Award-winning hip-hop trio Epik High has left YG Entertainment, ending a seven-year contract.

It is unknown if the band ― Tablo, Mithra Jin and DJ Tukutz ― are looking for a new agency.

YG announced Epik High's departure on Tuesday.

"The contract with Epik High was terminated," YG said. "This was a conclusion the two sides reached after a long discussion. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Tablo and Epik High for the beautiful music they have presented over the past seven years."

The hip-hop trip debuted in 2003. It gained stardom in 2005 with "Fly" and swept several prestigious domestic music awards between 2007 and 2008.
