From 'Daydream' to 'Blue Side' - 10 songs of BTS' J-Hope that showcase his versatile artistic expression

From ‘Daydream’ to ‘Blue Side’ – 10 songs of BTS’ J-Hope that showcase his versatile artistic expression

On the occasion of J-Hope’s birthday today, February 18, let’s take a look at some of the fun and hope-filled tracks from the versatile rapper.

1 VERSE (2015)
Before BTS gained the recognition it has today, they were a bunch of boys with fire in their hearts and music in their veins with an aim to be the best of the best. Cut to 2022, and BTS is synonymous with success. The fire for success that was burning in their hearts is smoothly translated into this non-album track ‘1Verse’ by J-Hope. He used trap and hip-hop beats to express himself, and used rap to polish the song.

 

MAMA (2016)
‘MAMA’ is J-Hope’s solo from WINGS album. The track is an ode to his mother, expressing previously unspoken gratitude for her hard work and sacrifices for helping her child prosper in life. The song uses retro jazzy beats attempting to add a light tone to the otherwise heavily emotional track. What makes the track more meaningful is that the track is relatable to every listener, for all of us have at some point forgotten to address the sacrifices our mothers make for us.

INTRO: BOY MEETS EVIL (2016)
Taking inspiration from Hermann Hesse's 1919 novel Demian, BTS’ WINGS album is probably one of the finest pieces of their music in their stunning discography. "I sharpened my knife every day, but because of my uncontrollable greed, my knife became dull," J-Hope sings in ‘Intro: Boy Meets Evil’ which sets the dramatic tone of the album. "I feel the sharp reality more every day. There’s red blood from being torn apart by reality." J-Hope participated in making of the song along with producer Pdogg and RM.

DAYDREAM (2018)
‘Daydream’ is a funky hip-hop song from J-hope’s solo mixtape Hope World. It is sassy, it is cool and it urges one to speak their heart out. Just like J-Hope vision, the song gives a message of hope to those who want to follow their heart. The music video is vibrant, resonating with the idea of a daydream. The synth bass beats reverb throughout the song that creates a stunning charm for the listeners.

AIRPLANE (2018)
‘Airplane’ another song from J-Hope’s mixtape Hope World. The song is about remembering one’s struggles and celebrating the success. It’s a song that tells the listeners to work hard towards their goals, and ignore the pessimist crowd. J-hope swings into the song with his smooth rap verses matched with semi-trap beats.

DDAENG (2018)
‘Ddaeng’ is a classic diss track featuring the rap-line of BTS (RM, SUGA, J-HOPE). The song was performed at the BTS Festa celebrations in 2018. The song is not a part of the official discography, but a special feature just for the Festa. It features a juxtaposition of traditional Korean instruments and modern trap. The trio belts one cocky rap verse after another, absolutely unapologetic and high on success.

 

TRIVIA: JUST DANCE (2018)
J-Hope’s solo from the Love Yourself: Answer album is a track that matches and reflects his personality aptly. The song is all about letting one loose and dancing to their hearts content. ‘Trivia: Just Dance’ is a fun pop number with disco beats infused with addicting energy. The song’s charm is simply irresistible.

CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP (2019)

The song that came as a surprise in multiple layers, ‘Chicken Noodle Soup’ is quite a joyous track. Featuring singer Becky-G, the hip-hop song samples the 2006 track of the same name by DJ Webstar and rapper Young B. The trilingual song features choreography from the original song, with a fun addition of dance moves mimicking a chicken flapping its wings. Narrating their journey’s in the music industry, this collaboration is easily and probably one of the finest ones ever to exist.

OUTRO: EGO (2020)
Closing BTS’ studio album Map of the Soul: 7, ‘Outro: Ego’ is a blend of jazzy and pop beats. "We are now going to progress to some steps which are more difficult. Ready. Set. And begin," starts the lively upbeat track paying ode to '2 Cool 4 Skool' and the beginning hits you up with nostalgia. The song is a foot-tapping dance number. The music video sports a blast of vibrant colours, akin to J-Hope’s ‘Daydream’. ‘Outro: Ego’ is a song about tenacity and trust in one’s judgement. He sings about his then 7-year long journey as an artist and how he is grateful for what he has today.

BLUE SIDE: OUTRO (2021)
‘Blue Side: Outro’ is the concluding track of J-Hope’s mixtape. The song was quite short, and left fans wanting to listen to a full version of the song. To celebrate Hope World’s third anniversary, on March 1, 2021, J-Hope released the full version of ‘Blue Side’. The song is about the melancholic feelings when one just feels blue. Hissnoise and former BigHit producer Adora took part in composing the track, along with J-Hope.


Though there are several compositions J-Hope has participated in, produced, written for, he continues be a versatile musician who dives into a newer side of his artistic expression, which reflects in his style of music.
