After 4 years since he left Drunken Tiger, DJ Shine a.k.a. "the No. 1 Korean" is back! DJ Shine is back with a Korean remake/cover of Flo Rida's Right Round. Uggh... let's just say I am disappointed.

So I saw this full page spread about S.H.O in the April/May issue of The Source magazine. I didn't know who he was or whatever so I decided to look him up.
Here's the 411 on S.H.O:
S.H.O is a rapper from Yokohama, Japan. He was originally an alpine skier representing Japan. During the World Cup trial in 2004, he had an accident which left him hospitalized for a year. Upon recovering, he went back to Japan to pursue a career in hip hop music. Since then he got signed to Black Wall Street Japan and released two albums: Rize&Peace and Brand.
Drop Flyer is S.H.O's latest single. I'm not really feeling the song or S.H.O's flow. He sounds kinda like a death metal rocker or the Cookie Monster. This guy should rap about cookies.
DJ SARASA a.k.a. Silverboombox , a DJ based in Tokyo, Japan has recently released her new album called "Mr. B-Girl".

Bullet Train is one of the tracks of "Mr. B-Girl" which features ELZHI from Slum Village, Masia One and CYMARSHALL LAW. The track is about taking over and running the game like the Shinkansen, one of the world's fastest trains in Japan.
