Swizz Beatz, the world-renowned hip-hop producer who’s also the husband of R&B singer Alicia Keys, visited Korea and made praising remarks on the growing K-Pop industry
“I’m traveling around the world and learning the different sounds of each country. I’m interested in not just black music but in a variety of genres. From Korean musicians, I think
Kara, Big Bang, 2NE1, BoA, and a lot more have their own strengths. K-Pop is a new opportunity. It’s because it has a bright future,”
“Korean fans are used to U.S. pop music, but to American fans K-Pop could be strange. But the world is open to new music. K-Pop has a lot of potential.
If 2NE1 and Rihanna were to work together, the impact will be great,” Swizz Beatz added.
