K-pop icons aespa joined forces with one of the hottest rappers in the game for their newest release “Dirty Work”. The single includes a title track of the same name, an English version, an instrumental, and a remix featuring Flo Milli. “Dirty Work” is a cool, powerful dance track with laid-back vocals and a funky synth bass. While still fitting in with the group’s chic and edgy vibe, this song is a refreshing change as well as an example of the members’ versatility as singers. Fans got a sneak peek at the track earlier this month when the group released a choreography video, building up even more suspense for an already highly-anticipated release.
aespa has been on top the K-pop scene for a while, but their position was solidified after the release of their first full-length album Armageddon in 2024. The project cleaned up at several year-end award shows across Asia, singles “Whiplash” and “Armageddon” were dominating the charts domestically and globally, and the group followed it up with another hit EP Whiplash. Flo Milli saw success last year as well, with her second studio album Fine Ho, Stay charting on the Billboard 200. The rapper has been building up her discography and making a name for herself since 2019 with the official release of her single “Beef FloMix” as well as her track “In The Party”. With nearly one billion total streams and over 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Flo Milli is building a legacy as one of the most notable and talented artists in the genre.
Both the collab of the year and song of the summer in one, “Dirty Work” is a successful switch-up from aespa’s usual style accompanied by an incredibly smart choice when it comes to the featured artist. Flo Milli’s signature confidence and playful verse meshes perfectly with the group, allowing the song to bring out the best of each of them. aespa’s members are powerful vocalists, but their attitude and aura is what makes their music stand out. “Dirty Work” allowed the members to try something new while retaining their signature vibe, and gave their featured artist the freedom to be authentic and lean into the collab full-force. This track is a shining example of both aespa and Flo Milli.
