In 2002, YANKIE and the talented topbob came together to form the group TBNY. The group’s self-produced EP album sold over 3000 copies at their live shows alone and they quickly gained a solid fanbase and respect for their music. Yankie has worked with artists like Dynamicduo, Primary, Epik High, Suga of BTS and more, showing his wide spectrum of rapping styles. TBNY has stopped performing for the time being as topbob became a member of Twins in 2010. Yankie went on to release a solo album in 2011 and continues to showcase his skills by working with many other musicians.
Cheers

We gonna have a party (remember? remember)
오랜만이야 내 브라더 (잘 지냈지)
고생한 널 위해 브라보 (눌러보는 번호)
들뜨는 맘 금요일 밤 전화기 ring, ring
내 넘버원 안투라지 친구들이 미친 듯
보고 싶어 오늘 질러 보는 기합
점잖은 척하던 친구도 오늘은 바쁘네
겁 많은 척하던 미스도 오늘은 화끈해
Girl (late night)
밤새 (get high) with you (and I)
너와 같이 있고 싶어 투나잇
난 너에 지니, 오늘의 주인은 너야 (right)
To the sky, baby, on a magic carpet ride
I'm lookin fly, oh baby
구름 위로 걸어가
널 스캔 해 너의 body
I came to party up
넌 다신 날 못 볼지도 몰라 (hoo)
계속 이렇게 뛰는 내 맘 넌 알아야 해 ya (너는 알아야 해)
지금이 지나면 넌 다시 날 찾을지도 몰라 (hoo)
오늘만 날 믿고 내 옆으로 다가와봐 girl
Eh, I came to party up
Club going up 우린 오르지 오르지
우린 우주에서 놀지 술이 안 떨어지지
네가 몇 살인지 모르지 모르지만
오늘이 지나면 남들과 어울리지 어울리지
못 할거라 난 생각해서 (미안해)
내 존재 자체가 죄 같애 (미안해)
근데 그녀의 몸맨 범죄 같애
우리가 도주할 때 탈 자동차는 하얀색 R8 (skrt)
음 경찰차가 우릴 쫓아
음악이 너무 크고 속도가 너무 빠르대
I'm! Sorry Mr. Officer
해가 뜨기 전에 빨리 도망 가야 돼 (yeah)
I'm lookin' fly oh baby
하늘 위로 걸어가
Now you can dance like crazy
I came to party up
넌 다신 날 못 볼지도 몰라 (hoo)
계속 이렇게 뛰는 내 맘 넌 알아야 해 ya (너는 알아야 해)
지금이 지나면 넌 다시 날 찾을지도 몰라 (hoo)
오늘만 날 믿고 내 옆으로 다가와봐 girl
Eh, I came to party up
Uh 디제이는 정신 없이 맞춰 다음 곡의 싱크
천장에 붙은 조명이 내게 윙크
내 스텝은 태엽이 다 풀려가는 로봇
내 플라스틱 컵 안에 채워진 크렌베리 주스
그녀가 와서 보드카를 부어
흐느적 댄스 플로어를 투어 하는 부엉이
It's New Year
너의 엉덩이를 위해 건배 제의
아름다운 이 밤을 위한 moonwalk (hey baby)
바깥 분위기는 아직 차갑군
여긴 한여름 반팔 티 안에 야자수
My baby momma 이곳엔 평화 재미있으니
편하게 받아들여 너와 나의 케미스트리
I came to party up
넌 다신 날 못 볼지도 몰라
자꾸 이렇게 뛰는 내 맘 어떡해야 해 (너는 알아야 해)
지금이 지나면 넌 다시 날 찾을지도 몰라
오늘만 널 믿고 네 옆으로 다가갈게 girl
Eh, I need you hurry up (hurry up)
In the lyrics of Yankie's song "Cheers", it starts off with the anticipation and excitement for a party, setting the festive mood with the repetition of the phrase "We're having a party, yeah" and a nostalgic mention of past parties with the line "We gonna have a party (remember? remember)". The lyrics then delve into a sense of reunion and celebration, with references to close friends ("내 브라더") and the effort to make them feel appreciated and acknowledged. The mention of the buzzing feeling on a Friday night and eagerly awaiting phone calls show the eagerness to let loose and enjoy the night with friends.
As the song progresses, the lyrics delve into a shift in behavior, where even friends who usually act reserved are shown to be busy and hesitant individuals are depicted as lively and bold on this particular occasion. The singer expresses a desire to spend time with a special someone, emphasizing the importance of the present moment and portraying a sense of adventure and freedom with the imagery of a magic carpet ride. The lyrics convey a carefree attitude and a desire to make the most of the night, with a declaration of readiness to party and an assurance that the person addressed should trust in the singer's intentions.
The chorus embodies the party atmosphere with references to a bustling club setting and a carefree attitude towards the passage of time, with the singer acknowledging potential consequences but opting to revel in the moment alongside the person they are with. The narrative takes a more rebellious turn as the lyrics mention evading the police in a high-speed pursuit, showcasing a sense of risk-taking and living in the moment, and apologizing to authority figures for breaking the rules. The chorus builds on the idea of having a good time and being unapologetically oneself, encapsulating the reckless abandon of a night out.
The final verses bring the lyrics back to the essence of the party, with vivid descriptions of the DJ's energy, the playful interactions on the dance floor, and toasting to a beautiful night with moonwalk references. The inclusion of details like the chilly outdoor ambiance contrasting with the warmth inside and the acceptance of peaceful enjoyment create a sense of harmony and contentment. The song ends on a note of urgency and longing, with a plea to a significant other to hurry up and join in the festivities, capturing the essence of living in the present moment and cherishing connections amidst the revelry of the party.
