Oedipus

This work is a conscious rap project built on gloomy, distorted beats reminiscent of witch house and the SoundCloud scene around 2017, with all aspects of production-including the artwork-handled by Milky herself. Through themes that are both deeply personal and closely intertwined with social structures-such as the Oedipus complex, the father figure, ego and superego, and the division and reintegration of masculinity and femininity-the project articulates what can be described as "rap that verbalizes structure," expressed across layers of the body, relationships, and thought.

In contrast to certain contemporary rap scenes that emphasize material value and the display of success, this work embodies hip-hop's original role as self-critique by deliberately exposing immaturity, dependency, distorted desire, and an obsession with knowledge. It demonstrates that expression is fundamentally supported by context, lived experience, and one's attitude toward thinking itself.

Symbols such as the umbilical cord, names, and chains do not serve to romanticize family or fatherhood; rather, they reveal the inseparability of love and control, and of structural protection and violence, symbolizing the reality that has shaped and continues to influence Milky's own formation. Furthermore, by resisting fixed notions of gender and physicality, and by framing masculinity and femininity not as opposing binaries but as processes of transition and choice, the work translates coexisting inner impulses and fears into rap, aiming for a conscious expression that refuses to simplify identity.
