“What2do” is a collaboration track featuring Crush, who has recently topped major music charts through his new song “Don’t Forget,” and another soulful R&B artist Jeff Bernat, who has garnered much attention with “Call You Mine.”

As the title implies, the song depicts an empty feeling after the breakup of a relationship accompanied by a light hip-hop beat and soft piano rhythm.

Dean has been receiving attention for his unusual music career. He made his debut as a producer in the United States first. Last year, he tried out in K-pop by releasing “Pour Up” featuring Zico, which was nominated for the Best R&B Song award at the Korean Music Awards.

The rising star also drew public attention by affiliating with an array of red-hot artists, including Dok2, Zion T, Dynamic Duo and artists his own age who were born in 1992 -- Zico and Crush. Fans have commented on how the three of them -- the “92 Line” -- have released songs consecutively in January, supporting and competing with each other.
