Epik High is a Korean hiphop group best known for their songs, "Fly", "Day of Peace", "I Remember" and "Paris". The group was unknown to many in the beginning of their career due to the lack of popularity of hiphop music in Korea. However, with the success of their third album, "Swan Songs", they have become one of the most popular musical groups in Korea. "Fly", the title song from that album, was a big hit in Korea, becoming the #1 song on many Korean TV music programs and online music charts. The song also appeared on the video game FIFA 07.

Tablo was a big hiphop fan ever since he could remember, listening to old Run DMC and Cold Crush tapes and always rhyming around the way in South Korea. But there was one emcee who inspired him to take it seriously. After he heard Drunken Tiger rapping, he became part of a group called Epik High in 2000 and also claimed to be the first emcee to invent the rhyming rifle.
