Bewildered is probably the best way to describe my reaction to coming across “The Green Planet” by rappers Northfacegawd and J-Tong, as they and their crew of environmental gangsters wax poetic about saving the planet over a booming trap beat with a surprisingly catchy hook. Amusingly, it’s less corny than a lot of other attempted trap tracks in Korean hip-hop.
Anyway, I thought it was some kind of government initiative, but no, they are just that serious about conservation. J-Tong in particular has “street cred” on this topic, as he’s literally out there farming himself and sells conservation merch, so all this actually ended up being rather cool.
