Korean Beacon‘s got a new interview up with IZ. It’s somewhat of a short clip but they touch upon a couple great topics like how he got his name IZ, his faith, how he started writing while incarcerated, and how he’s tryna rep for Asian Americans in the music industry. I enjoyed this interview.
When you think of Korean American rapper, it’s tough to put a face to a name. Sure there are tons of artists from Korea, but how many Korean Americans have gone to prison and survived to tell their story? Korean Beacon’s Christina Lee has the opportunity to sit down with Jacob Paek, aka IZ, an up and coming Korean American rapper who has been though some of the toughest challenges in life and is successfully retelling his story through his music. IZ has been featured in the hit song “I Party” by Far East Movement and recently released his own hit song, “Never Fall” that features a music video with Lisa Fleming and the Far East Movement.
