American DJ Skrillex’s new album “Recess” that featured K-pop artists landed the fourth spot on the U.S. Billboard 200 Chart.

As the dubstep maestro’s new album has enjoyed popularity, the two K-pop artists 2NE1’s CL and Big Bang’s G-Dragon are expected to share the lime light.

They collaborated in the English-language song “Dirty Vibe,” where the two worked with other YG producers as well as Diplo and Baaurer.

The two K-pop stars are known to have engaged in a series of collaborations with other artists. The producing duo Diplo and Baaurer had previously produced the G-Dragon’s title track of his 2nd EP “Coup D’Etat,” which hit the Billboard 200 last summer.

Meanwhile 2NE1’s newest album "Crush,” the girl group’s second studio album, ranked 61st on the Billboard 200, breaking records for K-pop albums in America.
