“i been rappin for years, but im nameless
im buzzin locally, but surely i ain’t famous
but see thats the difference between them and i
the love for moneys like cancer, im stayin gemini
that means i ain’t sellin my soul for no gold
or women, fortune n fame, nope, i ain’t playin that game
they say its just music, until it gets to your head
step 1, on the long road leading to death”
“my only regrets are the words that i’ve kept
take a shot of reality, feel it burn in my chest
you lookin for some bars, i’m lookin for some beats
you lookin for a rapper, im givin you a beast
they lookin for a fight, im lookin for a feast
im hungry, till the day they label me deceased
im bout to go to war, im done prayin for peace
stand before the congregation, 1 word ima preach”
So sings Hong Kong rapper Jae Rich on a new track he’s just finished called “Motivation”
Some say that the reason he has yet to make it in Hong Kong is that his Raps are “too Christian.”
“Just how many ways can one say they love Him?” is a frequent question whenever his name crops up.
Dunno, but Jae seems to find every possible way to Say and Rap it – and I don’t get bored.

“Too Christian” or simply Positive and Inspirational – or, as his new track says, Motivational?
Say what you will, Music comes in all shapes, sizes, flavours, colours, and messages.
Like Love, it what makes the world go round.
And in case, anyone thinks Jae Rich is some bible-thumping Rapper, let me remind you that he was the voice behind the hilarious “Henry Chow.”
Many tried to take credit for being the voice of “Henry”, but it was Jae.
YouTube Views to date? Over 420,000.
It was the Rap version of Russell Peters take on Chinese.

Oh to have Russell Peters and “Henry Chow” working together.
Don’t forget that Peters is also a DJ.
More Russell Peters?
Why not?
Fucking hilarious.

Meanwhile, what next for Jae Rich?
More beats, more Raps, more Keeping It Positive.
I like the kid.
He deserves to be heard.
And on his own terms.
He WILL make it – and not just in Hong Kong.
