Yesterday (November 18), Asaya released her debut solo single, ‘PS118’ featuring rapper Rapsody. This makes the K-pop singer – who is also the leader of XG – the first member of the group to release solo material.
‘PS118’ is a smooth hip-hop track that sees Jurin rap with a quick and slick flow, later bouncing verses off Rapsody. Asaya raps with ease on the track: “Oxygen level low / Vapors is all I’m breathing in / Had to hit up Rapsody / The queen no bohemian / 8 bars pass off with ease so convenient / I see the play Earth is feeling crowded / So I needed space“.
Jurin commented of the track via a press release: “I’m so excited to release my solo single ‘PS118.’ For me, ‘PS118’ is a song about exploring and expanding my own universe. Throughout this project, Rapsody and I deeply connected with each other’s journeys, exploring and traveling through our own universes. The whole process felt like we were flying through space together—it was pure fun! I hope you can feel our journey through the words and rhythm.”
Rapsody added: “I was blown away by her lyrical skill and performance! Especially since English isn’t her first language—she killed it! The verses were flawless and deserve respect! Jurin proved herself to be a true MC on this track, and it was a joy to share the mic with her! Fans can expect real rap, wordplay, and sharp rhymes. No fluff, just pure Jedi force.”
