Digi Ghetto, the six-member Rap outfit from Chengdu has already conquered China and made inroads in the US and Europe. Like a Mandarin-rhyming Wu-Tang Clan, DIGI GHETTO has numerous members and they perform and record together and on their own, naturally supported by their brothers-in-rhyme. And like The Clan, rappers MAC OVA SEAS, ASEN, THOMEBOYDONTKILL, TOYOKI, MULA SAKEE, and KIV who came together in Chengdu in 2019, have broken out on the strength of their tight rhymes and diverse personas. MAC OVA SEAS tore it up on The Rap of China in 2020, THOMEBOYDONTKILL has been labeled a ‘music genius’ by the China music press, and MULA SAKEE has been invited to tour Europe with Korean giants Balming Tiger.

Their videos have over 10 billion views across Chinese and Western platforms, and they have over a million followers on China’s Weibo, plus almost 200K combined on Instagram. At one point last year ASEN had two singles ‘Ghetto Melody’, and ‘Tuheiwa’ with THOMEBOYDON’TKILL that both got over a million YouTube views, and that’s not even where they eat. The China streaming and social media numbers are crazy.
