How did MCK become popular?

Free fall tower - the original version performed by LBI Lợi bi - is a Pop Ballad that has taken the Chinese music scene by storm since the beginning of this year. The song continues to be a hit in many Asian countries, including the Vietnamese market. A vietsub version (translated lyrics into Vietnamese) of Free Fall Tower , released on YouTube, has attracted more than 5 million views.

MCK remake Free fall tower in a musical color completely different from the original. The slow, emotional The free fall tower , through MCK's hands, completely disappeared. Instead, the male rapper turned the song into hip hop with drill, a genre of music with a fast rhythm, characterized by drums, synths and some electronic sounds, resonating into a combination that is likened to "drill and cut concrete".

MCK created spontaneously Freestanding drill tower with just one verse and hook. The rapper wrote a new verse, then kept the original chorus melody and turned it into a hook. Along with a photo, MCK completed a product to release on YouTube in a remake format.

In the usual way, artists will spend a lot of time nurturing and releasing a well-crafted product before thinking about competing in the top trending race. MCK is different. The male rapper "emerged" in an impromptu and somewhat careless way, but still caused a stir.

MCK's success comes first of all from the fact that the male rapper has a very good foundation. MCK has a large number of loyal fans, and has always been a name that creates strong attraction for Vietnamese rap in particular and the Vietnamese music market in general in the past 5 years. On the other hand, MCK's crazy, unique way of doing things has surprised the audience even more.

MCK once made the music industry shake with the remake Haru Haru of Big Bang. But this is the product of MCK and his associates retaining most of the identity of Haru Haru. As for Free Drill Tower , MCK creates more innovative products. For two consecutive years, MCK created 2 remakes that made waves in Vietnamese music, proving his position as the most effective remake artist in the current market.

A series of other famous rappers in the Vietnamese rap world have been releasing music one after another, taking advantage of the opportunity when the remake trend is causing a fever on TikTok. This is a way for rappers to show their creativity, even demonstrate their lyric writing skills and show off their rapping skills.

After SpaceSpeakers' "Muzil suppresses the epidemic", the Vietnamese rap world has a new trend that attracts many rappers to participate. The return of MCK, Obito and the remake trend help rap fans balance their emotions after a period of stagnation in Vietnamese rap, due to the continuous controversies and the fact that many rappers flock to sing.

On the current trending music list, 5 out of 6 positions in the top 6 belong to rappers. They are Hieuthuhai, MCK, Binh Gold, Obito and Hurrykng. The famous Vietnamese rapper group of the Gen Z generation has shown signs of taking over the Vietnamese music market again, but the situation is clearly divided in 2 directions. That is a group of successful rappers with products that are strongly market-oriented (Hieuthuhai, Hurrykng) and the rest are rappers who are loyal to the personality of rap music.

The number of rappers' songs present in the top trending group has been very high since the beginning of 2025. But paradoxically, real rap music products are scarce. That is the reason why rap music is losing ground and no longer maintains its strong appeal in the market like previous years.

The "fiery" beefs of underground rappers, even famous diss raps like career obstacle (Fireworks) only have a temporary effect on Vietnamese rap. For rap music to truly explode in the market, many products with strong rap/hip hop colors need to appear, create a fever and have sustainable market appeal.

The return of MCK and Obito is one of the factors that can help Vietnamese rap explode again, just like the way the two rappers did in their two albums. 99% and Trade-off .
