Kollaboration Star, November 16

Featuring Drunken Tiger with T Yoon Mirae & Bizzy



Kollaboration, the world-famous Asian American talent show competition returns to Los Angeles for Kollaboration Star 2013. Six talented, up-and-coming finalists will showcase their talents and vie for a $20,000 prize. It's going down this Saturday, November 16 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.

Hosted by David So, the evening's guest performers include comedian Paul PK Kim, dancer Mike Song & beatboxer KRNFX, singer/songwriter David Choi and a special one-hour performance by Korean hip hop royalty Drunken Tiger with T Yoon Mirae and Bizzy. It's going to be quite a show.

Here's the official promo video with the highlights:

New Music: The Cure, the new album from Drunken Tiger

I normally don't post much on Korean music -- nothing against it, but other sites cover popular music from Asia a lot better than I can -- but every now and then something cool breaches my consciousness and I'm inclined to share. A friend passed me The Cure, the new album from Drunken Tiger, and I'm digging it.

I won't pretend to be Korean rap-literate, but long ago, I was advised by folks far more knowledgeable than me that Drunken Tiger is pretty much the foremost force in Korean hip hop. Here, Tiger JK and his wife Yoonmirae -- dubbed Korea's rap royal couple -- come together with MC Bizzy to demonstrate why they've earned that title. The nine-track EP also features guitar contributions from our old friend singer/songwriter David Choi.

Here are some recently released music videos from the album:
