Composed of three members, Tablo, Mithra and DJ Tukutz, Epik High is a hip-hop group with a perfect format of two MCs and one DJ. Their music is known to be as lyrical as a piece of literature and at the same time very witty and paradoxical. All three members of the band are singers and song-writers. Starting with composing melodies, the three members are all capable of writing lyrics and song arrangements. With their first album “Map pf the Human Soul†released earlier in 2004, the hip-hop band became popular immediately. Their 2nd album “High Society†was released in October the same year also receiving great response from pop music lovers.
Do we learn to read to receive the lies, To deceive the eyes, from seen between the lines? Yo we use words to raise voice, sticks and stones To sing songs of hate that fill the streets with bones"-MC Tablo
