Rapper Hwang Ji-sang is set to release his debut studio album, "#800080," marking a new chapter in defining his musical identity.

Hwang Ji-sang will release his first full-length album, "#800080 (Sharp Pal Gong Gong Gong Pal Gong)," at 6 p.m. on the 11th via various online music streaming platforms.

The album title "#800080" is inspired by the color code for purple. Hwang Ji-sang, who has long held a special affection for the color purple, has come to regard it as a symbol of his musical identity.

The album consists of a total of 16 tracks, including the title song "November 11." It features contributions from a diverse lineup of artists, including Crucial Star, Koonta, Luggy, Rredrain, Ahyun, Kang Oh-ah, as well as SOOP streamer Vaseline, Ulsan Big Whale, Sang-deuk, and Sno.

The title track "November 11" is the 11th track on the album and explores why Hwang Ji-sang chose to release his debut studio album on his birthday. The lyrics candidly express his complex inner emotions and his honest perspective that he does not simply view his birthday as a cause for joy. Rapper Koonta provided support through a featured verse.

Musically, the track is built on boom bap beats utilizing real drum sources, highlighting the inherent appeal of hip-hop. Rather than chasing the latest music trends, Hwang Ji-sang focused on the sounds he loved when he first started making music, weaving in his own sincere narrative.

Regarding the title track, Hwang Ji-sang stated, "This song is the very reason I had to release this studio album on my birthday. In a nutshell, it contains 'the reason I hate my birthday.' I directly asked Koonta hyung, who has watched over me closely since my debut, to work on the hook. I wanted someone who knows me well to deliver a powerful message with just a few short phrases."

He continued, "This is the song in this album that most clearly conveys the story I want to share. Before presenting the musical character expressed through purple, I wanted to show Hwang Ji-sang as a person." He added, "Recalling the sounds I loved when I first started hip-hop, I unfolded my story in the most primal way possible."
