Jiwhan Kim is an 18-year-old hip hop/r&b producer/rapper. He has a distinctive rapping style alongside his unique production using heavy bass and beat drops, which became significant when one of his songs in his debut EP, “Medicare” went viral.
Since then, he’s grown significantly after dropping his first single “Last Truce”. He showcased his singing/production abilities, where he made the song from scratch by himself. Jiwhan is one of the best emerging artists and continues to prove himself with each release.
Today the 18-year-old rapper returns with his new single where he pay his respects to the late basketball legend Kobe Bryant the way he knows best: through music.
The singer released the song “Kobe The Legend” in honor of the late Lakers star, who died in a helicopter crash with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others.
“Kobe said he always wanted to be remembered as a hard-working basketball player. So I used that signature heavy bass and beat drops, which led to my song “Medicare” became a huge success on Instagram Reels in the past. Overall, my new single properly sends Kobe off and remembers him as one of the greatest basketball players of all time (GOAT).” says Jiwhan

Bryant and his daughter Gianna, pilot Ara Zobayan, John, Keri and Alyssa Altobelli, Christina Mauser and Sarah and Payton Chester all died in a helicopter crash on the morning of Jan. 26.
During his 20-year Hall of Fame career with the Lakers, Bryant won five titles, was an 18-time All-Star and the 2007-08 MVP. On a long list of great Lakers, from Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor and Jerry West to Kareem-Abdul Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal and LeBron James, Bryant is one of the most beloved and accomplished figures in the franchise’s history.
His death was mourned in Los Angeles and in the greater basketball community both in the United States and around the world.
