American DJ and electronic musician Skrillex released the music video of the track "Dirty Vibe" featuring and starring two of K-pop's biggest names - G-Dragon of Big Bang and CL of 2NE1.
Soompi described "Dirty Vibe" as one with an "addictive beat and flashy sound" that is distinct of Skrillex's music. It also noted that the song matched really well with G-Dragon and CL's rap and hip hop style.
In the music video, G-Dragon is seen in his usual hip hop fashion, donning bling, braided hair, and snapbacks. A part of the video shows him dancing along with hip-hop kids. CL, on the other hand, showed different sides of her, sporting cute pigtails, rocking an outrageous mohawk, and holding colorful water guns.
The song is one of the tracks off Skrillex's latest album, "Recess," which was released in March. According to KpopStars, after the album's release on iTunes, it reached the top spot of the electronic music chart in the United States. It also did so in other countries including Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, El Salvador, New Zealand, Paraguay, Thailand and Ukraine.
The two idols reportedly filmed the music video last summer during their visit to Los Angeles.
"After G-Dragon and CL were featured on Skrillex's new album track "Dirty Vibe," they also participated in the music video shoot," a rep from the two idol's record label YG Entertainment told MyDaily in back in August.
"G-Dragon recently performed in North America's biggest Korean-Wave convention KCON, which was hosted by CJ E&M at Memorial Sports Arena located in Los Angeles. He will shoot the music of 'Dirty Vibe' there before coming back to Korea. CL will depart for the United States to take in the shooting of the music video too," added the rep.
This was not the first time Skrillex collaborated with the Big Bang member. He lent his spinning talent to G-Dragon for his track "Coup d'Etat," which is part of the K-pop star's second album in 2013.
Meanwhile, "Dirty Vibe" also featured American DJ and music producer Diplo, who also worked with GD & TOP for "Knock Out."
Diplo is also working with CL for her next solo release. Koreaboo reported that "Dirty Vibe" was released by SB Projects, the management company founded by Scooter Braun. The company is also handling the 2NE1 leader's upcoming US debut.
