Back in March, James Han (aka J. Han) dropped his solo mixtape album, Art of Starch. It’s been a few months but he’s now dropped a music video for the song “Chasing Nothing” featuring his AMP bandmate, Sam Ock. Residents of the DMC should recognize much of the backdrops used for this visual. Mr. Ock doesn’t make an appearance but can be heard prominently on the hook and bridge.

Happy Sunday, everyone. Given the day of the week, I thought it’d be fitting sharing a few covers of our artists expressing aspects of their Faith through song.

Well, here’s six.

The Guys That Play Instruments Youtube Covers Round-Up – 3/18/13
Last time, we spotlighted some females that know how to play instruments and exhibited as such in a cover video. To be fair, we’ve gone to the other gender and collected the following videos where male artists show off some of their instrumental prowess. A couple covers are even instrumental-only. Paul Dateh, in particular, kills it.

Joseph Vincent Covers “Climax” by Usher
Tony T Nguyen Covers “Don’t You Worry Child” by Swedish House Mafia
J. Han Drops the ‘Art of Starch’ Mixtape
AMP’s own J. Han has finally dropped his debut solo mixtape, Art of Starch. Of course, James isn’t without the support of his AMP brethren, with CL and Sam Ock making a number of guest supporting appearances. Ock in particular is on nearly every track. Mickey Cho, Jae Jin, Gowe, and Lyricks also lent their respective vocals to round out this 10 track project.
Art of Starch is J.Han’s debut solo project. In this mixtape he aims to articulate his past by examining his upbringing as a “Cleaners Kid”. Realizing his experiences were not something to be trashed as insignificant but rather something to be embraced, he shares his heart and convictions, taking the listener through his life journey. This mixtape features a number of collaborations with artists Sam Ock, Gowe, Mickey Cho, Lyricks, CL, and Jae Jin.
Sam Ock Enters the EDM World with “Peaks” as Kcomas
Folks wouldn’t typically peg Sam Ock as an EDM artist. You know it, he knows it. But if everything were backwards, perhaps he just might – and that’s the cue for the introduction of Kcomas (Sam Ock backwards, get it?). His first piece in the world of EDM is called “Peaks” and it ain’t half bad. It’s not as hard hitting as some of the artists out there, but it’s a pretty good blend of the genre and Sam Ock’s signature style. DL it for free, here.
Sam Ock Shares a Visual for “Joy Ride”
“Joy Ride” isn’t exactly a new song, it was something Sam Ock created for a contest a few years ago. In case you were wondering, he placed second. But that’s not really the point because I’m sure this is the first time most of you are hearing the track. He set the music to some video footage of the local highways, which makes sense considering the theme of the track.
Sam Ock x eSNa x Evan x Hanbyul Sing “What a Joy”
Just in the [Old Saint] Nick of time, Sam Ock has released the video to the song “What a Joy”. The Christmas themed song features the lovely voices of eSNA, Evan and Hanbyul over relaxing bossa-nova inspired instrumentation. The video is more of a collaborative montage, but this is one of the songs you’ll want to listen to more than watch anyways. DL it for free, here.
