JIN a 'Gimmick' ??? Sly (of the Sly Show) speaks with Emcee T LIVE on the Air...

(watch in HD) Exclusive, rare audio of Sly speaking with Emcee T regarding an interview Sly had with Jin tha MC. Jin Au-Yeung (born June 4, 1982), known by the stage name Jin, is an American rapper. He was one of the first Asian American solo rappers to be signed to a major record label. In 2001, he decided to move his family to Flushing, Queens, New York City. He began performing freestyles and selling his own mix tapes on the streets, in hip-hop clubs and wherever else possible. He quickly gained a huge following, just as he had done in Miami. His big break came when the BET program 106 & Park began inviting local rappers to hold battles in a segment known as Freestyle Friday. Ready for the national exposure, he auditioned and again was underestimated due to his ethnic background. Although he lost to Diabolic, he kept his head and proved everyone wrong by winning the battles week after week. His first battle was against Hasan, who had six straight victories and was one victory away from being inducted into the hall of fame. Jin began the competition by delivering strong rhymes during his round. Hasan countered during his thirty second round with rhymes; however, with ten seconds left in the battle, Hasan lost his focus and was unable to deliver any more lyrics and stopped his performance. Jin was then declared the new champion. After winning for seven weeks straight, Jin was inducted into the show's Hall of Fame. Emcee T (born on March 26, 1985) is an American entrepreneur, hip hop rapper, music and video producer, and television programming host. The self-proclaimed "Chinese King of the Bay (C.K.O.T.B.)", Emcee T is gaining popularity in his backyard - the "Yay Area": San Jose, Daly City, Richmond, San Francisco and the East Bay.
