Jurin Asaya steps into her own orbit on ‘PS118’
The XG leader is joined by legendary MC Rapsody
Every debut is a crucial statement in an artist’s career. On ‘PS118,’ the first solo release from XG’s Jurin Asaya is her declaration as a student of Hip Hop. Known to most as the sharp-eyed leader and main rapper of the girl group, Jurin moves with the certainty of a rapper with years of experience under her belt.
Built on a smooth, BoomBap backbone, ‘PS118’ gives Jurin room to show how clean and agile her flow really is. She darts across the beat with precise confidence that makes every bar land with an oomph. There’s a swagger to her delivery that is light on its feet, but grounded by an unmistakable sense of control.
Rapsody’s verse deepens that universe. Their back-and-forth feels effortless, like two students comparing notes mid-debate. Rapsody brings her trademark sharpness, but what stands out most is the mutual respect woven through their exchange. Rather than overshadowing, she highlights Jurin’s presence, giving the track a conversational spark.
What ‘PS118’ ultimately showcases is individuality as an expansion of what Jurin has always hinted at. She’s exploring new corners of her artistry, testing gravity, stretching toward something wider.
