The Zico Chain

The Zico Chain is a South Korean hip-hop group that formed in the late 2000s as an underground collective. They're fronted by rapper Zico, who handles much of the songwriting. Their 2015 single "All Eyes On Me" brought them mainstream attention, though the Korean hip-hop scene was already crowded and competitive at the time.

Their songs include "Last Week's Genius," "Roll Over," and "Your Favourita Client." Some of their lyrics have drawn criticism for explicit language and social commentary, which sparked debates about hip-hop's role in Korean society. The group includes members like Cho Woo-sik, Penomeco, Choi Hyun-joon, and Bae Yong-joon, who contribute production, rapping, vocals, and performance energy.

They've been described as exploring different musical genres, though their core sound remains hip-hop. Beyond "All Eyes On Me," tracks like "Junk," "Nihilism," and "Preach" show their range. They built a following through live shows and collaborations with other emerging artists in their scene.
