It's good to be back! While the AC has been fixed in the student center, we're heating things back up with this list of tracks from this week's episode. If you missed it, we discussed the rise of rap in mainstream Chinese language pop music, from the meteoric rise and influence of Jay Chou and MC Hot Dog to the varied and fascinating voices in Sinophone rap that are worth a listen. As always, anything marked with * is an unofficial translation I created for your understanding.
