鍾翔宇, American Born Communist — ft. Xiangyu (Escape From Plan A, Ep. 118)

Hip hop artist 鍾翔宇 (Xiangyu) joins Teen to talk about his political awakening as an Asian American, and how that influenced his music. It’s rare that Asian Americans produce art and political speech as confrontational as Xiangyu’s, particularly in subverting American ideology and its official narrative regarding Asia. Escape From Plan A, of course, had to learn more about it.
