Epik High
Over 50,000 copies of their fifth studio album entitled "Pieces, Part One" were pre-ordered before its release in April 2008. The album's release was followed by music videos for the singles "One", "Breakdown", and "Umbrella". After the album's success, Epik High released the EP "Lovescream" to acclaim in October, with the EP's title track "1 Minute 1 Second" topping online music charts. In early 2009, Epik High parted ways with Woollim Entertainment and founded Map The Soul, an independent record label that consisted of Epik High, , and Dok2. They released their seventh work, a "book album" entitled "魂: Map the Soul," on March 27 and distributed it exclusively on Epik High's website. Tablo stated that "魂: Map the Soul" is not the group's official sixth album, but a special project.
