Previously, we wrote about Linkin Park’s documentary “Meeting of A Thousand Suns” that offers an inside look about their upcoming album. It’s a fascinating look at the creative process to produce a music album. Linkin Park goes out of the box to make a truly unique sound. The visual effects make the film more fun to watch as well. You can see the 30 minute documentary FREE on Hulu.
Deluxe versions of the album “A Thousand Suns” will also include this documentary. A Thousand Suns is dropping on 9.14.10. (Pre-order here.) This weekend on Sunday, September 12, 2010 at 9pm, Linkin Park will perform “The Catalyst” live on TV for the first time ever at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).

Jin released “The Meaning” with rapper/spoken word artist Ruby Ibarra off his 2010 Hip Hop Census mixtape. This is a chill, yet thought provoking track. On this song, Ruby Ibarra smokes the lyrics with Jin. Keep your eyes on her. She’s one of the few up and coming female Asian American rappers. She’s always delivered deep messages in her rhymes. See Lost in Translation, Ching Chong Asian, and Apartment Raps.
Check out a few other tracks off the 2010 Hip Hop Census mixtape : Drop Change, If I ever Make Millions, and Baby It’s You.
