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.

Yankie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
난 관심 없는 듯 내 핏줄 그대들의 모범학생?
깨끗한 머리 깨끗한 heart? true 넬슨 만델라?
더러운 몸 더러운 소울 fake 난 이와 반대야!
그 찌꺼기로 찍어 쓰는 잉크 뚝뚝 떨어져
써가면 써갈수록 썼던 가면이 크랙 이가 벌어져
호흡이 아닌 hope이 막혀 gotta cut my throat
I'm in trouble god 이곳은 어딘가 주여
어떤 죄를 지었길래 난 어둠에 던져 졌을까 뿌연
연기가 보여 랜덤한 단어들의 입김을 토해
I see dead people 죽은 시인들이 내 주위를 끄네
이제 놓아줘 난 갈 길이 있어 몇 명을 더 원해
난 내 가족도 죽였었지 정확히는 그들의 기대
수 백번 기도를 올려도 날 옭아매는 악의 시험
guilty와 pleasure 매번 닥치는 위험
거울 속에 비친 내 모습 지난 나를 다 지우고
멈춘 내 발길에 잠을 깨워 wake up
수난 날 밤에 길을 나서는 예수
어쩌면 십자가는 두 길이 만나는걸 뜻할지도
거친 고통 모욕 갈등 속 struggle
누군가 침을 뱉고 또 밀려온 이 가시 투성의 정글
빛이 밝을수록 더 진해지는 그림자
내칠수록 더 조여오는 족쇄가 이빨을 드민다
두 종류의 모습 두 가지의 행보
어떤 놈이 크게 웃고 또 고개를 숙일까
이 길이 신이 택하신 내가 거쳐가야 할 관문
만약 그렇다면 달게 받겠어 악마와 함께 춤을
같이 걸어 둘 중 하나는 신의 작품 하나는 상품
으로 나뉘겠지 그 결과 끝까지 가보자 이 앙상블
내 한걸음 한걸음이 날 믿는 이들에게 부족한
거름이 될 수 있게 왕관과 추종자 리더와 따르는 자
부리는 자와 일꾼 그 따위는 의미 없어 다 신기루 일뿐
거울 속에 비친 내 모습 지난 시간 다 비우고
멈춘 내 발길에 날개를 달아 wake up
거울 속에 비친 내 모습 지난 시간 다 비우고
멈춘 내 발길에 날개를 달아 fly high
The lyrics of Yankie feat. Suran's song "Mirror" are introspective and powerful, delving into the themes of identity, self-reflection, and self-acceptance. The song starts with the rapper questioning the authenticity of others and showcasing his willingness to be himself, no matter how messy it may seem. He talks about how people strive to portray a clean image with a pure heart but in reality, they are fake. The artist then confronts his own demons and the struggles with the hopelessness of his situation. He talks about his own failures and mistakes and how they have led him to be haunted by the "dead people" surrounding him. He then pleads to be released from the grip of the past that holds him back from moving forward and seeing his true self in the mirror.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the desire for the artist to wake up and break free from the chains of the past. He walks the path of Jesus, who suffered on the cross for others, and he draws comparisons between his pain and struggle with those of Jesus. The second verse highlights the duality of life and the paths that we choose to follow. The artist questions whether he is on the right path and whether he is creating something meaningful or if he is just a pawn in a bigger game. He aspires to be a leader rather than a mere follower and proves to be confident, even if it means walking hand in hand with the devil.
Overall, the song is a powerful message about accepting oneself and facing the demons of the past. It is about striving to be authentic and to be a leader in a world where it is easy to be consumed by the pressures of society.

다들 가짜면서 리얼 투사인 듯 포장 할 때
When everyone is pretending to be real warriors while being fake, I act as if I'm not interested, but am actually the outstanding student in your veins? Clean head, clean heart? True Nelson Mandela? Dirty body, dirty soul. I am the opposite of that!
그 찌꺼기로 찍어 쓰는 잉크 뚝뚝 떨어져
The ink that is stamped with the ragged edges spilling out, when using it, the face becomes a crack and a gap appears. It's not breathing, it's hope that is blocked, got to cut my throat. Look at me, unbelievers. The nail stuck in my throat. I'm in trouble god. Where is this place? What kind of sin did I commit that I was thrown into darkness? The smoke shows the breath of random words, I see dead people. The dead poets are surrounding me. Let me go now, I have a way to go. I killed my family. More precisely, their expectations. Pray hundreds of times, but it's a test of evil that holds me back. Guilty and pleasure, danger that comes every time.
