It's not a horn, it is a Chinese erhu, stringed instrument played with a bow, similar to a violin.

[@Avatar_Yoshi]

Are you sure? It sounds like a trumpet with a mute (no hate here, just genuinely curious and want to discuss)

[@rubiirae]

@@Avatar_Yoshi it's indeed erhu (or haegeum in korean), xg producers have confirmed it. you can look up what erhu sounds like

[@Go90go90-q4h]

@@Avatar_YoshiYes the string instrument can sound like that. I’m sure they edited the sound quite a bit to get the result but the erhu does give off that squeaky sound like from a brass instrument

[@chankang3733]

It's a senap. A traditional Korean horn instrument.

All 7 members of XG including singers were rapping for this song. XG is a Japanese girl group living in South Korea and Japan as they travel back and forth. They are inspired by K-Pop, Japanese, and western artists. Their label, XGALZ, call them X-Pop. They can sing, dance, and rap. They were thoroughly trained for about 5 years. Their goal is inspire younger generation and break down stereotypes. Beside their main songs, they also have extra contents. They show their dance skills with their XG Moves series. They even have their dance practice videos for their songs which they will do live. With their XG Tape, they do mixtapes. With their XG Vox series, they do cover songs of other artists like TLC. Check out their R&B song, Winter Without You. Even better, check out them performing live on The First Take in a live studio or on It’s Live with a live band. 😃

[@kingbyouchoob2488]

Brother you been missing out on XG big time. They the flyest baddest crew out there today. Top to bottom the most talented & charismatic group in the game. Ever since they debuted just a little 2 years ago they have blown people minds. XG is 7 member Japanese group based out of Korea who sing/rap in English. Their main inspirations growing up was old skool HipHop/R&B/Rap/. You need to check out some of their huge global hits "Left Right" "Shooting Star" GRL GVNG" and their legendary viral cypher "XG TAPE #2 GALZ XYPHER" Even R&B legend Ciara jumped on the official "Left Right" remix with Jackson Wang. I'm old skool and ill tell you i havent seen a group with so much raw talent, charisma and stage presence in a VERY long time.

[@robertm1015]

You definitely need to go down the rabbit hole of xg.. They literally have it all, top tier vocals, best rap line of a group thats come out in the last few years, more swag than just about any group, dancing is on point. They have a lot of side content besides their mv and song releases that is also great content. You should check out their Move 2 set, individual dancing, it gives a good idea of their individual styles. Theres also the vox series, and tape series (vocals and rapping). It all puts into perspective who the group is and what theyre about, along with individual personalities to a degree. Cocona (the one who shaved her head in the video) tends to get the most attention from reactors or social media (in one of the Tape vids, it mentions her going viral) because of her flow and natural swag, she was born for it. Jurin, Maya, and Harvey rounding out the 4 member rap line are all top tier as well. Juria, Hinata, and Chisa, the vocal line all came through on this heavy rap track, just like the others had come through on vocal tracks in the past, showing that every member is capable as an all rounder in the group and can step up at any time. The group honestly just has it all, and I don't think anyone else in the game now could have pull things off the way they do

XG is completely fluent in Korean and Japanese but they choose to sing/rap in English because they are a Global Girl Group.

REACT TO XG MAYA MILLION CASH. You wont be disappointed 🥵

[@naivet]

If you like this you should also react to [XG TAPE #2] GALZ XYPHER (COCONA, MAYA, HARVEY, JURIN), they murdered the beats here too. The thing about XG is that they weren't forced to make Rap and RnB without being fully into it, they actually love OG music from the 80s/90s and so. That's why they can actually rap and murder the beats.

[@KRapPsychic]

Main instrument is a Chinese Erhu. The erhu (Chinese: 二胡; pinyin: èrhú; [aɻ˥˩xu˧˥]) is a Chinese two-stringed bowed musical instrument, more specifically a spike fiddle, which may also be called a southern fiddle, and is sometimes known in the Western world as the Chinese violin or a Chinese two-stringed fiddle. It is used as a solo instrument as well as in small ensembles and large orchestras. It is the most popular of the huqin family of traditional bowed string instruments used by various ethnic groups of China. As a very versatile instrument, the erhu is used in both traditional and contemporary music arrangements, such as pop, rock and jazz.
