You’ve probably seen this Indonesian teenager audaciously rap, Rich Chigga. Seen the master of the Midi, Shawn Wasabi, mash on his keys artistically. Maybe know of the K-Town legend Dumbfoundead. Or just be a terrible person and know of Papa-Franku’s alter ego Pink Omega or Joji.

If you do, you’ve probably seen the the lucky Chinese number 88, which means “double happiness” and an Up arrow then. 88Rising is a collaboration effort of Asian artists proudly staking their claim.

Kris Wu, who just had his song Juice on the New XXX movie with Vin Diesel, gets regular play time at the channel.

Here at AmpedAsia we’re glad for collectives like 88rising. They’re out there proving that Asians can be outside of the stereotype and look cool doing.

Consider this your orientation and follow them @88Rising on any platform.
