The Rising Sun: Bi-lingual/Bi-cultural Japanese Super Artist Begins His Ascension

One lifetime of experiences meets a once in a lifetime opportunity
and makes a once in a lifetime man.

Imagine a country where the original language of Hip Hop is still massively foreign. The quality of Hip Hop music nationally is below international standards. There are multiple fakers and wack music industry shakers all around. No one truly understands the personal, social, and culture benefits of applying or making Hip Hop culture their own. And no one can effectively communicate this land's culture back to the world.

Then you return to that country, your homeland, and get to be the one to help lead the so-called leaders, and cross international boundaries by producing great quality, bi-lingual music. On top of that, you speak to all of THEIR souls and have the utmost pride, passion, and respect for your homeland and the plight of the people who created Hip Hop.

Watching and Being Apart of National and International History in the Making is Amazing
