More about RM and Tablo's collaborative single, Stop the Rain
On April 24, 2025, Epik High's Tablo dropped a teaser video for its collaborative single with RM, Stop the Rain, on his personal Instagram. The teaser featured the voices of both RM and Tablo with the sound of rain in the background. It also included an image of a fallen angel and a crying character.
The song was revealed to have been recorded two years ago and combines Tablo's signature lyricism with a BTS member's charismatic voice, as reported by The Korean Herald on April 25, 2025. The song is the second collaboration between the artists after they worked together on RM's solo album Indigo's track, All Day.
Tablo revealed in an Instagram video posted on April 25 the reason behind the delay in the release of the track. He explained that RM recorded his part before his military enlistment, but Tablo was quite hesitant to release it. He stated that while making the song, they were so immersed in the process that they didn't realize how personal the song had become.
He further explained that after the BTS rapper left for the military, he realized that it was like his "personal journal." That left Tablo quite unsure whether to release the song or not.
But a few months back, the Lost singer contacted him and asked about the song. After listening to Tablo's inhibitions, he asked him to release it. The Epik High member shared at the end that he is not heavily promoting the song and requested fans to "take it where it needs to go.”
The song was released on May 2, 2025.
In other news, RM, along with labelmate Jimin, is nominated for Best K-Pop Artist at the 2025 American Music Awards.
