Rapper Lee Yeong-sin, better known by the stage name Punchnello, will release this year's first digital single “us” on Friday.
The artist's label AOMG announced the release on social media Monday with a teaser image of the song.
“Punchnello's unique style of rap and the song's beat will captivate listeners,” AOMG said.
The song will be his first work since collaboration single “Doodle” with K-pop artist Baek Ye-rin, last November.
The winner of Mnet's 2019 hip hop competition “Show Me The Money 8” debuted in 2016 with the song “Lime.”
He was under YG's sub-label HIGHGRND ― led by Epik High's Tablo ― until he signed with the current label in November.
