RAMENGVRL & Awich turn the party up to 11 on ‘BOMBAE’
The club isn’t ready for this Indo/Japan collab
Twenty-four hours in Jakarta might not seem like a lot of time, but in ‘BOMBAE,’ RAMENGVRL’s new single featuring Awich, it’s just enough to eat, drink, and party. The song and video are any Asian Hip Hop lover's dream come true as both MCs are in the LiFTED 50 top 5.
The video starts off as any good night in Jarkata should with tantalizing Nasi Padang. After the Gilla Gilla Girls get full, they head back to the hotel, where RAMENGVRL raps and Awich takes a disco nap. Soon, pillow fights are occurring and money is making it rain. Awich goes hard on her verse backstage at a show as she turns everyone into Awichaholics. Soon, both MCs are on stage and showing each other love and respect. The song is the perfect cross-border collab because both women are at the top of their game and doing things the way they like to do them.
RAMENGVRL said, "I've been a fan of Awich for a long time. When we finally met in Japan, it was like magic—we just clicked. Both of us have always pushed boundaries as female artists in a male-dominated genre, and with this track, we wanted to amplify Asian Hip Hop on a global scale. We had a blast in Japan, and I hope our fans feel the vibe and maybe even catch it live in Indonesia or Japan soon!"
In other news, RAMENGVRL says her album is 80 percent of the way done and should be out by the end of 2024. Fingers crossed.
