From his upcoming third album, Kero One is back with his first single, entitled “Asian Kids (iTunes May18th).” Known for his laid back grooves and jazzy hip hop sounds, Kero One throws a curveball here, experimenting with a dark, syncopated beat, cinematic synths, and a sped up rap flow. “Asian Kids” features Tablo (front man of the Korean group Epik High), MYK, and Dumbfoundead, bringing together various rap styles to address the often controversial issues of Asians in America.
Kero One states, “I rarely hear anyone address these sort of issues in the media, much less in music recordings, so I thought I would gather all my favorite Asian artists and have them drop their two cents.”
Kero One’s third full length album entitled Kinetic World releases June 2010.
