South Korean rapper RM (formerly Rap Monster) has released two studio albums, two mixtapes, and 21 singles (including 12 as a featured artist). He has recorded with a variety of artists throughout his career including Warren G, MFBTY, Primary, Wale, Fall Out Boy, Tiger JK, Honne, Lil Nas X, Younha, Erykah Badu, Anderson .Paak, Balming Tiger and Megan Thee Stallion.
RM's career began in 2010 when he signed to Big Hit Entertainment. He spent three years as a trainee at the label, honing his skills as a rapper, musician, and songwriter—he co-wrote songs for 2AM and Glam during that time—frequently sharing songs he made or covered on SoundCloud via the label's official blog. He debuted as a member of BTS, with the stagename Rap Monster, in June 2013. His first solo track for the band was the rap intro from their debut extended play (EP), O!RUL8,2? (2013), released as a video trailer on YouTube in August of that year. He has since authored and performed three more solo songs in the band's repertoire: "Reflection" from Wings (2016), "Trivia: Love" from Love Yourself: Answer (2019), and "Persona" from Map of the Soul: Persona (2019).
Outside of his BTS-related work, the rapper released his first mixtape RM in 2015, under his then-stagename Rap Monster. Three music videos were produced for the tracks "Awakening", "Do You", and "Joke" respectively. The mixtape was never released commercially or made available on streaming platforms. His second mixtape, Mono (2018), was the first full project released under his updated stagename RM, having officially changed it a year prior. Mono's debut at number 26 on the Billboard 200 made him the highest-charting Korean solo artist in the history of the chart at the time,[1] a record he held until 2020 when bandmate Suga's second mixtape D-2 debuted at number 11.[2] Four years later, he released his debut solo album Indigo. The project featured collaborations with Badu, Paak, Tablo of Epik High, and Youjeen of Cherry Filter, who provided vocals on the lead single "Wild Flower", among others. The album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and made him the highest-charting Korean solo artist[A] in Billboard chart history once again.[4][5]

| "ㅠㅠ (Credit Roll)" | None | RM performs the song while a lone camera records him as busy staff members work around him.

Studio albums
RM has released two studio albums as a solo artist, both under Big Hit Music. These projects represent his evolution as a rapper and songwriter, blending hip-hop, R&B, and alternative influences while exploring personal themes of identity, growth, and introspection. His debut album, Indigo, marked his transition from mixtapes to full-length commercial releases, followed by Right Place, Wrong Person, which expanded on experimental sounds and collaborations.Indigo
Indigo is the debut studio album by RM, released on December 2, 2022, in digital format initially, with physical editions following on December 16, 2022, via Big Hit Music. The album comprises 10 tracks and was made available in formats including digital download, CD, LP, and cassette. It debuted at number 15 on the Billboard 200 with 31,000 equivalent album units, primarily from digital sales, before re-peaking at number 3 with 83,000 units after the physical release.[13] Internationally, it topped the Billboard World Albums chart and reached number 1 on the United World Chart with 339,000 equivalent sales in its debut week.[14] In South Korea, Indigo sold 739,363 copies by the end of December 2022 and has accumulated 1,478,875 copies as of May 2024, earning a 2× Platinum certification from the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA) for 500,000 units shipped.[15] RM co-wrote all tracks on Indigo, drawing from his experiences in his late 20s, with production handled by collaborators including GHSTLOOP, Pdogg, HONNE, and john eun. The album features appearances from Erykah Badu, Anderson .Paak, Tablo, and others, emphasizing introspective lyrics over high-energy rap.

Mixtapes
RM has released two mixtapes, serving as experimental, non-commercial platforms for his solo artistry outside of BTS. These projects emphasize personal introspection, lyrical depth, and collaborations within the hip-hop scene, distributed freely to prioritize creative expression over sales. Released during periods of BTS's rising prominence, the mixtapes allowed RM to refine his skills as a rapper, producer, and songwriter without traditional promotional structures.[25]RM (2015)
RM's debut mixtape, titled RM, was released on March 20, 2015, exclusively on SoundCloud through Big Hit Entertainment. As a free stream, it marked RM's (then known as Rap Monster) first major solo endeavor, focusing on raw hip-hop elements with bilingual lyrics blending Korean and English to convey themes of personal awakening, societal critique, and artistic identity. The 10-track project features collaborations with established Korean hip-hop figures, highlighting RM's connections in the underground scene and his intent to establish credibility as a lyricist. Production draws from diverse influences, including samples in tracks like "P.D.F," which interpolates Warren G's "Regulate." The mixtape received acclaim for its bold flows and honest storytelling, amassing millions of plays on SoundCloud over time and influencing RM's evolution as a solo artist.[26]| No. | Title | Featured artist(s) | Length |

mono. (2018)
RM's second mixtape, mono. (stylized as mono.), was released on October 23, 2018, as a nine-track playlist on SoundCloud, with free downloads available via Big Hit Entertainment and digital purchases on platforms like iTunes. Conceptualized as a "monochromatic" emotional narrative, it delves into themes of love, introspection, homesickness, and transient relationships, structured like a journey across cities (e.g., tracks titled "tokyo" and "seoul"). RM handled much of the production and writing, incorporating indie and R&B influences for a mellow, reflective tone distinct from his debut's intensity. Featured artists include international and domestic talents, underscoring RM's global collaborations. Despite its free initial distribution, mono. achieved significant metrics, debuting at No. 26 on the Billboard 200 with 21,000 equivalent album units in its first week—primarily from 17,000 in streaming equivalent albums and 4,000 in pure album sales—marking the highest chart position for a Korean solo mixtape at the time. By 2022, the project had surpassed 382 million streams on Spotify alone.[4][25][27]| No. | Title | Featured artist(s) | Length |
