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.
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 supporting role in the second Fast and the Furious installment.

Wow, so it’s been a very very long while. Lot’s of bloggers go through it. As a matter of fact, the hardest part of blogging is probably to consistently blog. But the creative spirit and urge to write is back in me and I feel the holy blogger spirit flowing through my fingers.
I’ve been extremely busy these days with my professional life. But to show you all that I’m back and that I mean it, I’ve grabbed this spiffy new design over from Wordpress.
