On Why Singapore Hiphop Cannot Really Thrive
Singer/Songwriter Imran Ajmain talks about the hiphop scene in Singapore.
Not NoiseSingapore, a government-funded youth program helped give a boost when they recruited Hiphop acts for their year-long campaign with their TV and online ads. I suppose we don’t have anybody else to blame but ourselves for the lack of vision, and that we didn’t even bother looking up how much buttons would cost because our beat was just so banging. If Nas thinks that Hiphop is Dead, he should see the state we’re in here in Singapore. At least the famished in Africa knows that they need food, but the struggling rapper here don’t know what’s wrong with him. No points for any of you.
