Rapper Punchnello will be making his official debut next week, the artist’s management agency HIGHGRND said Friday.
“Punchnello has already established a name for himself in the hip-hop industry from his previous collaborations with artists like Sik-K and Penomeco,” said HIGHGRND, a sub-label managed by Epik High’s Tablo under YG Entertainment, in a statement.

Recently, the musician -- along with rhythm and blues singer Crush -- was featured on Penomeco’s latest single track “For You,” which has received favorable reviews among fans.
Additionally, local online hip-hop magazine HiphopLE nominated Punchnello’s digital mixtape “ROTPOTA” for four of the six categories of its Mixtape Awards last year.
The 19-year-old’s debut single album “Lime” will be available on local music sites from Thursday at midnight.
