Concept
Initially, it was reported that MC Mong would be making his comeback last December, but it has been postponed until next month. It has been over a year and four months since he released his latest album, 'Channel'. The new LP will mark his 9th studio album in total. Considering the timeline of album releases over the past year, his upcoming album is actually arriving sooner than anticipated.
The rapper hasn't dropped any teasers or previews for his new album and news of it is currently scarce, but if MC Mong's new music is anything like his latest works, fans can expect fierce tunes. 'Channel' also featured a number of guest artists on its tracks, so the rapper is presumably keeping future potential collaborators under wraps. 'Channel' featured popular South Korean acts such as Park Bom, Moon, Suran, Coogie, and more.
