Stray Kids have heightened fans’ excitement with the release of a teaser for their upcoming solo track, Hallucination. On November 25, the group shared a snippet from their new mixtape album SKZHIP HOP HOP (stylized as HOP) via their official social media channels, offering a glimpse into the unique creative direction of the project.
The teaser, lasting approximately 34 seconds, featured member I En as the centerpiece. In the video, I En takes on the role of a sculptor navigating the hazy remnants of a dream, trying to recall a figure that remains just out of reach. His delicate emotional performance and the teaser’s ethereal atmosphere underscore a shift from the group’s usual style, amplifying curiosity about the solo track Hallucination.
SKZHIP HOP HOP combines the group’s abbreviation (SKZ) with the energy of hip-hop, representing an album project that explores Stray Kids’ signature take on the genre. The album comprises 12 tracks, including the title song Walkin On Water and other highlights such as Bounce Back and U, the latter featuring a collaboration with Tablo.
In addition to group tracks, the album showcases solo pieces from all eight members. These individual works were previously unveiled during the group’s new world tour, dominATE, where members brought their personal artistry to the stage. Each member contributed to the album’s creative process, with their names appearing in the credits, a testament to their involvement in songwriting and production.
The mixtape project not only expands Stray Kids’ musical repertoire but also highlights the individuality of its members, blending diverse influences into a cohesive narrative. The inclusion of prominent features like Tablo adds an extra layer of artistic collaboration, further broadening the album’s appeal.
Scheduled for release on December 13 at 2 PM KST (midnight EST), SKZHIP HOP HOP marks another milestone for the group as they continue to experiment with innovative sounds and concepts. Industry experts anticipate that the album will set a new benchmark in K-pop’s evolution, reinforcing Stray Kids’ reputation as trendsetters in the global music scene.
Fans worldwide are eagerly awaiting the official release, drawn by the group’s consistent ability to reinvent themselves while staying true to their roots. As the release date approaches, the teaser has successfully built momentum, promising a groundbreaking addition to Stray Kids’ discography.
