Jin has lived many lives as one of the first Asian MCs to really make a name for himself globally. He recently hooked up with On the Radar Radio and ripped the booth in half. To start his freestyle session, he paid tribute to Nas’ ‘Nas is Like,’ by reciting the legend’s first few lines of his song. And then an explosion.

Jin gets going on his freestyle with these lines, “While y’all chasing streams trying to go viral/You couldn’t take my spot if I [Spotify] gave you the title.” Jin takes the loungy beat and really rides it smoothly. He calls back to Nasir a few times, talks about sipping boba tea with NORE on Drink Champs, and says that the new rappers will be around as long as an IG story.

It’s great to see legends like MC Jin take to new media and run through it. On the Radar Radio is one of the best things going in Hip Hop so we want to see more of it.
