80. Zaza – 버스 안에서 (In The Bus)

From Illusion (1996)
Label: Three Nine Comprehensive Media
Composition/Writing/Arrangement: Kang Won-suk
Links: audio, live

It’s one of those songs where the verses are catchier than the chorus. The raspy rapping is reminiscent of CLON, themselves a contemporary of Zaza, but Yoo Young‘s smooth bridge and finish soon creates distinction. There’s undeniable groove here, and the storytelling still works too.
