All Around My World is a song by Malaysia's Joe Flizzow featuring Terry Tye Lee. Its a song about flying ladies all around Asia. This track is from Joe Flizzow's debut solo-effort album President.

DJ Shine - Right Round (Live Performance)


DJ Shine - Right Round


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. There's something about DJ Shine's performance that makes him looks really uptight. And what the hell is he wearing?!

S.H.O featured on The Source magazine



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.
