News of this collab between Crush and j-hope comes 2 months and 4 days since the Arson singer released his second album Jack in the Box on July 15.

The BTS idol has been on a roll this year. He debuted a stunning solo performance at Chicago’s Lollapalooza music festival and now in two months, he is back with the song Rush Hour in collaboration with Crush.

BTS fans were taken in by surprise and took to social media to express their thoughts and excitement about the song.

Fans are elated to see the BTS member back with a new collaboration.

Rush Hour is giving R&B vibes with a subtle and strong beat and considering how the Bangtan member has proved his versatile talent with non-hip-hop songs like Blue Side and Equal Sign, we are sure he will nail this as well.

Notably, this also marks Crush’s first song since he completed his military service. P NATION, Crush’s agency, asked fans to wait with bated breath for this exciting collaboration between Crush and BTS member.

“Please anticipate what kind of synergy they will boast musically as the two [artists] have showcased their close friendship on a regular basis.”

Crush was most recently featured on the track Happier from PSY's album PSY 9th, which was released in April this year. The lead single of the album, That That, was produced by j-hope's bandmate Suga.

Previously, BTS’ j-hope received a signed album from Crush and fans had predicted then the two artists will collaborate with each other.
