[NEWS] 130504 Zico to feature in Jay Park’s next album

On Sukira with Super Junior’s Ryeowook, Jay Park mentioned that Block B’s leader Zico will be featuring in his upcoming album. Jay Park’s 2nd regular album will be released this coming summer, featuring Zico along with other artists such as Supreme Team, Illionaire, and Crush.

Translation from 13:48 to 14:28

Ryeowook: In your last album, many people featured including Tiger JK, Yoon Mirae, and Dynamic Duo. Are there any people who will be in the next regular album…

Jaebum: Ah, featuring?

Ryeowook: We’re curious

Jaebum: At the moment there is Supreme Team hyung, Zico, the guys from Illionaire, and a friend called Crush. That’s it for now

Ryeowook: To be honest it’s enough with just Park Jaebum, but with many people featuring it brings the completion of this album to the next level

Jaebum: That’s right
