EPEX are a new boy group that started their careers off with controversy thanks to their ridiculous album title and now have released “Lock Down” as their debut single.
Honestly, I was initially surprised when it started off so well with a hard-hitting beat with competent rapping layered over it that seemed show great potential for a hip-hop focused jam. Then the pre-chorus took the wind out of the song’s sails, and the chorus with some wub wub influence killed the momentum dead.
A rare K-pop song that would’ve been better if it was just the rapping and a scratching “chorus” or something.
