		China’s clubs from Ningxia to Beijing bump Hip Hop nightly and recently Star Club here in the capital had a raging night with a Japanese DJ spinning the newest hits to an adoring crowd of the young, rich, and powerful Chinese.

	North Jersey Media Group providing local news, sports & classifieds for Northern New Jersey!
		Manj sees the present as a very fertile time for young Indian artists; groups like Asian Dub Foundation, Panjabi MC (who recently saw rapper Jay-Z remix and add vocals to his U.K. hit "Beware of the Boys"), and even movies like "Bend It Like Beckham" have brought the young southern Asian experience to the fore.
		"There are so many [Indian] artists that deserve to be shown off to the rest of the world," says Manj, who recently relocated to Toronto to establish RDB's presence in North America and scout out new rappers, deejays, and musicians.
		And though the older generation may look askance - "I think they thought we were mad," Manj says of his elders' initial response to his music- the RDB crew revels in bringing together the at-times-fractionalized Indian community and other listeners, too.
