We explore (lightheartedly) the fusion of Chinese music and Hip-Hop through Chinese-language rap (C-Rap). Lonnie and Q react to C-Rap songs that aren't necessarily the most widely known or popular in China, that our resident C-Rap Fan, Onion, presents to us. From these songs, we discuss the meaning and execution of cultural fusion through Jazz and Hip Hop in Chinese music.

Listen along with us!
