KIMKIPYØ is officially set to debut under AOMG.

KIMKIPYØ will release his first EP 'CHECK OUT' on April 12 at 6 PM.

'CHECK OUT' marks his first project since joining AOMG in February this year and serves as his official debut album, signaling the beginning of his career. Previously, he gained attention from hip-hop fans through his appearance on TVING’s 'RAP: PUBLIC,' where he showcased his impressive rap skills. More recently, he proved his growth by advancing to the team matching round on Mnet’s 'Show Me the Money 12.'

Ahead of his official debut, KIMKIPYØ has been building anticipation by releasing various content through AOMG’s official social media channels. In particular, his newly revealed profile image drew attention with a bold transformation, featuring a striking green hairstyle that heightened fans’ curiosity.

A short-form video also unveiled a snippet of a track from the upcoming EP for the first time. Even in its brief runtime, the clip delivered KIMKIPYØ’s signature free-spirited energy and addictive sound, raising expectations for the musical direction he will present through this well-crafted project.

Born in 2006, KIMKIPYØ is a rising rapper known for his appealing tone and solid diction. As a new face in AOMG’s 2.0 rebranding project 'Make It New,' he is poised to launch his full-fledged music career as one of the label’s most promising newcomers.

Even before his debut, he built experience and recognition through various hip-hop survival programs. In 2024, he finished as runner-up on the rap battle content 'Rap Cup,' and in the recently concluded 'Show Me the Money 12,' he left a strong impression with his bold yet witty hooks and stable stage presence.

KIMKIPYØ’s debut EP 'CHECK OUT,' which signals his confident entry into the hip-hop scene in 2026, will be released on April 12 at 6 PM across major online music platforms.
