In this episode of Anatomy of a Song, I take a closer look at the vocal identity of YG boy groups by stripping the production back and listening to what’s really carrying the music.

Using songs like Haru Haru by BIGBANG, Baby Baby by WINNER, Goodbye Road by iKON, and Orange by TREASURE, I compare how each group approaches tone, delivery and emotional weight.

YG is often known for style, attitude and distinct vocal colour over traditional technique but how does that translate across generations?

Using my ranking system — civilian, athlete, Olympian or world class — I evaluate how these performances hold up once everything else is stripped away.
