Music

Piri has been described as a South-Korean alternative rapper. His music has been described as Hip-Hop and Contemporary Hip-Hop. , and his rap has been described as fast and smooth.

Rap speed

Piri as been acknowledged in October 2022 by the YouTuber CarKpop as the 8th fastest Korean rapper on an 8 syllable constant, with his verse in his song Chicken, tied with Changbin of Stray Kids at an average speed of 9.75SPS (Syllable per Second).

In 2023, CarKpop updated his ranking (available here). With an 8 seconds constant, Piri appeared now (thanks to his song Kick Ass),as the 4th fastest Korean rapper, tied with Justhis and Basick at an average speed of 11.25SPS.

Note : the method used by CarKpop to rank the rappers is to choose the fastest 8 seconds of rap he can find from a rapper, and to count the number of syllables pronounced during those 8 seconds, then divide that number per 8 to get the speed in SPS. If we changed the length of the constant, or the method used, we could theoretically get completely different rankings.

Lyrics

Piri not always release lyrics along with his songs. Official lyrics may be released in the description of the associated YouTube video or SoundCloud track. Others like Decapitation and 600’s lyrics were only released as subtitles for the YouTube video. Decapitation is even more an exception : only the English translation have been officially released on the YouTube video.
