Bi the Hood are here — and 'Lowkey' already has receipts

October 20 marked Bi the Hood's official debut. The five-member group—Ian, Jace, Purvi, Giryou, and Ruan—dropped their first mini album THE REAL DEAL alongside the "CHOP!" music video. That evening at 7 PM, they performed the title track live on their official YouTube channel for the first time.

"CHOP!" is a hip-hop-based dance track produced by Ryan Shin and ChaMane of The Hub.

Six tracks, one pre-debut chart run

The full tracklist for THE REAL DEAL:

• "CHOP!"
• "Lowkey"
• "The Baddest"
• "JADED"
• "STEEZE"
• "Up on the Moon (머물러)"

"Lowkey" was already gaining traction before the album dropped. It hit No. 1 on the YouTube Shorts daily chart, No. 5 on the popular music video daily chart, and landed in the YouTube Music weekly chart TOP100 for two consecutive weeks. Closing track "Up on the Moon (머물러)" features songwriting by Seori.

Collabs and agency word

Bi the Hood partnered with American premium leather brand Benson Leathers for styling and created animation content with creator Ppadners ahead of the release.

Levels, the group's agency, said: "In keeping with the album title 'THE REAL DEAL', we have finished preparing to show without reservation Bi the Hood's own music, identity, and distinctive performance."
