Minos (Hangul: 마이노스), born as Choi Minho (Hangul: 최민호), is a rapper of the Republic of Korea, under the Korean hip hop label, Brand New Music. He specialises in the production of hip hop. Minos arrived to the Korean hip hop scene when he debuted with the Korean hip hop team, Virus, as a member back in 1999, alongside Mecca, who is not in the hip hop scene anymore.
Minos was born in Daegu (Hangul: 대구), Republic of Korea, on February 27, 1983.
Minos made his debut, alongside Mecca, with the Korean hip hop team, Virus (Hip hop team). This hip hop team was formed in 1999 in a Club called HEAVY, under the Project called 'Hiphop Train'. Virus continued to release their first EP(extended play), back in 2003, and represented Korea with their philosophical and poetic lyrics, almost becoming 'story-tellers'. The activity of Virus is currently passive and is on a hiatus. The team had released a single album and an EP, in 2003. The album moved onto be re-issued again in 2006, and then came their hiatus because of Mecca's retirement. However, Mecca had featured in a song called Gentleman's Quality : 건배, which was released in a project album by Minos in Nuol.
Minos moved on to be a part of the sub-unit, Eluphant, which was created by his independent Korean hip hop label, Soul Company, at the time. Eluphant consists of Soul Company's fellow rapper and co-founder, Kebee. Together, they moved on to release their first album together, which was christened Eluphant Bakery, and was released on April 19, 2006. The album moved on to be re-issued in 2008.
