Pop’, as she shines vibrantly in spite of its shortcomings.
