Baldwin Chiu grew up influenced by hip-hop, eventually becoming the first Chinese American hip hop rapper. But when church leadership invited him to bring the sound to his immigrant church's picnic, he didn't get a standing ovation. “I remember some of the older Chinese ladies like going up to my dad, and my dad was like, ‘What are you doing?” I had a little scolding when I got home: ‘What are you doing!? You know, there's like, Christian Chinese old ladies!” But through his faith in God's calling, support from other hip hop artists, and even encouragement from his local church, Baldwin became the rapper Only Won, releasing several EPs and LPs throughout his career. Oh, and he's also a professionally licensed mechanical engineer, actor, and producer. In this interview with SOLA video manager Jason Chao, Baldwin shares his testimony, as well his thoughts on how Christian artists can grow and thrive, especially through pushing past comfort zones. He also challenges churches to think beyond what is “traditional” and remember that our God is a God who is the creative creator. Our “Artists in Motion” series hopes to platform Asian American Christian artists, as well as encourage all artists to root their identities in Christ and use their callings to share art and truth with the world.

On this week... It's an all hip-hop show. But! A specific hip-hop show. This one is all about the OGs, rappers, and MCs that didn't necessarily start the Korean hip-hop scene, but definitely took it to the next level but have now paved the way for the current and future generations. Names like Mad Clown, Supreme Team, Verbal Jint, Crucial Star, Epik High, Dynamic Duo, Geeks, etc. are all in here. All these guys can be credited with legitimizing Korea's hip-hop scene in the past few years which in turn has led to the rise in its current popularity and evolution. Not to mention all these guys are still pretty active and continue to put out heat. Disclaimer: In no way is this mix comprehensive, but simply a vibe I was on. So respect the roots and sound. Enjoy!
