"A film writer friend actually recommended this to me. I'm not Asian, but very much into hip-hop and have been pretty unimpressed lately about the direction it's heading. Not that this film changes that, but it gives me hope. Though it may or may not be intentional, this documentary showcases more than just Jin and his Asia tour. It highlights the emerging Asian hip-hop culture and its fledgling followers. Along with its pure newness, hip-hop's many artistic elements, which have all but died in America, unlock an expressive outlet for Asia's increasingly progressive youth. I would love to see more films like this out there."
