He is the leader and the main rapper in the South Korean boy group BTS, managed under Big Hit Labels.
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.”
On March 4, 2015, RM released a single with Warren G entitled, "P.D.D (Please Don't Die)" ahead of his first solo mixtape RM following an offer by Warren G to collaborate. The track reflected how RM felt towards those who hated and criticized him at the time, which he used to find very upsetting.
That same March, RM collaborated with hip hop project group MFBTY, EE and Dino J on the song "Bucku Bucku". He featured in the song's music video and also had a cameo appearance in a music video for another song by MFBTY, "Bang Diggy Bang Bang".
He released his first solo mixtape in the same year, titled 'RM'. It's a work where Namjoon 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.
Following RM's release, he featured along with Kwon Jin-ah on Primary's "U" that April. In August, RM collaborated with Marvel for Fantastic Four's soundtrack in Korea, releasing the digital single, "Fantastic" featuring Mandy Ventrice.
In August 2016, vocal duo Homme released a single titled "Dilemma", which was co-produced by RM and Bang Si-hyuk.
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 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.
In December, RM collaborated on a remix of Fall Out Boy's song "Champion". The track reached number 18 on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles and helped RM reach number 46 on the Emerging Artists Chart for the week of January 8, 2018.
In November, RM also collaborated with Tiger JK on his last and final album under the stage name Drunken Tiger, featuring on the track "Timeless". Tiger JK originally expected RM's lyrics to contain self-praise, which was the trend of rap at the time; RM instead wrote lyrics about leaving behind the historical meaning of Drunken Tiger's name.
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.
On March 25, 2019, Honne announced that RM would feature on their remake of "Crying Over You" alongside singer BEKA, which was released on March 27.
The same day, Big Hit Entertainment released the song "Persona" as a trailer for BTS' EP Map of the Soul: Persona, performed as a solo by RM.
In 2019 Lil Nas X called RM for one of the remixes of his hit "Old Town Road". And this collab gave Namjoon and the other BTS members a chance to perform along with Lil Nas X for the first time on the 2019 edition of the Grammy's stage.
On December 29, it was announced that RM would feature on Younha's track "Winter Flower", released on January 6, 2020.

English translation
Thank God that I can live
Thank God that I can breathe
Thank God that I can spit
Thank God that I can dream
I can see this beautiful and hideous world
Even while someone else is dying, I can snore
Nobody knows but me, whether I’m happy or sad
When people ask me who I want to be reborn as, I always choose me
I can tell ya, if I can’t prove it
Once I die, go spit on my grave
Fuck you this is my own god rappin’
It’s alright if I don’t become a die legend cuz I’m my legend
Do you know that fire doesn’t have a shadow
Then whether I’ll become fire or light, that’s my question
I’ll become a spark, and darkness in the day
Since when it’s bright I close them for a while and reopen my eyes when others sleep
For the fact that I can even feel pain, I thank you
If there is such a thing as god, I tell you
Yo, this is god rap
I don’t have a thing such as religion because I’m my own god
Whatever trials come my way, I just clasp my hands together
And then tell myself again, Amen
Yo, this is god rap
I don’t have a thing such as religion because I’m my own god
Whatever trials come my way, I just clasp my hands together
And then tell myself again, Amen
Yo, this is god rap
I don’t have a thing such as religion because I’m my own god
Whatever trials come my way, I just clasp my hands together
And then tell myself again, Amen
Once I used to be an aspiring rapper like you
I belittled anyone easily and honored anyone easily like a pseudo-religion
I guess I wanted to feel better about my reality
Since I was only an amateur rapper
I said I was different, and that my tastes were not cheap
I rejected pretty much everything, because I thought that was what’s cool
Whether in the past or now, my desiring faith has always been the same
Back then I was blind, but now, I’ve seen me
The one who saves me, the enemy that pushes me
The distant cliff, they’re all me
Hey, silly humans, you can become a god too
Lift up your heads properly and try imitating Buddha’s smile
Jesus’ footsteps, Allah’s prayers
Even Maria’s love, they’re all within you
This is an unconditional salvation and an unconditional ideology
I am my own god, my own world. All of my symbol
Yo, this is god rap
I don’t have a thing such as religion because I’m my own god
Whatever trials come my way, I just clasp my hands together
And then tell myself again, AMEN
Yo, this is god rap
I don’t have a thing such as religion because I’m my own god
Whatever trials come my way, I just clasp my hands together
And then tell myself again, AMEN
Yo, this is god rap
I don’t have a thing such as religion because I’m my own god
Whatever trials come my way, I just clasp my hands together
And then tell myself again, AMEN
