JIn - Sincerely yours

The Chinese-American rapper, best known to U.S. hip-hop fans for his freestyle contest wins on BET that led to a deal with the Ruff Ryders record label in 2001, has always specialized in a style of rap that showcases clever wordplay—in English.

Two years after he moved to Hong Kong, the city his parents left for the U.S., Jin's rhyming skills in Chinese are improving steadily, he has a fresh concept album with a Singaporean hitmaker out this summer and he's building a burgeoning acting career, with a prominent role in a film about the early life of Bruce Lee due out in November.

The 28-year-old Jin, whose full name is Jin Ah-Yeung, was born in Miami and as a teenager moved to New York, where his rap career blossomed after he won seven straight Freestyle Friday competitions on BET's "106 & Park," putting him in the show's Hall of Fame. He won crowds over not just with quick, clever rhymes but also with blunt, irreverent nods to his race—a novelty his opponents frequently mocked.

Anybody that goes from being signed to Ruff Ryders and turns around and does music for God is the living proof that God is much bigger than what we have been seeing on T.V. What I am talking about is all the little hand gestures we've been seeing in mainstream, all the little symbols we've been seeing pop up on these mainstream arstists clothing lines, and everything that's been done behind closed doors for the love of money. God bless this dude.
