Female Asian American hip hop artists are on the rise. Here’ the latest from Shin-B called Prelude to Point 9. Here’s a little more about the song from Shin-B herself:

Yo, Shin… what does ‘Prelude to Point 9’ even mean? It means an introduction, the beginning (Prelude)… to forever, eternity, infinity (Point 9). Mathematically, 0.99999 = Infinity.

Life is chock full of dead ends; whether it be a death, bad relationship, despair, trials and tribulations. But, with every dead end, there’s a new beginning. It’s the circle of life that continues forever and ever. It’s up to you to repair that damage and re-write a new beginning. A new beginning that’ll improve you and lead you towards an impenetrable existence called… Forever.

Last year, she went indie and coming hard with this track. She’s working on a mixtape album with KRS-One’s former DJ and Supernatural’s current DJ, Silent John. It’s rumored to feature collaborations with Dumbfoundead and Lyricks. If you’re in LA or SF, Shin-B will be tearing up the stage at the SeoulFul Concert 2010 in LA on April 3, 2010 and Kollaboration SF on April 10, 2010.

Check out other female MCs rippin’ it including Rocky Rivera, Hopie Spitshard, Masia One, and Misnomer(s).

Prelude to Point 9 by Shin-B

Lyrics to Prelude to Point 9 by Shin-B

i’m sittin, and i’m waitin, for my minute, of fifteen
i’m bettin, that i’ll get it to be, more than fifteen
with an appetite, to outshine a king (i’m hungry)
louie to the french, write a rhyme, similar to louvre
in a habitat. with murals, and a picture
what i do, realigned with a mirror
reflect and present, whatever that i battle
wherever that i struggle, HIGHlighted with a BIC
never ever hidden like a secret or a trick
forget about ur pride, don’t consider it a favor
sick of everybody who complainin like a neighbor
givin birth, labor, a way for the latter
the former pavin a way for girl to be a rapper
kinda hesitant when i hear a chatter
i used to be the kind to care about a matter
i let it take over, then, i get shattered
now an opposite, i’m feelin kinda flattered
flash in a pan, (nope!) more than 1-d
a 3d, an hd, versatile
coverin a topic we could all relate to
know about a struggle, i know about a pain
the minute that i feel, i send it thru a Ping
i used to be quiet, now i wanna riot
i see a fish big, yeah i wanna fry it
used to work at a wharf, sell-fish (selfish)
first on my mind, all last on a list
thought, only of i, first, on my mind
and everybody sayin i wont ever get a guy
life is a balance
it’s a student
it’s a teacher
yeah~
it’s how u see like glasses
what u View like a show with Walters
beauty’s beauty (when) beast is a beauty
duckling a swan, live, without feuding
do my own thing, refuse to get cued in
meant to do music, yeah i’m a shoe in
i rock nikes, i just do it
my status, proof’s, in the pudding
zigga zig ah, ah zigga zig ah
i’m never doin drugs so ya kids won’t rah?
