As part of their VLOG series, FM gives a quick 20-30 second preview of one of the cuts from the new album currently in production. The track is called ‘Go Ape’ and you can hear it at the end of the clip. Looks like they are continuing their high-energy electronica influenced brand of hip-hop. Too bad they didn’t show us a little more of what’s to come.
In today’s Far East Movement news; the group was featured on the front page of MTV.com!

You may not be familiar with the name Choz Belen, but you should… because after seeing his work we believe this dude is gonna blow up.
The director of great music video’s such as Deep Foundation’s “Sleep” ft Jay Legaspi & the upcoming video for FM’s “I Party” ft IZ, Choz is definitely putting his unique stamp on the game. AznRaps has just released an indepth interview with him and it’s a definite recommended read.
You can find it over at AR, or as always, after the break!
Choz Belen has an affinity for stylized illustrated visuals and he brings his touch to the new MV for FM. The song is their collaboration with IZ called ‘I Party’ from their Animal album. I’m definitely looking forward to the final version of this video. It definitely looks interesting if not unique at the very least.
Look for the video to drop February 2010.

2009 is quickling coming to an end and as part of my guest blogging gig at mtv IGGY I was asked to compile a list highlighting what I considered the top 10 tracks of the past decade by Asian Amercan artists. It took a lot of debate and even now I’m not 100% satisfied with my list by regardless I stand by it. This is just a repost of the mtv IGGY article with some minor edits but without further ado I present to you my Top 10 Asian American Tracks From The Decade.
Let me start off this list by saying it was nearly impossible to try and pick my top 10 favorite songs by Asian American artists from the past 10 years. One reason being, I didn’t really follow the scene heavily until a couple years into the decade and even then the pickings were a bit slim at the time. Also, I’ve opted to go for my personal favorite songs that have stood the test of time, and not just the most influential. Keep in mind this is a list of top 10 songs, not artists. That would have been a similar but still different list altogether. Lastly, I’ve decided to stick strictly with Asian-American artists meaning UK import Jay Sean didn’t make the cut despite how much I love ‘Down’. All I can say is, it’s been really exciting to see more and more Asian American artists make a name for themselves in the industry and I can only imagine next decade’s top 10 will be exponentially more difficult to sort out. As with any list there’s going to be some consensus and some disagreement but without further ado I present to you my top 10 from 2000 to 2009.
Read on for the list!

OK, so I’m crazy late in posting about this but for those of you in the southern Cali area that read this blog, in case you didn’t know there is a huge Holiday benefit event sponsored by 4C The Power taking place TOMORROW in your area. The party is being hosted by the Far East Movement and will include appearances by Lydia Paek, AJ Rafael, VuDoo Soul, IZreal and more. The party is for a good cause and benefits of the proceeds go towards the UC Davis M.I.N.D. Institute for Autism along with the Red Scarf Project in support of children’s heart surgery in Asia. More than seeing great artists you’re helping an even greater cause.
