NY Times Highlights Hmong American Rapper

Neela Banerjee - May 11, 2008

It's so cool to see a subtle increase in stories about Asian Americans this month. This NY Times video [1] on Minnesota Hmong American poet/rapper Tou Saiko Lee is pretty dope. I was especially interested in the end when he talks about performing with his grandmother: She busts a flow in ancient Hmong poetry and then he starts rapping with her. Have people seen any other subtle Asian Pacific American Heritage Month coverage that they're into?
