Well I posted about this man before, but I figured since Ben asked us to write a bio on an Asian American Artist, I might as well do it again. OK, well a little background before the bio, Jin is an Chinese American MC who appeared on freestyle friday of BET's "106 and Park" and he has slowly crept up in the music world to join wyclef's label the Ruff Ryders (However today he has decided to leave the label). But, I first knew of jin when he had battled and won on freestyle friday 7 weeks straight. He's a lyrical genius, but i'm not going to lie, his songs aren't always on point. Anyways, I did Jin because he's an inspiration and although he knows of asian american stereotypes, he battles them by embracing them and telling the world he's more than that.
Bio:
Jin the MC was born in miami, florida and was raised by chinese-immigrant parents.
Jin had aspirations of becoming a professional rapper and was inspired by 2Pac, Nas, Wu-Tang, Notorious B.I.G, LL Cool J, and Big L. In 2001, Jin moved to Flushing, NY to begin pursuing his dream. Jin sold mixtapes on the streets and soon had a huge following.
I know Jin is illlllll.
Anyways, Lateeeeeers!
