For you younger generation of Asian-Americans, you may have been too young to remember Jin. Not that Jin’s disappeared — but for a solid 4-6 months, much of us 80s babies were witnessing the potential rise of an Asian rapper during our college days.
Jin took BET’s Freestyle Friday by storm and impressed the hip hop community enough that he ended up inking a deal with DMX’s label, Ruff Ryder Records. At his height, Jin even landed a small role in the second Fast and the Furious installment, 2 Fast 2 Furious.
Lately, Jin’s been doing smaller tours and appearances, but I was pleasantly surprised to find this random freestyle he posted onto youtube hanging out with Traphik.

Hasn’t he become a Christian rapper or something? Maybe that’s just rumor.
But apparently, since he’s dropped off the hip hop scene, he’s become big on religion.
jin was so ill then he kinda went away. Ruff Riders wasn’t right for him anyway.
Mainstream wasn’t just him. Maybe he can comeback and go about it way Drake is right now and stick with Mix tapes.
Hey, you should check out Blue Scholars. They’re pretty dope and the main rapper is Asian. It’s underground hip hop.
