Wang Lee Hom feat. Jin the Emcee - 盖世英雄

In an interesting combination, this song involves two Chinese-American artists, one who went into Taiwanese music to make his fame and became a huge sensation, the other who stuck it out in the U.S. and carved a name for himself in the American underground hip hop scene. One raps primarily in Mandarin, with some English thrown in; the other raps primarily in English with some Cantonese thrown in. On top of that, the song mixes the modern styles of R&B, Taiwanese hip hop, American hip hop, and traditional Chinese opera.

Jin the Emcee - Gimmick

This is probably my favorite Jin song. I think his flow is unusually good on this one. This artist made a name for himself in hip hop by competing on the Freestyle Friday segment on the BET show 106 & Park. By the vote of the crowd, he won every round of freestyle battles until he got into the Hall of Fame, which is especially notable because he was the underdog by virtue of his Asianness in a Black-dominated forum against Black contenders being judged by a Black audience. His battle raps were more impressive than his writtens, but I think this is one of his better recorded tracks.  Oh, and this track is from before he became a Christian rapper, so there is profanity.
