Leave a reply

The Far*East Movement (FM) was formed by emcees: Kev Nish (Kevin Nishimura), Prohgress (James Roh), and J-Splif (Jae Choung). The three childhood friends found their love for music fresh out of high school and created recognition for the group in the Los Angeles hip-hop scene through energetic live shows and a strong Internet presence.

Forming Catch Music Group with manager Carl Choi in 2004, the group has since been developed into a rising force destined for World recognition. The group has achievements on an independent level that some major label groups could only dream to attain. Far East Movement has embarked on 2 World Tours (including the USA, South America, Canada, & Asia). Their music has been featured on “CSI,” “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift” and Justin Lin’s “Finishing the Game.”

Currently, Far East Movement is working on their sophomore album “Animal” slated for release in 2008. The album includes guest appearances by platinum selling artists Lil Rob and Baby Bash. Recently, they also collobrated with the Korean popstar Se7en on his upcoming English album.

If you are in the NorCal area (San Francisco & Sacramento), look for FM performing in your area.

Leave a reply

The Asian American/Asian Research Institute will host a one-day conference on May 16, 2008 titled Asian American Women: Celebrating Successes, Meeting Challenges, a forum where we will examine past, present, and future challenges and objectives for Asian American women.

Date: Friday, May 16, 2008

Time: 8:30AM to 5PM

Place: CUNY Graduate Center – Elebash Recital Hall

365 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan (Corner of 34th Street)

Asian American women’s experiences and concerns illustrate the heterogeneous and complex histories and interests of this important segment of the U.S. population. This year’s AAARI conference will investigate the landscape of Asian American women’s historical and contemporary experiences, examining and evaluating past accomplishments while maintaining a critical and pragmatic eye to future goals. The conference seeks to explore the manifold realms of Asian American women’s lives from the diverse vantage points of scholars, researchers, business professionals, educators, activists, artists, legislators, writers, and students. During the conference, we will ask ourselves what we have learned from Asian American women’s histories, and how we can apply this knowledge to present and future challenges for our communities.
