Diggin' in the Crates: Vol. 2

Jin Au-Yeung, quite possibly the most notable Chinese rapper in all of hip-hop, was widely known in the early 2000s for his freestyling prowess. This was most obviously seen on BET's 106 and Park, where Jin reigned supreme on the Freestyle Friday segment, eventually getting inducted into the hall of fame. Despite becoming somewhat famous, he never gained mainstream success in America (although he arguably did become the pride of China) and returned home to Hong Kong. There he dabbled as a Christian emcee, while still maintaining his skill on the microphone. Check out some Jin. This one is called "Get Your Hands Off Me." Produced by Swizz Beats, it was overlooked by many in the business. But a Jin fan like me has to let you guys hear it.

P.S. You might recognize the beat. Shawty Lo sampled it for his song "Dey Know."
