Leessang is a South Korean hip-hop duo consisting of Kang Hee-gun (Gary) and Gil Seong-joon (Gil). Formed in 2002, they initially started as part of the hip-hop collective Honey Family, evolving into their own identity with their debut album "Leessang of Honey Family" in 2002. The duo quickly became known for their unique blend of hip-hop and lyrical depth, with Gil taking on the role of the producer and main vocalist while Gary contributed as the main rapper and lyricist.

Over the years, Leessang has garnered critical and commercial success, departing from mainstream K-pop to establish themselves as one of the leading voices in Korean hip-hop. With emotionally charged lyrics and a signature sound that often incorporates elements of jazz and blues, they have released a string of successful albums, including "Library Of Soul," "Black Sun," "재, 계발," and the chart-topping "AsuRaBalBalTa." Their music often explores themes of love, hardship, and human emotion, resonating with a wide audience. Despite their success, they remain true to their artistic roots and continue to influence the Korean hip-hop scene. Their unplugged album and other projects like "이단옆차기 프로젝트 Vol.02" illustrate their versatility and continued relevance in the music industry.
