Korean hip-hop legend Tiger JK announced Friday that in a week he will reveal a prereleased song from his upcoming new album that will be his last under the name “Drunken Tiger.”
Drunken Tiger is the name of his hip-hop duo with DJ Shine that debuted in 1999. Even after his bandmate left in 2005, Tiger JK continued releasing new tracks under that name.
