Niliria
"Niliria" is a song by K-pop musician G-Dragon, featuring American recording artist Missy Elliott from G-Dragon's second studio album, Coup d'Etat (2013). To date, it remains as one of the six songs from the album to enter the top ten on South Korea's Gaon Singles Chart. On 2 December 2013, the song ranked number 32 on Complex's The 50 Best Songs of 2013.
Background
Vocals for the song were recorded in 2011 via e-mail and telephone. On 23 January 2013, Missy Elliott revealed via Twitter that she had worked with G-Dragon on the track alongside another titled "Chugalug," which was never released. Both songs were chiefly produced by Teddy Park. In June 2013, G-Dragon's label YG Entertainment released a statement discussing the making of the song and went in-depth of Elliott's involvement. The label stated that the song "[broke] away from the convention with a hint of Korean taste," and added that "the tinge of a voice sample from [the] Korean traditional folk song 'Nilliliya' [made] it a one-of-a-kind, classy hip-hop track." G-Dragon at first did not think about including Elliott during the early recording process because of the motive of using a traditional Korean folk song. However, he felt a strong desire to feature "more of a past" female artist, and enlisted Elliott in the midst of it all because he was a fan of her work.

New Holy War
by: Within The RuinsWe are wretched beings, born into sin.
The only moments of purity begin seconds away from the womb.
Wretched beings brain washed from birth. Not ever given a chance to splurge.
Not fortunate enough to think free. We are our own worst enemy.
Knowledge can be used as a key. Knowledge can be used as a weapon.
Faith can lead you to find your peace. Faith can lead you to the deceased.
Man gave man reasons to die. Man created reasons to fight.
Man created the man in the sky. Man created the question why.
We will end our world, and milk it for all it's worth.
We are our own worst enemy.
Your book of revelations will come true.
It will be nothing of what you once knew.
Of what you once knew.
Your fellow man will turn on you. Say good bye to a world you once knew.
Now prepare for the new holy war.
Weaponize and keep your God in mind.
As you prepare to slay your fellow man.
It is all glorified in his name.
This is disorder, this true horror.
This is a mass genocide.
A race to heaven's gates, with no promise of getting inside.
Weaponize keep your God in mind.
