SEOUL, May 2 — Rapper Cheetah will roll out a new single titled "18 Delusions" on Children's day next week in collaboration with DJ "NewJeans-nim," a persona of comedian Yoon Sung-ho, her agency Double X Entertainment announced on Friday..

 

"18 Delusions," to be released on Monday, humorously explores Buddhist concepts such as the physical body, desire, and worldly afflictions through a hip-hop lens. The track is structured as a Q&A, with Cheetah and NewJeans-nim exchanging sharp questions and witty answers.

 

This marks Cheetah’s first release in nearly two years since her 2023 digital single "Polyphony." Her collaborator NewJeans-nim has gained attention for blending Buddhist teachings with EDM through songs like "Buddha Handsome" and "Rebirth in Paradise."
