Epik High's Tablo shares more details about collab track Stop The Rain with BTS’ RM
On April 25, 2025, Tablo of the renowned hip-hop trio Epik High announced the release of his song Stop The Rain, featuring Namjoon. During his Stationhead live session on April 28, 2025, the Epik High member shared the meaning and the message behind the song.
“You know those times when you feel like you’re at rock bottom, but somehow you manage to keep falling? I think it’s a song about the rain inside of you & how we’re trying to stop that rain,” he said.
Previously, Tablo shared that the lyrics of the song are personal to both artists, and he put a lot of thought into it before deciding to release it. The song was completed before RM's military enlistment in 2023, and Tablo was concerned about whether to release the song due to the personal nature of the lyrics.
However, the BTS member contacted him asking about the song's release, and the Epik High member shared his concern. The INDIGO singer reassured him that it was fine to release the song, and that's when Tablo decided to drop Stop The Rain.
Stop The Rain is scheduled to be out on May 2, 2025, at 1 pm KST.
