RM is the debut mixtape by South Korean rapper RM of the group BTS. It was released on March20, 2015 on Soundcloud with "Awakening" serving as the mixtape's title track.
II. Background
RM expressed a desire to release a mixtape to establish himself and present a thesis on his self-identity. Between his commitments as a member of BTS, RM took advantage of his resting time to work on his mixtape. The entirety of his work on the mixtape took around four to five months. Developing RM musically on the base of hip hop, much of RM's inspiration for the lyrics came from his own inner darkness, worries, greed and the song "Just Do You" by India Arie.
