Iron Mic 战士

Iron Mic 战士 The IRON MIC WARRIOR compilation album, simply put, my life’s work in music. Executive produced by yours truly, SHOWTYME, I was able to pair the greatest Chinese American Hip Hop producer—Scott “Chops” Jung—with the all-time most talented, innovative and pioneering Chinese IRON MIC rappers. Inspired by Bruce Lee’s script for the series Warrior, a HBO Max martial arts crime drama that is executive produced by Bruce’s daughter, Shannon Lee, this compilation includes original remixes of songs that have been featured on previous Warrior episodes, as well as exclusive previews of music that will be featured on Season 3 of Warrior. The album blurs the line between the action-packed life in San Francisco’s Chinatown in the 1880’s and the tumultuous twists and turns of contemporary life. The album explores some of the most controversial topics that only Hip Hop has the courage and capacity to address; greed, money, crime, loyalty, brotherhood, ethnic tensions, sinophobia, violence and freedom. The rappers on this compilation range the gamut of legendary OG’s like Beijing’s Young Kin to relentlessly up-and-coming artists like Qinghai’s GNS耀耀. Over two dozen rappers from across China and abroad including C.Jam, Lil Mizy, dropb, Becareful, Fei, School Girl Niu Niu, Kigga, PACT and DDG to name a few. All of these MCs represent the spirit of Bruce Lee in Chinese rap. They are the truest Warriors that I know in the world of Chinese Hip Hop, and this is by far the greatest story ever told via the art form and culture that I brought to China over two decades ago. #Warrior @Warrior #IRONMIC @IRONMIC #IRONMIC战士 @IRONMIC 战士 ---------- Scott “CHOPS” Jung is a pioneering music maker whose multi-instrument style helped his group Mountain Brothers become the first Asian American rap group signed to a major label.
