The Notorious MSG have been busy promoting their new album “Heavy Ghetto” coming out May 24, 2011. It’s their first full album since they formed in 2002, which marked the birth of the biggest and baddest rap group to come out of New York City’s Chinatown restaurant circuit. Founded by ringleader, Hong Kong Fever (the “Yellow Gigolo”), Down-Lo Mein, and latest third member, Hunan Bomb, the monosodium glutamate-named group has now been schooling planet earth and beyond with their Asian American gangster-ness for 9 years. With their latest album coming soon, the group shared some insights into their lives including their how they became so brollic, their crazy day to day activities, and the mysterious Angus Wong.
update: You can get the album on 
or amazon.

Lyrics to Go by Aziatix
don’t have the words to say
but baby i’m goin’ away
i took another road ahead
and i’ll be so far away
gonna fly to where my water’s sky blue
martini, margaritas on the beach
yeah, now’s the time to party the night through
not you girl no one but me
it was nice to greet ya,
and it was nice to meet ya
but i know that i’m off the hook
i’m fishing for another keeper
i’ll delete ya, never reach ya girl
i’m done with putting you on,
on never call you again ‘cuz
i’m gone with the wind for the kid
it’s time to move on, on
baby i don’t mean to be cliche
but it’s not you girl but me
still got a lot of player left in me
so i’ll be on my way
babe i gotta GO GO baby roll..
adios and i’m out the door
babe i gotta GO GO baby roll..
can’t go on playin’ you no more
gonna go far away
babe i’m goin’ far far away
babe i gotta GO GO adios..
it’ll never be the way it was before
gonna go far away
babe i’m goin’ far far away
too many times have i lost control,
and now i’m steady walking out the door
and it’s only right for me to let you know,
i’m gone.. on the next jet to a set
where i don’t need nothing planned and
party it up with all i can, with all my will
with all i am
sometimes lovers need a holiday
and that’s just the way it is,
i see the stars alinged we’re ready to go
show you that the world is ready for me (yeah)
babe i gotta GO GO baby roll..
adios and i’m out the door
babe i gotta GO GO baby roll..
can’t go on playin’ you no more
gonna go far away
babe i’m goin’ far far away
babe i gotta GO GO adios..
it’ll never be the way it was before
gonna go far away
babe i’m goin’ far far away
gonna fly to where my water’s sky blue
martini, margaritas on the beach
yeah, now’s the time to party the night through
not you girl no one but me
that’s right, it’s time for me to party it up
and it ain’t starting with us
just me and the team overseas
we’re going off the club
i said, i’m going g g g going gone
i said, i’m going g g g going gone
babe i gotta GO GO baby roll..
adios and i’m out the door
babe i gotta GO GO baby roll..
can’t go on playin’ you no more
gonna go far away
babe i’m goin’ far far away
babe i gotta GO GO adios..
it’ll never be the way it was before
gonna go far away
babe i’m goin’ far far away
i don’t have the words to say..
but baby i’m goin’ away..
