AznRaps has posted a new interview feature Korean American femcee Shin B.
Some highlights include:
“When I was in Korea, they were trying to pair me up with this slutty female singer and make us a duo. I barely got any parts in our songs and it would basically be her running the show. I had to learn slutty dance moves and would be forced to act like a ditz. I hated it, but I did it because I didn’t care what it took as long as I got there. The record label told me that the kind of music I wanted to do wasn’t going to sell and that I was trying to be too “hip hop” (whatever that means). I felt suffocated. I felt trapped. I felt like I had to dumb myself down. Not to mention, I was put through nonsense diets and exercise just to get rail thin. I was eating like an apple a day and running for miles in monsoon summer heat. This eventually got me so sick to the point I had to be rushed to the hospital (mentioned above).”
Shin B is a great femcee holding it down for asian americans doing music. Make sure you check out the rest of the article.
