If “Shingiru (Mirage)” defined C JAMM’s early career, “Pokerface” stands as the anthem of his artistic rebirth. Released in 2019 as part of the album KEUNG, this track showcases the rapper’s dramatic shift in style — one that boldly embraces rock influences while retaining his raw hip-hop energy.
🎸 Rock Energy Meets Hip-Hop Flow
Among his post-style-change works, Pokerface carries the strongest rock flavor. The restless, almost chaotic drum beats mirror a mind in turmoil, while the strained high notes — heavily layered with Auto-Tune — sound like desperate cries breaking through a wall. This fusion of emotion and sound elevates the track into a modern Korean hip-hop classic.
🏆 Critical Recognition
Its impact wasn’t just among fans. In 2020, Pokerface was nominated for “Hip-Hop Track of the Year” at the Korean Hip-Hop Awards, further cementing its place in the genre’s history.
🎧 Why Korean Listeners Love It
- Emotional rawness that cuts through the production.
- Rock-inspired instrumentals rarely heard in Korean hip-hop.
- Symbolic of C JAMM’s transformation, marking a new era in his artistry.
For many Korean hip-hop fans, this isn’t just a song — it’s a statement. Pokerface is the sound of an artist breaking free, unafraid to scream his truth.
