SUGA from BTS, well-known for his solo work under the moniker Agust D, has achieved a significant milestone with his second mixtape, D-2. The album is the first hip-hop album of the 2020s to achieve this feat, since it has topped the iTunes Worldwide Chart in an astounding 110 rehions.
D-2, which was released on May 22, 2020, represented a major turning point in August D’s musical growth. This follow-up to his 2016 self-titled debut mixtape captures SUGA’s thoughts on his life and the world around him by fusing modern rap with traditional Korean music components.
The album’s reflective themes address current issues while examining contrasts within his personal experiences, and its lyrics are a combination of Korean and English. Daechwita, the first track, demonstrates SUGA’s inventiveness and capacity to cross cultural divides by fusing traditional Korean melodies with a contemporary rap touch.
