October 24, 2023 — Korean hip-hop artist Bryan Chase releases the official music video for an exhilarating remix of “Restart It (feat. Okasian) (Extended Ver.). This hard-edged track, which first appeared on his acclaimed debut EP 2U (THEBLACKLABEL/Interscope Records), and its accompanying video soar to the next level with Bryan reuniting with his long-time collaborator, Okasian, who spits fire on the track. Listen to the Extended Version feat. Okasian HERE and watch the visual HERE.
This is their first link up in years as Bryan and Okasian went viral overnight with the release of their debut collaboration “No Flex Zone Remix”. They instantly put the rap world on notice which quickly led to The Last Orcas released through 88rising which was highlighted by Bryan and Okasian linking up for the singles and videos for “Walkin (Remix)” and “Underwater Bank”.
As with the original “Restart It” video, viewers are treated to a tense, cinematic display in which Chase finds himself evading gunfire and explosive landmines in the desert. Meanwhile, Okasian, in the middle of a heist is called upon to gather the squad and is expertly added. “We go dumb restart it no they so not ready for it, finesse you out your trust fund blame your daddy for it,” he spits while riding shotgun in a crowded van on a mission to save Bryan.
“Restart It” originally dropped this summer to great fanfare and was preceded by the sultry track “Raindrop,” which featured a stunning music video of its own featuring futuristic panache. It followed on the heels of “2U” featuring A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, which arrived with a mind-blowing animated video.
That single was the title track of Chase’s debut EP, which arrived on June 28th and explores the artist’s ongoing artistic and personal growth. On it, he experiments with ambitious new sounds and ideas, pushing himself out of his comfort zone.
Chase first gained notoriety alongside Korean hip-hop collective, The Cohort, who exploded on the international music scene. Dominating the blog era with support from the likes of VICE, Complex, The Fader and Hypebeast, The Cohort cultivated the underground rap scene, while demonstrating hip-hop’s cross-cultural powers. Their “No Flex Zone (Remix)” went viral on YouTube and the momentum culminated into a series of releases by The Cohort called The Last Orcas, released through 88rising. It included Bryan’s collaboration with Keith Ape on “Let Us Prey,” and singles like “Walkin (Remix)” and “Underwater Bank,” which combined have more than 14 million views on YouTube.
Chase, who was born in Seoul, but grew up between Texas and Virginia, fell in love with hip-hop at an early age and was inspired by the Southern rap scene. “Restart It” is a vivid display of the rising star’s addictive brand of showmanship, and why he’s one of the most exciting voices in international hip-hop today.
