T.O.P Biography

T.O.P is one of the most popular and richest Rapper who was born on November 4, 1987 in Songpa District, Seoul, South Korea.

Born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, Choi Seung-hyun is the great nephew of Korea’s pioneering abstract art artist Kim Whanki and grew up in contact with art due to his family. Since a young age, Choi became interested in hip hop. He and fellow future Big Bang member Kwon Ji-yong were “neighborhood friend[s] from middle school” and often danced and rapped together. Although Kwon later moved away and the two “became distant”, Choi was contacted by Kwon when YG Entertainment, Kwon’s record label, was scouting for possible candidates to create a boy group. By then, Choi had already performed on many underground stages at hip hop clubs and established a reputation as an underground rapper with the stage name Tempo. In 2003 under the name of Tempo, he was the winner of KBS Radio’s Rap Battle. After contact, Choi subsequently recorded several demos with Kwon and sent them to Yang Hyun-suk, CEO of YG Entertainment, who later asked he to audition. Choi was initially rejected by the record label, which deemed him too “chubby” to fit the “idealistic version” of an idol. He later “went home and exercised really hard because I wanted to join YG Entertainment,” losing 20 kg in 40 days. Six months later, Choi returned for another audition and was signed.

Following the release of the band’s albums and singles, T.O.P. began working on his solo career. In April 2007, he was featured with fellow Big Bang members Taeyang and G-Dragon on singer Lexy’s single “Super Fly” for her album Rush. Later that summer, he appeared as an actor in Red Roc’s “Hello” music video. He became the first member of Big Bang to venture into acting, starring in the KBS2 drama I Am Sam, portraying the school’s top fighter, Chae Musin. Despite wanting to use his stage name when acting, believing it reflects his professional side more, he is often billed with his real name, with his stage name included in parenthesis. He also became a host of MBC’s music program Music Core.

T.O.P and Big Bang have been praised for their individuality and ability to fuse a pop sound with rap, R&B and dance elements. T.O.P possesses a bass vocal range. Columnist Jeff Benjamin of Billboard K-Town noted how he is known for his low-bass timbre rapping, while fellow journalist Tamar Herman, wrote that T.O.P’s rap is “an integral part to the group’s sound” and that he tends to favor an “confident, almost mocking, tone”. Adrienne Stanley of Kpop Starz also praised the rapper for his “speed and accuracy” when delivering bars. Both his solo releases – “Turn It Up” and “Doom Dada” – are hip hop influenced, with the latter drawing critical acclaim for its “lyrical rhythms [that] are both inviting and alienating” from Dazed magazine, that declared that T.O.P was leading the evolution of K-Pop. Additionally, Billboard noted how the song’s melody “is magnetizing with its whirring synths, tribal beats, and chanting, all of which pale in comparison to the rapper’s aggressive, multi-tonal delivery of his verses,” affirming that T.O.P “revealed his true artistry” with the song.
