[BBI PR] # 13 Block B’s Zico Displays Modesty
January 11, 2012
It is pretty well known among Block B fans, that Block B’s leader Zico participates as an “underground” K-rapper, and has garnered quite a lot of popularity due to his talent and age. Not only that, Zico has also featured in songs for popular Korean rappers such as Verbal Jint and Cho Pd.
Due to his features, Zico had the honor of being nominated for “Featuring of the Year” for the 2011 Hip Hop Playa Awards. Hip Hop Playa is the communication network for the Korean rap industry, making this quite the feat for Zico. Zico himself was surprised and tweeted, “I don’t feel that I am worthy to be nominated for the Hip Hop Playa Awards. To stand shoulder to shoulder with such people, I’m still so very lacking. I know that my fans love me…! So please vote based on talent and skill alone. I was really surprised to see my name there.. It’s not my time yet… won’t be for a long time”.
Zico’s request to fans to vote based upon talent not popularity showed fans his modest and fair nature. Many were impressed and remarked that, Zico was truly fit for the role and as a leader, and that he had a lot of potential as a rapper and lyricist.
Zico has finished composing Block B’s album, and the group is set to comeback on Febuary 2, 2012.
