T A B L O. That adorable rapper's stuff goes here~
Tablo (born July 22, 1980 in South Korea), born Lee Sun-Woong (이선웅), also known as Daniel Armand Lee to American and other Western audiences , is a Korean Canadian rapper in and leader of the group Epik High. Known not only for appearing in Korean variety shows and sitcoms such as MBC's Nonstop5, Lee is also noted for having attained both a Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree in English Literature and Creative Writing, respectively from Stanford University, California, USA.Lee claims to have been a long time fan of hip hop music, citing an almost lifelong affair with the culture itself, listening to hip hop at an early age through artists such as Run-DMC and acquiring Cold Crush tapes, whilst concurrently gaining recognition as a rhymer. His major and enduring love affair with making hip hop music was sparked later in life however, after hearing Drunken Tiger rapping, the group Epik High was formed in 2000 at an early time in the culture's local evolution; Lee has since claimed to be the first emcee to have used the "rhyming rifle" technique. With the hip hop scene in Korea and for (Korean) emcees being known for its fickle tendencies, Lee has through the years kept alive his legacy and career through numerous shows, appearances on influential overseas (American most notably) hip hop artists work, such as EPMD and now plans to release a solo album within the near future.
