Bohan Phoenix – Overseas

With his OVERSEAS project, featuring production from Ryan Hemsworth and Mike Gao, along with an appearance from MaSiWei of China’s breakthrough rap group Higher Brothers, Bohan relays stories about his childhood in China and as a young immigrant in America, while opening up about the challenges of being an independent musician in Asia.

Arriving amidst a Chinese government crackdown on hip-hop culture, including a ban on rappers and tattooed artists performing on television, the mere existence of OVERSEAS is an act of protest, re-establishing hip-hop as a vehicle for positivity and social change while challenging prevailing American notions about rappers of Asian descent.
