=O I see reynard silva and snacky chan!
I like most of their songs.

[uws]

Wasn't roscoe just a dj/producer for them? I'm not sure myself, but just from what I know I wouldn't really consider him a member of 'Drunken Tiger' as an actual MC.

Roscoe Umali (Hip-Hop // Rap) Filipino-American


^thats right folks, ur not seeing things, its Roscoe IN BED with Jeri Lee


Until recently, Roscoe Umali was mainly known as one of the members of the korean rap group "Drunken Tiger" but now he is finally breaking out on his own.

far east movement!! they're really nice ppl

[bakaxneko]

^ heck yeah. Far East Movement <33

[baoi]

ANY LINKS FOR: FAR EAST MOVEMENT & NEMO?

i always see NEMO on the Boston's Metro, but i never knew if they were good.
now if i see them again featured again, I"M GOING TO GO SUPPORT!

-- NEMO is pretty popular, huh?

New to the Underground World. Boston has many artists, especially the ones
who are working the NYC and BOSTON crowds.

I saw VUDOO SOUL a while ago.. he's so adorable.
his CD is pretty good.. I love him.. his myspace: http://myspace.com/vudoosoul
+ i like Lover Come Over, and Oh Too Late.

[tian`tian]

Jin now. Actually wasn't really into him when he was really popular, but he's putting more thought into his productions. He's also a really nice guy, easy to talk to, no ego.

[forevertrying]

I see that Far East Movement and Ken Oak Band have been brought up a couple of times on this topic. Both groups are very good friends of mine and they all are very talented people. When Ken and Ed of Ken Oak Band come to play a show for me in Seattle, they always play with my brothers band that I manage New Heights (www.myspace.com/newheightsmusic). Also a all asian american band. So show some love for New Heights and keep supporting Kev nish and all of Far East Movement and Ken, Ed and cant for get about Pete (manager) of Ken Oak Band.

Has anyone heard of Youmee?

Started singing as soon I could talk! Didn't pursue professionally until age 18 (I'm a late bloomer). Pursued recording career in Korea... from a 5 girl group to a 2 girl group.... I've done it all!

I been bumpin's Roscoe since the DT days, and now his latest mixtape "I <3 My DJs" rarely leaves my car's CD player. I can rock that continuously for days, and it always keeps me amped up.

Also, Kristine Sa's latest album is amazing, and her best work yet. I love her music, and have been fortunate to meet her twice now.

And on another not, Jin's 4th album "I Promise" is his hottest project yet. Definately a tight CD from start to finish.

i agree with the OP. Asians need support from other asians and if we're not giving them much of a chance then we can't expect a change in the music industry. Asians are especially scrutinized in the entertainment industry so it's critical we show some love for them. This way they know we're behind them and supporting them 100% along the way.

So I didn't see a VERY talented artist posted in this thread. I'll put his info up now . Some of his songs were aired on radio stations in the Bay area . I encourage everyone to check him out. He's definitely one of the best Asian American R&B singers.

Kuay Saelee

Kuay Saelee’s voice is truly unique, a mix between Michael Jackson and Usher. A breathe of fresh air. He is able to sing original and cover material in English and Mien. His stage performance often moves listeners to silence, laughter or tears. The multitude of genres in which Kuay performs, write and produces provide him with a fluent evolving sound that reflects his passion, dedication and integrity to meaningful music. He is an accomplish singer, song writer and producer with production and song writing credits, on numerous album. After releasing his 2nd title debut album [I’m So Ready] with singles like “Can I”, “She Said O”, “Try It Again”, etc. Kuay has finally gotten the respect by record labels, publishing companies, and musicians that he deserves. The 21 year old aim is to open up doors for other Asian singers with his soulful, sexy, creative and notable songs.

I listened to all of these Asain-american artist and i'm sorry they are lame. No wonder they are not famous. But i agree it is about time Asian people make a stand here. It going to happen pretty soon i bet.

you listened to them all, huh? Kind of hard to believe. If you listened to Roscoe Umali, you'd know different, as he is currently the hot stock in Hip Hop world. With many high profiled artists featured on his latest mixtape (Talib Kweli, Raekwon, E-40, Murphy Lee, DJ Muggs, Smif N Wesson, etc.), he is finally getting the chance to showcase the talent many have known about since is Drunken Tiger days.

Sorry, but it sounds to me like you already had your mind set that these people weren't going to be good, as you gave no explanation as to why they are "lame"

They're not good because they didn't - or won't make it. Either they don't have the look or they don't have the vocals or rapping skills.

They're not good because they didn't - or won't make it. Either they don't have the look or they don't have the vocals or rapping skills.

Or, they're not respected enough here to make it. Music Industry's don't think they draw a big enough crowd. And then, they all go to Asia, where they DO make it big, because there, their ethnicity isn't a big deal, and they DO have the looks, AND the vocals.

We need to show the music industry that we ARE a market for Asian American artists.
