Smokes was born in Pusan, South Korea, but currently resides in Madison, Wisconsin, where he is crafting his lyrical skills and musical force on a daily basis with the goal to become the next Asian rap star in the country.
Yo! Promotions is proud to announce the official signing of Midwest rap sensation and Imperial Music Group recording artist Smokes aka Mr. Asian Pride to its growing client roster.
“I’m very excited to be working with Yo! Promotions. It was only naturally for our companies to come together to take our goals to the next level. They see our vision and we are excited they will be helping us build our artist Smokes into the #1 Asian rapper in the country!” Smokes says in his official statement.
“Smokes is the kind of artist that will leave a mark in the Hip-Hop game after overcoming many obstacles in life that shaped him to the artist and person he is now. Yo! Promotions is proud that Smokes joined our client roster and people should watch out for him! The Asian community is huge in America so it’s only a matter of time till Smokes gets to the forefront of the Hip-Hop game,” says Yo! Promotions CEO Kai Denninger.
The first step was to reach out to all the Asian ethnicities that populate America. “My ‘Asian Pride’ movement is based around pride. I am Korean but to the average Joe for all they know I am Chinese or Japanese. See, we Asians have our own personal conflicts between other Asian cultures, you have Hmong people battling with Laotians, you have Cambodians fighting with Chinese and at the end of the day it seems so unimportant in the bigger scheme of life. At the end of the day we all are just Asian immigrants in America.
