Korean American hip hop artist and record label CEO Jay Park has been named the Executive Music and Entertainment Advisor for multinational esports organisation Gen.G.

Park’s role will entail advising the organisation in order to bridge the gap between Korean music and gaming communities. The rapper’s first project following his new position was Gen.G’s League of Legends 2022 World Championship anthem, featuring Korean artists GroovyRoom, GEMINI and Mirani.

Titled Rollin, the song and video officially came out on October 6th. According to a release, the music video was produced by Park. Gen.G CEO, Arnold Hur, also announced Twitter that Park has also become an investor in the organisation as well as an advisor.

This is not the first collaboration between Gen.G and the hip hop titan. They co-created a League of Legends team song last year that recorded 1.4m views on YouTube. Park is reportedly a keen gamer as well as a music artist, and spent extended time with Gen.G’s League of Legends roster to create the new track.

Gen.G CEO Arnold Hur commented in a press release that he believes the intersection between gaming and music “continues to grow” and said he was excited to execute future plans with Park.

Meanwhile, Park explained his commitment to the team: “Practically every young artist I’ve worked with has mentioned how into gaming they are, so this is very exciting to be working with Gen.G to give incredible artists like GEMINI and Mirani to the global gaming audience,

“This year, being officially new to Gen.G, I wanted to make ‘Rollin’’ to pay tribute to an incredible LCK championship run for Gen.G and show my support for them as they try to make history at Worlds.”
