The Far East Movement is a group that has managed to create a huge amount of buzz especially in Southern California. I first heard some of their material in 2003 on a concept album called “Movementality” and it’s astonishing to see how big they’ve gotten since then. They’ve managed to get song placements in major films and tv shows all the while constantly touring, fliming, and promoting. “Animal” is their 2nd album so do they fall into a sophomore slump? Check after the jump to find out.
To promote their upcoming appearance in Kollaboration 9, Youtube sensations David Choi, Kina Grannis, and Kollaboration Acoustic 2 Winner, Jane Lui along with MTV Top Pop Group’s Jazmin perform an acoustic version of Chris Brown’s “Forever.”

Half Japanese/Half Irish major label recording artist Marie Digby did a cool cover of The Game’s song “My Life” featuring Lil Wayne.
Marie is perhaps best known for her cover of Rihanna’s Umbrella.
Japanese Hip-Hop megagroup Teriyaki Boyz have some new material coming out early next year including their newest single “Work That” featuring Pharrell and Chris Brown and produced by the Neptunes.
You can peep the video after the break. Good song but the video is… eh. Just a heads up, it’s not exactly SFW.
I know it ain’t Christmas but here it is, a day early.
Flowsik stated he wanted to keep it simple and street and the video reflects that. Nothing snazzy here but a decent watch nonetheless.
Kato just landed production credits on Mike Petrone‘s newest single “Crank It” ft Lil Scrappy and Iam. Make sure you check it out because it’s good stuff.
David Choi is your perfect example of an internet star. His youtube videos have skyrocketed his fanbase and popularity in the last couple of years allowing him to experience a large amount of exposure. Till recently he was known for his deadpan expression, dry humor and tongue in cheek wit, and most of all song covers and talented musicianship. Back in October he released this full length album entitled “Only You” so here’s the review. Better late than never.
Ah Jaewon. The 5th member of H.O.T. and who had no real distinctive purpose in the group (like the other four of the jackson 5), the 3rd wheel in JTL, the irrelevant solo artist… just can’t seem to succeed.
AllKPop reports that Jaewon had been accused of raping one of his trainees. Lord can only hope she was of-age but was this really what its comes to? Of course he denied the rape and said it was consensual and the girl shortly dropped the charges thereafter but oh how things have changed.
My biggest question is who would willingly choose Jaewan to shape and manage their career? It’s like asking William Hung for vocal lessons.
Personally I just think the girl had a bad case of soju-goggles.
