From Shogunna's Free Hip-Hop album mixtape, here is the song For The People. This is a rap song where Shogunna holds it down for his Asian peoples. The music video was shot in Manhattan's Chinatown during Chinese/Lunar New Year. Fellow New York Asian rapper, LS made a cameo appearance.
Here's a music video from the KlapYaHandz label in Cambodia. The song is called Watch Yo Neck and its by Gang, a Khmer rapper featuring Mai Kash, a French rapper. The instrumental beat was produced Illuminaire producer Xfacta.
This is a video clip that was filmed in Shogunna's hometown of Flushing, New York a.k.a. "The Forbidden City" and was released on April 13, 2007 as a promotion for Shogunna's debut mixtape: Signed 2 The Streets. In the video clip, Shogunna says that he part of the Asian American hip hop movement but he is represents the Asian "underground culture" within it. Also, Shogunna thanks his supporters and addresses his critics in this video.
Korean rapper Flowsik is out with his new street single HUSTLIN' which is about his rap hustle and grind. Flowsik made this song to express his hustling mentality in the current economic recession in the United States. HUSTLIN' is Flowsik's first self-produced song.
Ice-T's newest protege Flowsik drops some heavy lyricism in his song, I'm Nice. This song is featured on Ice-T's myspace. I'm Nice can be found on the Jay Pak Flowsik Mixtape.
Flowsik is a Korean rapper from Queens, New York from the Illuminaire Status label. For those who have been following hip hop news, you guys know about Ice-T making headlines back in the summer of 2008 when he said "Fuck Soulja Boy! Eat a dick! This nigga single handedly killed hip hop.” Wow. Talk about controversial. For all you guys that already knew about it, yes, this is old news. What Ice-T meant was that the rappers that are in the limelight nowadays lack the content that makes hip hop exciting and fresh. This is not only Ice-T's view but there is a lot of talk nowadays that hip hop is stagnant. Even Nas said it with his song Hip Hop is Dead. In comes, Flowsik an Asian rapper. Ice-T seems to take a liking to Flowsik and even co-signed him. Whatever that Soulja Boy is missing, Flowsik definately makes up for it.
Here is a clip of Flowsik performing over Nas's classic Represent. This performance was held at the world famous Pyramid Club at the Lower East Side in New York where Ice-T was hosting the "End of the Weak", an open-mic event. If you go to the worldstarhiphop where Flowsik's video is hosted the title says "The Next Jin?". What? They don't even look alike!! Flowsik is Korean and Jin is Chinese. And they don't even rap the same. Ugh. Whatever. As long as Asian rappers can get some limelight and get some recognition that's fine. We all know how the industry treated Jin, being and Asian rapper and all. Let's hope they don't do the same for Flowsik, cuz this cat definately has talent.
Flowsik has a mixtape album out called Jay Pak Flow Sik. You can get it at his myspace at http://www.myspace.com/flowsik.
