I am very thankful and grateful to the videographer who offered to film this, this was one of our tracks in our Ride Or Die EP that was highly mainstream based. Fact is a lot make bold statements of how the mainstream feel & overall concept is killing Hip-Hop. I call this evolving as an artist, and a lot who can't follow where the business & demand is are just wasting time. Everyone has their own opinions, not everyone has to agree with each other but only respect it. Though artists who stick to one strict genre/style and still do great with it, that's a bigger step, examples like these include Tech 9ine and Kendrick Lamar. The trick here is having a fine balance of growth and keeping themes like these that are more storytelling based. In my case, what I worked with DJ MOJITO here is a classic to us because it shows a street feel of Hong Kong & our humble beginnings including the respect you have to earn in order to move forward & be perceived as 'above the ranks'. If we did not hold the respect we have built throughout the years, we won't be able to be assisted by friends & associates that toured us around locations, such as Abacha's Hip Hop shop in Chung King, Dixon who took us around along with Malik. Or being able to request a shot at Pastis in Wyndham Street, Central due to a long-term friendship, this also includes the prestige location, SKYE in Causeway Bay. Preparation is key, but it's been a while since we came in empty handed of plans & freestyled this filming process. It takes a lot to build character & stand your ground with it, to be respected with what you do and be able to balance & leverage these relationships. This project was a really great experience and example of that, I thank the supporters + the free word of mouth direct marketing haters whom we don't pay a single dime to promote us. I'm blunt, it's really important to mind your own business so it'll pay you back in the long-run, time is too precious to waste it. If haters don't pay my bills, it's the same to you, go grow some balls + actually put yourself out there,. Good and bad publicity always attract what's best for you so you can keep the supporters. Look, let's be straight up real here, i'm beginning to tour + make money out of this & everything's working out. If you can do better, I will salute you with no second thoughts. But if you are here to complain and can't actually make a difference? Now that is a terrible problem there, so go make a difference and i'll support that. SCF-SAiNT
Hong Kong, a city rich in history and strong in culture, where new music & art is up-and-coming but isn't appreciated and accepted as well. With a massive underground scene of elites that possess all the skills and talent to get noticed on an international level, talents are quite often overlooked. The city is also known to be multicultural, but it’s own mainstream scene has a lot of potential and is still growing. History is yet to be written where Hong Kong’s music and party scene is to be recognised on an international level.Believing heavily in the lifestyle and culture of Hip Hop, with major focus on the musical aspect, Straight Outta Home Kong is a Hong Kong based international brand which was created to eliminate the barriers and carry forward the pride of the many elites who seek to create history, serving you the dopest of international level entertainment, including events, parties, festivals, and more all around the prime cities of Asia. Straight Outta Home Kong also embodies and concentrates on bringing its finest talent including deejays, emcees, beatboxers, breakers, dancers and more in to the spotlight, creating a movement.The direction is set with Hong Kong known as home to many. The perception in the eyes of many will flip as Straight Outta Home Kong consistently brings unique and fresh concepts to you over time. Facebook | Instagram @StraightOuttaHomeKong

Ride Or Die EP was an experimental project with DJ MOJITO x MC Amaze from my slaughter crew DBENT (Dope Boy). After our crew parted ways, we were still fired up to continue and take our work to the next level. Here's a taste of the Hong Kong International Duo, not only a DJ and an MC but also artists that push beyond their boundaries yearly to keep getting better with their music. This is just the beginning, keep an eye out for our future works and we will become more professional in the upcoming years.
