Red Bull has launched a new video series called Red Bull IN-YO! on its hip-hop channel Red Bull Mic. The first installment features the supergroup YAO, bringing together Awich, CHICO CARLITO, ONE OK ROCK, and Paledusk for a cross-genre session blending hip-hop and rock. The video is now available on YouTube.
The new Red Bull IN-YO! series is built around the concept of yin and yang, reinterpreting the opposing forces as hip-hop's rhyme and the incoming energy of other genres. The title YAO draws from the same Chinese philosophical root. The first video, released Monday evening, shows the four groups working together in a session format. Red Bull Mic, the company's hip-hop-dedicated YouTube channel, will host future installments that continue pairing hip-hop artists with musicians from rock and other genres.
