Seoul Fever

Dumbfoundead (DFD) and David Choi happened to be in South Korea at the same time (or maybe it was planned), and collaborated on "Seoul Fever". DFD and David partnered with Seoul City in creating a music video for "Seoul Fever". Seoul City is known for creating music videos with artists, while at the same time promoting the treasures of Seoul. It's basically their tourist marketing strategy, and it works because every time I watch one of their videos I want to go to Seoul, South Korea. Seoul City usually uses kpop artists to help with promoting the city, so I was surprised and happy when I saw DFD and David featured in one. What is special about this music video is that they wrote and composed "Seoul Fever", and the song actually illustrates the many treasures of Seoul. I'm glad Seoul City allowed DFD and David to be true to their styles, and be free to sing and rap about whatever, just as long as it was promoting Seoul in some way.  "Seoul Fever" has a beautiful melody sung by David, which is paired well with DFD's lyrical flow.  Seoul City has also set up a link to allow people to download "Seoul Fever" for FREE, here.  Warning: after watching and listening to "Seoul Fever" you may want to go to Seoul, South Korea.  But don't let that stop you from checking out the song and music video to "Seoul Fever"!
