Asian Assassin
Asian Assassin is one of the first Asian MCs in the hip-hop game. With his first album, "University of Complexity" dropping in 1999, he turned the heads of the underground hip-hop fans. The album consisted of life experiences while at college (from "Shady Women," "Alcohol time," and "Hoochie Hunter"). The first smash single was “Shady Women,” a dedication to all those shady ex-girlfriends who all love to hate. He later followed it up with “Hoochie Hunter,” which was very successful and was ranked as high as #23 on MP3.com’s hip-hop charts (just above Master P and Ice-T).
Asian Assassin was born in the Philippines in 1977. In addition, he also lived in Africa for four years while he was young. He now represents the Mid-West, more specifically the Northwest Chicago suburbs of Illinois. From the first time he heard rap music (LL Cool J, Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest, etc.), he fell in love with the music and culture. His freestyle skills has been one of his trade marks. Rap music has been changed due to this MC.
