Eddie was a KPOP solo artist before Aziatix, so it shouldn’t be much of a surprise to see him branch out on ventures of his own. The following MV is for a track called “If Only” and it’s off a project compilation album titled 청춘만감 (Project Boy, Myself) that was released last week in South Korea. He stays true to Az’s roots as the track is completely in English – also you may recognize the rap feature in the song. It’s his bandmate, Flowsik.

A look at notable Shaved Head Asians from the Asian diaspora making moves in their respective industries
Lucky for us, Kato is one such person that fits their criteria. So the result is a quick interview on the Southern producer based in Atlanta by way of VA. So if you’re looking to read a little more on the beat smith and occasional MC, check out the interview in full after the break or by making the jump over to SHA.
On a related note, I wonder what a Shaved Head Asian such as myself would need to do to get a feature =P.
Word has reached us that D-Pryde has a little guest spot for Andrew Garcia, the Youtube star who tried his luck with a run on American Idol a couple seasons ago. The song is called “Star” and is Garcia’s latest single, also featuring Seven. I haven’t had the chance to hear it myself yet but on paper this sounds like an intriguing collab. Hopefully it sees a release outside of the iTunes universe but for right now you can get it through the fruit sponsored mp3 store.

The Wonder Girls are back, at it again – taking on the same strategy from before of cross promoting their music across two different markets. They have a new KPOP album out called Wonder World, but their lead single “Be My Baby” was recorded in both a Korean and English version. It seems that even though they achieved only middling success in the US market last time, they seem intent on making sure SNSD isn’t the only KPOP girl group promoting a single in the states.

If you’re interested, you can watch the Korean version MV after the break.
Remember the Gyopo Mixtape by the Yellow Boyz? It was the free mixtape album they released over the Summer that catered a bit more to their international audience to help promote their activities in Korea. Well they’ve dropped the MV for “Knock Out”, a remix of the GD & TOP track of the same name. You should know what to expect from TYB and their shenanigans – so for better or worse, it’s more of the same.
If you’re looking for an easy R&B/Pop jam to start off your week, “Superstar” may be a good track to check out. The Brenan song features Thai of 454 fame on a radio friendly single with a video produced by 454 Films. The single actually dropped at the tail end of Summer but this is the official release of it’s accompanying music video. Like what you hear? You can purchase the single via the links below.
