Lyric

K-Dream's 1st album "25" was released in 2025.
It is a deeply conceptual project where the meaning of the album artwork and the lyrics are closely connected - in some moments the artwork explains the lyrics, while in others the lyrics give new meaning to the artwork.

The album artwork was created by Hanawa, who also collaborated on the artwork for K-Dream's EP released in March.
Their continued collaboration plays an important role in shaping the visual identity of "25."

After releasing the EP, K-Dream reflected on how to move forward this year and decided to fully commit to creating a debut album.
The first half of "25" features aggressive, rage-influenced Drill and Trap sounds inspired by contemporary Billboard-charting music from the U.S.
The second half shifts into Melodic Trap, Melodic Drill, and soulful, bittersweet tracks with subtle R&B influences.

Every aspect of the album was handled independently by K-Dream - including lyrics, beat-making, rap, flow, toplines, mixing, and mastering.
Using Billboard-charting records as references, the project aims to recreate and closely approach a modern, Billboard-level sound.

Despite incorporating a wide range of genres, "25" flows smoothly from start to finish and works well as a complete listening experience.
The melodic tracks in particular stand out as some of the strongest moments on the album.

Inspired by the Mamba Mentality, this project reflects the desire to stay fully focused, aim higher, and continue pushing forward without giving up.

Mamba Forever.
