Label
VLACKSQUAD
VLACKSQUAD (블랙스쿼드) is a Seoul independent label built around hip-hop, R&B, and emotionally direct pop, with a launch identity that rejects polish for polish's sake. The official site reduces the pitch to one clean line: no gimmicks, no filters, just raw hip-hop.
The label's first real proof point is ZELO. VLACKSQUAD opened 2026 by signing the former B.A.P member, then rolled into his single Cola Comigo and live activity as an early statement of intent. That makes the company less interesting as a startup logo and more interesting as a focused artist-development bet inside Korea's independent label lane.
