A+ is the fourth EP by South Korean singer Hyuna under Cube Entertainment. It was released digitally on August 21, 2015, and physically on the 24th with the lead single "Roll Deep (Because I'm The Best)".[1][2]

Promotion

On June 4, 2015, it was announced that Hyuna was preparing for her solo comeback in August.[3][4] On August 9, Cube Entertainment released a trailer filmed in Los Angeles for her fourth mini-album A+, which was released on August 21.[1][5] On August 13, "Because I'm the Best" (or "Roll Deep" in international markets) featuring Jung Ilhoon of BtoB was announced as the album's title track.[2]

On August 20, the music video for "Because I'm The Best" was released via the 4Minute YouTube channel,[6] followed by a racier 19+ version of the video deemed the "Original Version" on September 6.[7]

On September 14, 2015, Hyuna released a short music video for the intro track "Run & Run".[8]

Reception

Billboard contributor Jeff Benjamin praised "Because I'm The Best", saying "HyunA confidently raps and chants about her swag, making playful remarks about how even her friends are jealous of her because, well, she's the best. Ilhoon [...] drops in to further the claims as the two spit over hard-hitting, synth-heavy hip-hop production with elements recalling recent work from Mike Will Made It and DJ Mustard." Benjamin also highlighted the styling and aesthetic of the track's music video, citing it's "tongue-in-cheek presentation" as proof of the opinion that "HyunA is easily one of the baddest females in K-pop."[9]
