Cold Dust [Tenoli]

Watch how I somehow relate this one to something Japanese.
(Every week I enjoy the challenge of finding ways to connect things to Japan)

So remember that line in that Lupe song that went something along the lines of "I'm [Hispanic] mentality with Japanese tendencies..."? (Wait, you do know who Lupe [Fiasco] is, right? - Oh okay, good.)
Well, I saw him in concert 11/2008 and his opening act was HEY CHAMP. Although it took Lupe jumping around the stage to get the crowd excited about the unhip-hop like sounding band, I was hooked from the moment I heard "Cold Dust Girl".


I just remembered the Japanese guys in the crowd in front of us talking loudly in Japanese to each other and fighting the urge to say 「 私も日本語できる！初めまして！」（’。’　）

I recently got an email from the HEY CHAMP peeps. Not only did they use Japanese sporadically throughout the email (yay!) but they also send me a link to snag their first two singles from their full length album debuting on July 13th! I'm so excited! So, if you want a chance to download their mix-tapes (they are also DJs) check out their site and sign up! They've worked with a few Japanese artists (I mean if you're going to be part of the FNF crew you might as well love JAPAN! lol)
I'll leave you all with a picture of me rocking the HEY CHAMP Tee (same one Lupe wore that night!). This is an old school 2009 picture!

Looking forward to next week's post! I'll FINALLY have the kitkat video up! :D
