He has previously won seven straight Freestyle Friday competitions on BET\u2019s <strong>\u201c106 &#038; Park\u201d<\/strong> which has put him in their <strong>Hall of Fame<\/strong>. His accomplishment on BET lead to a deal with Ruff Ryders record label but he broke ties in 2005. <\/p>\n<p>While his Cantonese rap is on the rise, Jin hasn\u2019t given up working in English. He recently released an English mixtape in Hong Kong called <strong>Free Rap Mixtape<\/strong> under <strong>Universal<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to a sample<\/strong><br \/>\n<object
