So often there seem to be silences in giving Asian/Asian American artists the recognition that they deserve. Asia Pacific Arts' TOP 10 list showcases some of the upandcoming artists you should know about who put out some really respectable work in 2008.
I was particularly struck by the Korean American rapper Cool Calm Pete, who along with M.I.A. and Rob wall won Hip Hop Site's Rookie Award in 2005 for his debut album Lost. His rapping style is characterized as a " slow, resonant, and deliberate style of rapping, which functions as a smart critical commentary on the postwar U.S. consumer culture"
