Zhao Ke's new album 'Migration with Temperature' tour

As a rapper of the Air League, Zhao Ke came into prominence when the Air League competed in the music variety show "The Coming One: Super Band" Season I in 2020. Since then, Zhao, who persisted in his personal way of expression, has released original music works such as "Satisfied," "Heartbeat," and "No Reason to Blame You." In this debut album, Zhao attempts to go beyond rap to a wider music world that combines pop, hip hop, and urban styles; it features Zhao's heartbreaking melodies and chill-inducing voice, invested with both warmth and coldness for the audience to appreciate.
