The first Asian rapper has arrived. "Jin - The Rest Is History (Ruff Ryders/Virgin)" is in stores.
How did he get his record deal? Here's his answer in his own words.
"I wanted to get a record deal. No one would give it to me. So I went on [BET's] '106th and Park' [where he won the freestyle competition on Freestyle Fridays for seven straight weeks]. And I got a deal through Ruff Ryders. It's the good old-fashioned American way."
He doesn't want to be ghettoized as Asian
This could be a good thing for hip hop.

Hi, surfed in. Jin's not the first Asian rapper but he's the first to be signed to a major label. You probably know this but there's several good websites where you can find out more about Jin including his BET battles, his mixtapes, his dope freestyles and some footage of him decimating emcees at the Mixshow Power Summit's Fight Klub in Puerto Rico where he took the grand prize of 50k and a new car. Try these in this order:

I'm surfing through so I will probably not visit here again, so don't bother responding to my post, just enjoy the links! Peace out.
