Active during his pre-debut days as an underground rapper ( Runch Randa ). 13-year-old Nam-joon was already a prodigy in rap, he'd often attended gigs in his hometown Ilcheon and earned a place for himself in the underground scene at an early age, impressing even older underground rappers. He had made a collab with the famous rapper Zico back in 2008, the track can be found on many platforms including YouTube and SoundCloud.
In early 2015, RM earned not only the approval from big names in the Korean Hip-hop scene, but he had also gained respect from the American Hip-hop figure Warren G. The two came together for the track "P.D.D", where RM asks his haters to stay alive to witness his success. The west coast rapper stated in an interview with CJ America, "I couldn’t understand all his lyrics, but I can say that it was very good because his flow, style, and rhythm are all excellent.” He then even went on to say, "When I hear Rap Monster’s songs, it sounds like Snoop Dogg or me rapping with the beats we’ve made.”
He released his first solo mixtape in the same year, titled 'RM'. It's a work where Nam-joon gives his take hip-hop's influence in his life, the hardships he'd experienced in pursuit of his career, as well as his struggle with self-love and self-acceptance. "Awakening", the third track of the mixtape, talked of his internal conflict between his two identities of "rapper" and "idol", as he had received backlash from the underground Hip-hop community prior to his debut with BTS, claiming that he'd betrayed his roots as a rapper. To this day, the mixtape is considered one of the best works inside the Korean Hip-Hop scene.
In 2018, he came out with a second mixtape named "mono". A project containing a few collaborations (with artists such as HONNE, NELL, eAeon) where Nam-joon experimented with lofi Hip-Hop and ballad. Though different from his previous works, he was still able to showcase his soul-deep lyricism, where he often implemented his skill of using wordplay and metaphors to further reach his listeners. With this mixtape, he continued to explore his own identity and life through a microscope, touching topics like loneliness, self-doubt, longing, and even explored the concept of love and hate. 'mono' proved RM a unique artist of diversity and growth. The mixtape is available on Spotify, iTunes, and SoundCloud. During its first day of release, the mixtape reached high positions on stream platforms, giving RM a profile with verification, resulting in his becoming of a more acknowledged rapper, producer, and songwriter.
A lot of prestigious artists, from South Korea and EUA, found interest in RM and invited him for collaborations. Famous American rappers like Wale and Lil Nas X, even the rock group Fall Out Boy and famous Korean artists like Drunken Tiger and Gaeko.
In 2017 was released the track "Change", a collab between Wale and Rap Monster (RM). The song talks of global violence, the school system, social injustice, and bullying. The two conversed through lyrics, claiming that people were controlled by the higher power and voiced out their wish of a changing world.
In 2019 Lil Nas X called RM for one of the remixes of his hit "Old Town Road". And this collab gave Nam-joon a chance to perform along with Lil Nas X for the first time on the 2019 edition of the Grammy's stage.

RM Lyrics
차가운 새벽 공기에
난 몰래 눈을 뜨네
이 도시의 harmony
난 너무나 익숙해
내 어린 날들은 아득하고
빌딩과 차들만 가득해도
이젠 여기가 나의 집인걸
서울 서울
넌 왜 soul과 발음 비슷한 걸까
무슨 영혼을 겨졌길래
무엇이든 날 이토록 너의 곁에 잡아두었나
네게 난 추억조차 없는데
난 이제 니가 너무 지겨워
너의 맨날 똑같은 잿빛 표정
아니 아니 나는 내가 두려워
이미 너의 돼버렸거든
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I love you Seoul
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I hate you Seoul
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I love you Seoul
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I hate you Seoul (Seoul)
가만히 있어도 풍경이 바뀌는 bus와
비슷한 듯 조금씩 다른 building
역한 듯 아닌 듯한 삶의 향과
따뜻한 척 하는 차가운 공원들
늘 헤매야 하는 사람들과
너무 많은 한을 품는 한강들과
혼자 하늘을 볼 수 없는 그네들과
그네들과
좀 늦어버린 자
친구들은 툭하면 떠나겠다 해 (난)
난 끄덕거려 보지만 웃질 못해
너무 인정하기 싫지만
이미 난 너의 미움과
그 역겨움까지 다 사랑해
청계천의 비린 널 사랑해
선유도의 쓸쓸함을 사랑해
좀만 있으면 살기 좋다던
어느 택시기사의 한숨까지도
(I love you) 사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I love you Seoul
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I hate you Seoul
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I love you Seoul
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I hate you Seoul (Seoul)
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I love you Seoul (I love you Seoul)
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I hate you Seoul (I love you Seoul)
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I love you Seoul (I love you Seoul)
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I hate you Seoul (Seoul)
I'm leavin' you
I'm livin' you
I'm leavin' you
I'm livin' you
I'm leavin' you
I'm livin' you
I'm leavin' you
I'm livin' you
Seoul
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I love you Seoul
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I hate you Seoul
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I love you Seoul
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I hate you Seoul
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I love you Seoul
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I hate you Seoul
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I love you Seoul
사랑과 미움이 같은 말이면, I hate you Seoul
Seoul (yeah)
I love you Seoul (yeah)
I hate you Seoul (yeah)
I love you Seoul (yeah)
I hate you Seoul

Mono deserves more attention. It's not an album, it's a therapy for anxiety.
