ON MECHALITH MEDIA: SURVIVAL SKILLS

Note: I made The Hammer Finally Swings vid before I saw Survival Skills.

In the 2006 film No Sleep Til Shanghai (Raptivism/Imperial/Caroline/EMI), Angkasuwan follows rapper Jin Au-Yeung, the first Asian American signed to a major hip-hop label, on an eight-city tour of Asia. The film documents the experiences of Jin and his entourage in visiting cities like Shanghai, Tokyo, Taipei and Singapore for the first time. The film screened to a sold out audience at the 2006 San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival, where it was nominated for Best Documentary. It was also nominated for Best Documentary at the 2005 Atlanta Hip Hop Film Festival.

After making their indelible marks on the game luminaries KRS-One and Buckshot, arguably two of the games most prolific emcees, link up to give fans a collaborative album entitled SURVIVAL SKILLS.
On the surface the album is a testament to the resiliency of two lyrical titans, but at its root SURVIVAL SKILLS is a blueprint for life.
