And as always, fans and non-fans alike have their eyes set on BTS as they currently focus on various solo endeavors.

Recently to the joy of ARMY everywhere, it was announced that BTS' Suga would be embarking on a world tour. Whether he stands on stage as Suga or under his other moniker, Agust D, fans have no doubt that his tour will be one they do not want to miss. Now that dates have been revealed, all that's left to do is wait for tickets to become available for purchase.

Aside from waiting, fans all over the globe must also be doing a million different things to get ready for his concert. One of those things could be listening to his many solo tracks. And in case you're not sure where to start, we're here to help!

To prepare for his world tour, here are 7 solo tracks from BTS' Suga that you should definitely add to your playlist!

 

1. 'Agust D'

The BTS rapper released his first mixtape via Soundcloud in 2016. With the mixtape came this intense, rap-heavy track as a sort of introduction to Suga's other alias, Agust D. There's a noticeable difference between his two identities as 'Agust D' is hard-hitting and raw, something you would not expect from an idol member. However, it truly shows his talent as a rapper and ability to seamlessly switch between the two personas.

 

2. 'Interlude: Shadow'

While Suga is widely known for his intense rap skills, this song gives fans a taste of his beloved vocals. This solo track focuses on the theme of rising to the top and the aftermath of success. The song portrays that the life of a superstar is not all glitz and glam, but has its fair share of loneliness and darkness too. 'Interlude: Shadow' is a powerful track with thought-provoking lyrics. One listen and you will not be able to stop yourself from hitting the replay button over and over again.

 

3. 'Trivia ่ฝ‰ : Seesaw'

Like many artists, Suga loves to add in symbolism into his lyrics in order to provide more depth. Through this song, the BTS rapper compares a complicated relationship to a teetering seesaw where neither person wants to leave. The 2018 track might have an upbeat melody and dance-inducing vibe, but its lyrics pierce right through your soul. The duality this song holds is notable and deserving of all the praise.

 

4. 'People'

'People' hails from Suga's second mixtape entitled "D-2". The introspective track talks about the different people we come across in life as well as asking the age old question, "Who am I?" It really digs deep into the human condition and makes the listener ponder on various aspects of life. It's a multi-layered track that not only makes a good listen, but pulls on one's heartstrings starting from the first verse.

 

5. 'The Last'

Even if you're a casual follower of BTS, you will know that the idol group often talks about topics surrounding mental health. It makes sense, then, that Suga would do the same in his solo tracks. Through 'The Last', the talented rapper touches upon the heaviness of anxiety and depression. Suga has also been vocal on his journey with mental health, making this song all the more touching and impactful.

 

6. 'First Love'

'First Love' is somewhat of a love song, but not one many might be used to. Instead of a person, Suga reminisces about an old piano from his childhood. It's a touching, slow-tempo rap track that highlights his passion for music. He talks about how music provided him with strength, even when he was at his lowest. The power of music cannot be understated and one that many, including Suga, hold near and dear to their heart.

 

7. 'Daechwita'

'Daechwita' is unique in that it employs traditional Korean instruments to the core of its trendy beat. The hook is amazingly addictive and you might catch yourself repeating the word "daechwita" for hours to come. Even non-hip hop enthusiasts won't be able to deny how amazing 'Daechwita' sounds and stands as proof to Suga's musicality.
