Music producer Kang Dong-chul, better known as Brave Brothers, has attracted stars from the American pop music industry, teaming up with American rapper YG.

The prominent American music magazine highlighted Kang, 36, Friday, who made his debut in the U.S. producing “Cash Money.” The song features YG, whom the outlet has described as “one of hip-hop’s most in-demand rappers in America.” The song also reportedly features a veteran MC Krayzie Bone.

The magazine has touched on Kang’s discography involving K-pop idol bands, which includes AOA’s “Heart Attack” and Hello Venus with “Wiggle Wiggle.”

YG, who was born Keenon Daequan Ray Jackson, was quoted in the magazine as saying Kang is “definitely one of the most profound international producers of our time.”

Kang, in turn, said YG is “the new West Coast sound at its finest,” dubbing him a “lyrical genius.”
