Read More Jin Drops the Say Something MixtapeI think most music fans can agree that covering John Legend is no easy task. It takes a singer with soul and raw talent… and thankfully today’s Weekly Thursday Freebie artist has a ton of both. We’ve featured Phil Good in the past with an old recording of his original “I’m in Love“, but it’s […]
Read More WTF: Phil Good’s Cover of John Legend’s “Everybody Knows”If you’re looking to listen to something just a tad more cerebral than your typical MTV/VH1/Perez Hilton type of fair then I recommend you take a listen to this interview/report from NPR on Asian-Americans attempting to break into the mainstream Soul/R&B lane. They discuss artists such as Heather Park, Gerry Wu, Pinay, and Dawen. There […]
Read More NPR Report: “Asian-American Artists Break Into Soul Music”Visual Artist/Animator and MV director Choz Belen (who’s done work for FM & IZ, and Deep Foundation & Jay Legaspi) sat down and chatted with Steve Nguyen. So he’s not exactly a musician (not counting when he moonlights as a DJ), but he’s made such huge contributions to the scene we thought this was still […]
Read More Choz Belen Interview w/ Steve NguyenYoutube singer Sam Hart posted up a new original song entitled ‘Away is a Long Way’. It’s got a slower, country like feel to it and he busts out multiple instruments (guitar and violin). I liked the arrangement and instrumentation more than the song as a whole. It felt a tad dull and Sam’s vocals […]
Read More Sam Hart Shares a New Original – ‘Away is a Long Way’Don’t know how I missed this one, but thankfully the fine folks at ChannelAPA caught this one a few weeks back. This is some footage from an event at Columbia Univeristy where a panel was held on Asian American’s in the media. They got a truly influential group of people to participate including Jin, Miss […]

Columbia University: Asian Americans In Media”Singer Jay Legaspi has announced that his next album Picture Perfect (he has a single of the same name) is expected to drop May 25th, and that he has also started taking preorders!

Read More Jay Legaspi Announces Album Release Date; Starts Pre-OrdersAnother day, another cover of ‘Billionaire‘. But this one’s got its own charm as Victor busts out the uke and Mr. De La Ghetto spits a few bars, both written and free. I think these guys could kill an official remix if they wanted to. But for now we’ll have to do with this fun […]
Read More Victor Kim x Traphik Cover ‘Billionaire’Kero One is getting ready to drop his 3rd album, entitled Kinetic World along with the single ‘Asian Kids’ featuring Dumb, Tablo, and MYK.

Read More Kero One to Release New Album & Single Featuring Tablo, MYK, Dumb and More!You’ve seen the previews for Jesse Barrera’s “Tangled Up” but the full MV is finally here. As expected the visuals are incredibly crisp, interspersed with a photography motif. It’s set in a beautiful beach-side setting (as any decent California video should). I can’t say it’s incredibly original but I think it’s entertaining nonetheless. The song is from his album […]
