Music

[edit]

Piri has been described as a South-Korean alternative rapper.[5] His music has been described as Hip-Hop and Contemporary Hip-Hop. [6], and his rap has been described as fast and smooth.[7]

Rap speed

[edit]

Piri has been acknowledged in October 2022 by the YouTuber CarKpop as the 8th fastest Korean rapper on an 8 syllable constant, with his verse in his song Chicken, tied with Changbin of Stray Kids at an average speed of 9.75SPS (Syllable per Second).[8]

In 2023, CarKpop updated his ranking (available here). With an 8 seconds constant, Piri appeared now (thanks to his song Kick Ass),as the 4th fastest Korean rapper, tied with Justhis and Basick at an average speed of 11.25SPS.[9]

Note : the method used by CarKpop to rank the rappers is to choose the fastest 8 seconds of rap he can find from a rapper, and to count the number of syllables pronounced during those 8 seconds, then divide that number per 8 to get the speed in SPS. If we changed the length of the constant, or the method used, we could theoretically get completely different rankings.[10]

Lyrics

[edit]

Piri not always release lyrics along with his songs. Official lyrics may be released in the description of the associated YouTube video or SoundCloud track. Others like Decapitation[11] and 600[12]’s lyrics were only released as subtitles for the YouTube video. Decapitation is even more an exception : only the English translation have been officially released on the YouTube video.[13]

On Genius, only the lyrics for Decapitation are available. The Korean transcription of that song is to this day still incomplete, but the official english translation provided by Piri himself is present.[14]

Communication with fans

[edit]

Piri's only official social networks are YouTube and Instagram. His YouTube channel is entirely dedicated to publishing songs and AMV (animated music videos)[15]. His Instagram is mainly used to promote his new releases.[16]
