Da Music Issue (Supporting da scene issue)
From Mc Jin’s upcoming album, The Rest is History: C’mon, So Afraid More….
Mc Jin, (official Site) just about the cutest little bro rapper out there, the first asian american MC to get signed onto a major label (virgin) through ruff ryders records, appeared in Fast and Furious two and had his moment on MTV with his video, “Learn Chinese,” has a bunch of new tracks from his new album, the The Rest is History (out on October 19th) online. I saw him Decemeber last year at his homecoming show and there were a whole lotta love going both ways. And this time when he rapped in Canto we the audience all understood it. Unlike the equally darling William Hung, this boy has t.a.l.e.n.t.
Jin will be kicking off his Asian tour in Hong Kong November 5th 2004.

Oh that’s cool you saw him over there, we talked about his first show there when I interviewed him. Very nice kid!

That is cool you interviewed him and then talked about the show. It was good. i think he was psyched to be in a Canto crowd, I was up on the speakers right by the stage and I honestly thought he might burst into tears. It must be overwhelming to have a fully chinese crowd in front of him who understood both languages he rapped in and thus apreciated his Canto-English translation bit.
Actually. Do you have the radio show online? I would like to listen to it.

Just wondering: one way to see if a genre is past its creative peak is when Dutch bands or Christian bands start doing it. For example: Nu Metal was over when P.O.D. appeared. Does this work with your local bands as well?

Actually some of the earliest indie bands in HK were christain bands, Uncle Joe for example (saw them play today, the openned the festival), LMF our big indie hip hop group, fourth biggest selling artist last year, with NO radio Play as they are banned as well as NO TV play as they won’t do stupid “variety” shows came out 8-10 years ago. So no… you are not very nice about your country men and their muscial taste are you?
