Underground producer

Chapter 19

I sat next to Haon and opposite to Jay and Simon. Both were on their phones. Judging from Simons soft face and smiles he was texting Anna and Jay was probably doing buisness. Haon was listing to some music and writing down verses in a notebook. Soon we pulled up at a big theater or so. It looked grand and there lot pf people outside. Mr.Won drove to the back where a staff member was waiting for us. The man was about the same age as Haon, wore a suit and spoke very good English. Jay gretted him and we followed. Soon he led us inside and into a green room.

" PD-nim where are we?", Haon asked as we all took a seat on the couch since we were told to wait in here until they are ready.

Jay did not answer and just looked at me and smiled.

" This is a suprise", he said with a big grin.

I looked at Simon who was still busy with his phone and not paying attention. What was this all? I decided to work on a track while waiting and pulled out my laptop and wireless headphones. I zooned out. When I work on music I forget where I am and my mind is fully focused on melodies and lyrics. This time I created a song that was the counterpart song of Dawn of us. I was not planning to make this but my heart was speaking here. I was angry at myself and opened a more rap kind of track. I closed my eyes and thought about some lyrics. Then someone tapped me on my shoulder and I opened my eyes and saw Haon in front of me and mouthing something. I turned off the track and closed my laptop and looked at him.

" What Haon?", I asked him a bit annoyed.

" We have a visitor Noona! And we will go somewhere now", he said smiling and I packed away my laptop not paying attention to the visitor.

"GRAIL come on over here. I want to introduce you to my friend", Jay yelled at me excited and I walked over.

I faced a very handsome looking man who beamed a smile at me. It took me a moment until I realized who was standing infront of me.

"Kris Wu, pleasure to meet you. My name is GRAIL. New producer of AOMG or as Jay likes to call me...", I said politely and got cut off by Jay.

"My golden child", he ended my sentence.

Kris was the best rapper in China and he defined Stardome. As a producer I followed his work for a while and I learned Chinese to understand the influence of the language on the rap flow and style. He had skills and I was even more confused on what we were doing here.

Jay and Kris turned around and walked out of the room and Simon pushed me and Haon towards the door.

" Chill. Now what are we doing....", I asked Simon but my question got answered as we entered a big hall or stage that had a sign in the back saying "Rap Nation". It was the chinese version of Show me the money and for years Kris is part of the judges and mentors. So we were special guest on his team.

The stage and setting was more impressive than show me the money and I could feel the excitment already. This was where the next generation of rappers were born. I watched the show so I know how everything works. I also know what kind of rappers were on his team so I had an idea of their styles. But he did not have the best team. There were better candidates but if he played his cards well Kris could win with his rappers. I knew what could be done. I walked on stage and sat down on the edge and let my eyes wonder. I felt tingels all over my body. I dreamed of a chance like this. Make the winning track for a new and talented rapper who performs this on a show like this.

" Kris... You want to win this right? I can help you. Your rappers are not the best but they have potential. I have a song in my mind that could be the winning track here. One for Yi and one for Tu", I said to him smirking and confident.
