Asian American rapper in NY Times

Video - Hmong rapper featured on NY Times

Something you don't see everyday. Asian rapper featured on one of the media's largest websites.

Tou Saiko Lee, from St. Paul MN, is a poet and rapper who speaks about justice in his community. I thought it was cool that he actually made it onto the NY Times website. He is also from a place I never thought really had an Asian-American community.

Anyways, his lyrics pretty dope and he seems very aware of the issues at hand for Asian Americans. Check him out, you might like it!
