Rapper Jin makes Hong Kong debut

Rapper Jin, famous for beating rappers on BET’s “106th & Park” freestyle competition, was the first Asian-American hip hop artist to sign a major solo record deal 4 years ago.

Now the 26 year old rapper has released a Cantonese album in his parents’ hometown of Hong Kong. Universal Music Hong Kong re-released Jin’s album “ABC” (released in the U.S. in February 2007) with new a new song and a DVD containing 4 new music videos.

“Universal is not a small mom-and-pop store … And for them to say, ‘we believe in Jin, we believe in this album, we want to support it, throw money into it.’ That right there to me is almost like I haven’t won the war but that’s one battle won already,” Jin said.

Universal Music Hong Kong Assistant General Manager Ho Pak-kin said the rap album would be considered a success if it sold 8,000 to 10,000 copies.
