​m.i.a and g-dragon rap on new baauer track temple

Having dropped the controversial video for Borders a month ago, M.I.A is back with fresh verses on Baauer's new track Temples. Not as explicitly political as Borders, which references the refugee crisis, there is still a topical, anti-war message in the Temples lyrics: "Step into my temple and you see me on my throne / Gold on the dome, don't drop that drone".



South Korean rapper G-Dragon, who is a regular on the Chanel front row, also features on Temples, which will appear on Baauer's debut album, Aa, scheduled to drop 18 March. The American producer has worked with a number of other collaborators on the album, including Novelist, Future, Rustie and Pusha T.

Baauer was recently unveiled as part of Alexander Wang's #WANGSQUAD alongside fellow musicians Travis Scott, Alice Glass, Aluna Francis of AlunaGeorge and CL, and models Binx Walton, Anna Ewers, Molly Bair, Issa Lish and more. The #WANGSQUAD campaign is set to drop around the same time as the album, mid-March.

Jeff Bernat Believes G-Dragon Could Succeed in the American Market

Jeff Bernat Believes G-Dragon Could Succeed in the American Market

Jeff Bernat held a concert for two days in Seoul this weekend and sat down with Star News for an interview.

During the interview, he was asked about which Korean artists he thinks would have the best chance at succeeding in the U.S. market. He responded, “Among the Korean artists I know, there are three people that I think who could succeed. One is BIGBANG‘s G-Dragon, who is already very popular.” “G-Dragon is unique. He is different than anyone in the world. He is like Korea’s Pharrell Williams,” Jeff Bernat said.

He continued, “Another artist would be 2NE1‘s CL. She is already popular in the U.S. and known in the world. The last person would be Dean. Dean is always making new music and music that predicts trends. I think that these three artists can succeed big in the American market.”

What do you think? Would G-Dragon be able to go mainstream in America?
