The Queitt & Dok2 of?Illionaire Records
The reason these two well-established artists are branded as a unit is because of their collective development behind the sensational rise of Illionaire Records. As a hip-hop label, Illionaire Records?both in terms of financial wealth and influence?boast the highest level of triumph in Korea. As their international following quickly expanded with their affiliation with K-Pop artist Jay Park, the clique of Dok2 and Quiett (who have both amassed prior success as solo artists) saw an immense growth in their fan base. Their shows are sold out within 10 seconds after they go on sale, completely breaking the old notion that it’s impossible to wield success solely off rap in Korea.?In the purest sense, Dok2 and The Quiett are Korea’s first real, rap superstars. Young, rich, and getting it, is an adequate mantra for these two indie rap bosses.
