Far East Movement Puts Asian Americans on the Hip Hop Charts
With an Electro Hop sound - a unique blend of hip-hop and robotic electronic beats - the Far East Movement created music that is not only smooth but also original. Their music was heard from movies like The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift to television show like Entourage and Gossip Girl.
Consisting of members Kev Nish, Prohgress, J-Splif and DJ Virman, the Far East Movement represents Asian American cultures with Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Filipino descends.
Being an Asian American myself, I'm so proud to see the Far East Movement's success in the music industry. Hip Hop and Electro Hop has been around for a long time, but there have not been many Asian American groups to make it this far!
Who says us Asian Americans were all just a bunch of nerds?

In fact old groups like Run DMC and Wu Tang Clan sell out stadiums over there.
Breakdancing and hip-hop is huge in Japan. Particularly old school 80s hip-hop culture.
