Seoul and Namyangju hip-hop label ART—short for ALL ROADS TO—has been quietly earning the attention of Korea’s most discerning hip-hop voices. dioboi and LUFS+ drew praise from veteran rapper The Quiett at the competitive SMGS LEAGUE, while the label’s ‘Amisae sampling’ reel lit up Instagram with 1.83 million views. Now, with ‘ESCAPE’—the lead track from the trap-driven double single ‘TOO COOL TO CARE’—ART steps into a release that channels everything the collective has been building into one unstoppable run.

‘ESCAPE’ hits before the first bar even settles. DOVID’s production fuses trap’s locked-in mechanical precision with boom-bap’s rooted, chest-hitting weight, creating a sound that feels simultaneously disciplined and completely untamed. The cover artwork says it plainly—a dog hanging its tongue out the window of a car tearing through the night streets, all raw momentum and zero hesitation. ART has always moved across multiple sonic territories, from plugg & B to UK garage and house, but here the vision is singular: forward, full speed, and thoroughly carefree.

Seoul’s ART collective turns the reckless energy of youth into a trap-driven sprint that refuses to slow down.

‘ESCAPE’ maps the exact geography of that impulse: the classroom you can’t wait to leave, the 9-to-5 you’ve stopped pretending to care about, and the studio waiting on the other end of the door. dioboi, BINJIPTURY, and LUFS+ share the mic across a track that wears its attitude in every bar—three artists trading verses that feel less like a performance and more like declaration. The collaboration draws on each voice’s distinct energy, making ‘ESCAPE’ feel tightly constructed and effortlessly alive all at once.

DOVID’s role goes beyond the boards. As a member of Emetsound—the hip-hop dance crew behind the viral Jigubangwidae and Go Crazy dance videos—he understands instinctively how music moves bodies and audiences alike. That understanding is woven into every element of ‘TOO COOL TO CARE’: the trap snares that snap, the bass that pushes, the collaborative energy between three artists who have earned their place in the conversation. ‘TOO COOL TO CARE’ arrives June 13—mark the date, and find out what it sounds like when a label decides it’s done waiting.
