	Just Another Quick-Witted, Egg-Roll-Joke-Making, Insult-Hurling Chinese-American Rapper
		Jin was by then well into his run on ''Freestyle Friday.'' There was Jin summarily dismantling some stiff unlucky enough to be attached to the opposing microphone.
		Jin told me that he really wants to be known as a workingman's rapper, and the best song on his album, ''I Got a Love,'' a clever tribute to miserliness produced by Kanye West, the Chicago rapper and hip-hop producer, follows in that vein:
		Jin's eyes were glowing as he focused on the screen, scanning through hip-hop's history and his own.

	washingtonpost.com: Jin, Straight Up
		For Jin, this means honing his talent -- he's an accomplished freestyler who excels at battle rapping -- and establishing himself as both a rapper and an Asian rapper.
		Jin got famous in hip-hop two years ago, when he appeared on the weekly "Freestyle Friday" rhyming battles on BET's hip-hop program "106 and Park." He won seven weeks straight before being retired to the show's Hall of Fame.
		Jin, who was raised in an ethnically and economically mixed section of North Miami Beach, got into hip-hop the way millions of other kids do: listening to the radio.

	Jin Tha: Is he the Next Eminem or Canibus?
		Garnering unprecedented underground hype for a rapper virtually new to the scene, Chinese rapper Jin Tha has the lyrical skills needed to succeed at a higher level.
		Primarily known as a rapper with strong impromptu skills, some of his strongest antagonists believe that this will hinder his song writing abilities.
		Currently, Jin is preparing for his album to be released later next month.

		Jin, who was raised in an ethnically and economically mixed section of North Miami Beach, got into hip-hop by listening to the radio.
		The Au-Yueng clan was deeply shaken by Sept. 11, 2001.
		Jin once squashed an opponent in a freestyle competition with the rhyme "I'm Chinese, now you understand it/ I'm the reason that his little sister's eyes are slanted/ If you make one joke about race or karate/ NYPD be in Chinatown searchin' for your body.

	Jin makes a "Proper" comeback - Silver Chips Online
		Unfortunately, Jin's first album, "The Rest is History," was an obvious departure from his true personality, and his passionately pure lyrics were scrapped for the guns and thuggery synonymous with the Ruff Ryders.
		Jin was thus shunned by disappointed fans and mocked by his peers.
		Jin provides insight into the negative changes he has observed in hip-hop through his career, expressing his disgust with the deteriorating quality of rap music.

		IN EARLY 2002, then-19-year-old Jin Auyueng, the Miami-born son of Chinese take-out restaurant owners, appeared on the popscape like an AZN Eminem, winning BET's Freestyle Friday battle crown for a record seven straight weeks.
		Jin has come to this moment through a struggle we all recognize, proving himself to skeptics and doubters over and over again.
		Jin's debut, The Rest Is History (Ruff Ryders/Virgin), which has been delayed for months reportedly because of worries over its music and marketing, is uneven at best, a product of expensive doubts and hedged bets.

	Jin-The Rest Is History Review - Rap Music
		Fans have been waiting for years for the debut album from Jin, the Asian rapper who won the hearts and respect of hip-hop fans when he was retired from BET's hip-hop battle segment Freestyle Friday.
		Jin even goes as far as to say just because your songs are on 106 and TRL doesn't mean that your stuff is going to sale.
		Jin would rather have loyal fans that more royalties he says, but don't think he doesn't want to sell big, he just wants to find balance.

		Jin says he was approached in a bar by strangers; a fight broke out, someone pulled a gun, and LS got shot.
		Jin stands a good chance of making it in rap because he has an eye for detail, a sense of humor and he knows how to weave melody around his rhythmic delivery.
		Jin has also been criticized by Asian pop commentator Oliver Wang, who says the rapper's use of Chinese gang imagery in his video is a pandering parallel to gangsta rap.

		In his debut album Rapper Jin shows that pride in Asian American identity allows plenty of room for chart-topping attitude.
		Jin's debut album The Rest Is History shows not only that he can rap but that he takes pride in his Chinese ancestry.
		The CD is also chock-full of references to Jin's roots, including mentions of the Great Wall of China, basketball big man Yao Ming, China's forced-adoption policy, Tiananmen Square and the struggle of Asian immigrants.

		The 22-year-old, better known as Jin, prefers hanging out with his parents and watching movies at home to living large like others in the industry, glamorizing their lives through music videos.
		Jin's manager, Kamel Pratt, admits that the first time he saw Jin, he was quick to dismiss Jin's talent based solely on his appearance.
		Hitting various hip-hop circuits, Jin had his first big break appearing on the BET show, "106 n Park," that featured a rap-battle segment called "Freestyle Fridays." Coming in as the underdog, Jin surprised everyone by dethroning the reigning champion with his quick wit and self-mocking humor.

	Jin
		Whilst on the road to stardom, Jin fought in many a rap battle, and his ethnicity was often one of the things competitors picked up on.
		Coming from quite a traditional family, it seems odd to me that Jin’s parents would have supported him in his chosen career path, and although there were some disagreements in the beginning, his parents, it would appear, have come round to the idea of their son earning a living in the music industry.
		His dream was to be a rapper, so he did whatever he could to achieve his goal, even if that meant shifting a few units from the boot of his car.

	BallerStatus.net Features: Jin: Finding His Identity
		A rapper who's in awe that 100,000 people actually bought his debut album, The Rest Is History, and who still battles not just for the prize money -- which he's been racking up all over the world -- but because it's one of the four elements of hip-hop that lives within a true b-boy's soul.
		Most people, when they think of Jin, they know you were signed to Ruff Ryders, but because your not in the limelight, they probably just envision you as a battle rapper who just puts out a mixtape every now and then.
		Jin: Yeah, well it is what it is. Even if you look at the definition of what a gimmick is, a gimmick is something that's not real.

		Along with a shadow of a mustache, a buzz cut and the requisite baggy pants of hip-hop, Jin wears a diamond-studded, platinum chain with the letter R around his neck.
		Jin still seems bewildered by some celebrity trappings — custom-made racing outfits and cooing models at photo shoots — but has no problem playing up his boyish flirtatiousness or occasionally referring to himself in the third person.
		It seems that Jin, who has often insisted that he does not want to overuse his race, is just as eager to find out.

		Where Jin has been omnipresent is in print media with two pieces appearing over the weekend.
		Jin gets attention because everyone is focused on the issue of race and how Jin, as an Asian American, comes into contact and potential conflict with the dominant notions of Blackness that exist within hip-hop today.
		What the piece does do well, however, is paint Jin as just another American kid (race regardless) who's just in love with hip-hop and while the article doesn't announce its intentions in doing so, the way it opens and closes seems to be making that subtle point.

		After moving to New York, Jin was signed to the Ruff Ryders label — hence the diamond double-R necklace around his neck — and won a role opposite Tyrese and Ludacris in John Singleton's 2 Fast, 2 Furious.
		As for the future, Jin wants to make more music, more movies and extend his reach, maybe even flirt with mogul-dom like Sean “P. Diddy” Combs.
