Founder and Rapper RAVI
RAVI debuted as VIXXโs main rapper in 2012. Known for their mature and darker concepts, VIXX took on the world with killer music and choreography. RAVI has participated in the composition and lyrics of many of VIXXโs work. In 2017, RAVI made his solo debut with the R.EAL1ZE mini-album, leading with โBombโ and featuring many well-known artists. With a wide network, it was only natural for the rapper to create his own company in 2019, GROOVL1N. Since then he has created a second company, L1VE, and released new music, including his second album LOVE&FIGHT.
Unique Singer Xydo
Xydo is an R&B singer who debuted in GROOVL1N in 2019. He release his first single โ#OOTD,โ showing the first of many songs that flaunt his soothing and smooth vocals. His latest releases are โIโ with MINSEO and โMe Without Youโ alongside MAMAMOO member Moonbyul. Even though Xydo is still fairly new to music, Xydo is beginning to carve out his footprint with his unique vocals.
The Show Me The Money-Winning Rapper nafla
โNaturalโ and โflavorโ are the two words that make nafla. The Show Me The Money 777 winner started his journey in music in 2013 when he released his Buttafla Effect mixtape. In 2016, the rapper officially had his Korean debut with โDope Boy.โ naflaโs latest releases are โrun!โ and โmobb tang,โ which showcase his rhythmic rapping and powerful persona.
Raspy Vocalist Cold Bay
In 2019, raspy R&B singer Cold Bay debuted in GROOVL1N with โRuined.โ Cold Bay has since released an EP and numerous singles, boasting his chill vocal tone and music-making abilities.
