Hmong Rap - Hilltribe - Do It Again



Hilltribe is a Hmong rap group from Twin Cities, Minnesota consisting of three members: Duoa, Knowstalgic and Triagonometry. Here's a music video of their song Do It Again. This song was sampled from Let's Do It Again, by the Staple Singers. Do It Again is a song reminiscing about childhood memories. The part of the chorus where the children speak in Hmong is from a tag/hide-n-seek game where everyone puts a finger on someone's palm. When the last word is said, everyone must remove their fingers from the palm. The last person who removes the finger from the palm is the caught by the hand and that person is "it".
