“Simon D is coming back as you know and we knows fans are excited. He apparently knows it too as he’s helping ease the wait with his a pre-release track!
“Simon Dominic” is actually a new version of his old mixtape “Simon Simon” which he released back when he was underground. A different version of that mixtape, “Simon Dominic 2014” was also unofficially released last year.
Everything about this track is supposed to symbolize and represent Simon D, from the title to the content. That’s why they’re releasing it ahead of time, as a signal to let people know about his comeback.”

Simon says
1998′ 당시 내 고향은 힙합 불모지
Ra.D와 Keeproots, 두 사람은 나의 OG
난 Bad Boy 대신에 교복에 flip-flop
쉬는 시간엔 축구보다 힙합 CD와 beatbox
라이브 클럽이 콜라텍으로 바뀌던 시기쯤에
무대를 잃었던 내 라임들은 부지기수
지금은 찾을 수도 없는 그 시절 내 demo tape
그때보다 순수한 걸 이젠 못 내놓네
부대 똥다리 또 부산역 광장에서
freestyle 하던 때가 나의 첫 번째 primetime
가리온이 부산에 떴다 하면
짝퉁 백포스 꺼내 신고선 어디든 달려갔고
Master Plan 보면서 부러웠던 서울
내 꿈은 기차로 딱 네 시간 거리에 있었어도
부모님 믿음 없인 힘이 없던 내 a.k.a.
어쨌건 음악은 내 삶의 첫걸음을 떼게 했네
모든 남자들은 S’up
모든 여자들은 ass up
you can call me Simon D.o.m.i.n.i.c
더 크게 불러줘 say my name say my name
Simon, Simon Dominic
Simon D.o.m.i.n.i.c oh, oh

Simon D.o.m.i.n.i.c oh, oh
힙합이 밥도 안 맥여 준다고
남 탓하던 놈들은 옆에 안 뒀지
내 성격 좀 tight했거든
away game에 더 강했던 hometown hero
대구에서 나 같은 놈 하나 만난 뒤로 (game changed)
이센스와 난 갱상 finest two 촌놈 styles
서울의 mc들을 먹어 치우는 꿈
2008, 앨범 한 장 없었어도 underground kingz
섭외 1순위에 우릴 매번 올려놨지
믹스테잎은 다 sold out
아메바 계약 후엔
내가 번 돈만 본 다음, 몇몇은 배 아프대
오해 가득한 술자리에선 talk dirty 2 em’
잃은 게 좀 많지만 다 추억거리뿐인
20대가 남긴 건 사라질 인기와 돈 따위
물론 지금의 내가 있기까지의 도움닫기
밤낮 없던 압박감들 다 잊지 못해도
기억할 건 내 이름과 이센스, team forever
모든 남자들은 S’up
모든 여자들은 ass up

always on my grind
여러 번의 테이크에 이제 인트로 하나를 잘 끝냈네
차가운 새벽은 몇 번이나 날 죽이고서
다음날 밤에 다시 뜨겁게 부활시켜줬어
나의 제2막
책임감이 날 애타게 한 뒤에
내 야망은 쉽게 눈 안 떠 top 100 따위엔
돈이 다가 아냐 i just wanna rhyme with my homies
누릴 수 있을 때 누리는 거야
난 오직 음악에 살 거야 그게 내 성공의 좌표
one love 따윈 개나 주고 다들 눈에 힘 빡 줘

Simon says
1998 my hometown was hiphop sterile
Ra.D and Keeproots are my OGs
Instead of a bad boy, I wore school uniforms and flipflops
During breaks, I listened to hiphop CDs and beatbox instead of soccer
Just when live clubs turned into colatheques
My rhymes lost its stage but grew countless
I can’t even find those demo tapes from that time anymore
I can’t release anything more pure than that
Freestyling on the streets of Busan to the Busan station square was my first primetime
When I heard Garion was in Busan
I wore my fake white air forces and ran to where he was
I watched Master Plan on TV and was jealous of Seoul
My dreams were exactly four hours by train
But without my parent’s trust, my a.k.a had no strength
Anyway, music allowed me to take my first step in life
All the guys, sup
All the ladies, ass up
you can call me Simon D.o.m.i.n.i.c
Say it louder, say my name say my name
Simon, Simon Dominic
Simon D.o.m.i.n.i.c oh, oh
Simon, Simon Dominic
Simon D.o.m.i.n.i.c oh, oh
All those who said hiphop couldn’t make money and blamed others
I didn’t keep them by my side
Cuz my personality was a bit tight
I was the hometown hero who was better at away games
After a guy like me was born in Daegu (game changed)
E-Sens and I were the origins, finest two country guy styles
Had a dream of eating up Seoul MCs
2008, without a single album, we were underground kingz
We were always on the top of the recruiting list
Mixtapes were all sold out
After signing with Amoeba
They saw how much I made and started being jealous
Filled with misunderstandings, I talked dirty 2 em as we were drinking
I did lose a lot but they all become memories
What the twenties leave behind are disappearing popularity and money
Of course there was the stepping stone to where I am now
Though I can’t forget the pressure that was there day and night
Always remember my name and E-Sens, team forever
All the guys, sup
All the ladies, ass up
you can call me Simon D.o.m.i.n.i.c
Say it louder, say my name say my name
Simon, Simon Dominic
Simon D.o.m.i.n.i.c oh, oh
Simon, Simon Dominic
Simon D.o.m.i.n.i.c oh, oh
always on my grind
After several takes, I finally got the intro down
The cold dawn kills me several times
Then it hotly revives me the next night
My second chapter
After responsibility burned me up
My ambition couldn’t easily open its eyes to the top 100
Cuz money isn’t everything, I just wanna rhyme with my homies
Enjoy it while you can
I’m only gonna live for music, that’s the motto to my success
One love? Give it to the dogs and open your eyes
Rapper vs rapper, label vs label
Major vs minor, everything vs my name
Simon, Simon Dominic
Simon D.o.m.i.n.i.c oh, oh
Simon, Simon Dominic
Simon D.o.m.i.n.i.c oh, oh
