Choiza

South Korean hip hop artist Choiza was born Choi Jae-ho on March 17, 1980, in Seoul. He first came to prominence in 2004 as one half of hip hop outfit Dynamic Duo alongside childhood friend Gaeko. The duo were originally members of hip hop trio CB Mass, but the group split up in 2003 when it was discovered that third member Curbin had been stealing money from the other two. Forming Dynamic Duo, Choiza and Gaeko released their debut album, Taxi Driver, in 2004. The album became the best-selling Korean hip hop album of all time. Their sophomore album, Double Dynamite (2005), earned them an award for Best Hip Hop Album at the Korean Music Awards in 2006. Further albums – Enlightened (number 2 in 2007), Last Days (number 5 in 2008), Dynamic Duo 6th Digilog 1 / 2 (number 6 in 2011), Dynamic Duo 6the Digilog 2 /2 (number 1 in 2012), and Lucky Numbers (number 2 in 2013) - solidified their standing as one of South Korea’s finest groups. While the group continued to release music together, each member became famous in their own right. Choiza stepped out as a solo artist with the release of the 2012 single “Good (AIR),” which he followed with “Traveler” (2013), “Hobby” (2016), “Hit!!!” (2018), “Family” (2022), and “Jaeho” (2022). Choiza has continued to record as a member of Dynamic Duo, releasing three volumes of their 2 Kids on the Block series in 2023 and 2024.
