Soul Company

In 2007, Loptimist was signed by Soul Company, one of the major Korean hip hop record producers in Seoul, South Korea. At that time, Loptimist was well known in and outside of South Korea. Shortly thereafter, Loptimist became one of the leading stars for Soul Company, alongside with his fellow rapper, The Quiett. Unfortunately, Soul Company had to disband due to the high cost in covering every clients' unique rapping style and numerous musical productions. This was sad news for Korean hip hop fans worldwide.
