Evening Edition

Tonight we’ve had a talented lady in front of the cameras, when she’s not busy hosting television show for a good part of the week, she’ll be dropping beats and rhymes that’ll defy her small figure. It’s no other than Hunny Madu! or aka Hani Hatim.

Hunny’s talent was shaped way back in school when she was known for singing a lot of R&B during her school days. She notes that her exposure to hip-hop was accredited to her elder brother where she would see her brother pausing cassette tapes mid-track to write down lyrics and understand them.

In 2011, Hunny stepped into the musical foray with her debut album Pulau Janji. With collaborations with Anuar Zain and Najwa Mahiaddin, Hunny’s first debut was a good experience for her. Three years down the line, Hunny came back with local female rapper Kayda for the Go Hard or Gostan mixtape. Where the single Go Hard or Gostan topped Hitz.fm’s MET 10 chart at #1 for seven week consecutively.

Currently, Hunny’s the regular host for TV9’s Nasi Lemak Kopi O, Hip TV and is a proud mother of Eva Medina. She juggles it all with grace and timing that only those in the entertainment world could.

For the record, Hunny scored _!

Neal Adams. He would define The Bronze Age. He would leave his stylistic mark on the X-Men, Green Lantern, and Superman. He would take Batman, who had become a campy joke at the end of the 1960s, and bring back the brooding Dark Knight long before Frank Miller. He would give us Ra's Al Ghul. He would give us that marvelous fight between Superman and Muhammad Ali.

This week - the first in a two part conversation - Umapagan Ampikaipakan speaks to Neal Adams about how he broke into comic books and his lifelong fight for creator's rights.

Tonight, we got the slick tongued, freedom of speech advocate, the humorous rap battle fighter, Tang Eu-Jin or better known as Jin Hackman! We see if this banana could tackle tonight’s Smartypants without breaking his flow.

Funny enough, Jin’s stage name was a word play on the actor’s name, Gene Hackman. He was bored with getting people confused by with his last stage name so he dropped it. Jin’s a big man when it comes to freedom of speech, where he uses rap as his way to express it. His speech gets amplified when he’s on stage whether it be performing his own tracks or for a rap battle.

His first album titled Jinius At Work, released in 2009 was a real compilation to show off Jin’s skills on the recorded mic. JUICE Magazine soon picked it up and even labelled it as their Best Hip-Hop Album in 2009.

But for most, Jin’s climb were catalyzed by his yearly Rap Up YouTube videos started in 2009. By 2013, Jin started to collaborate with TAPAUtv for it. With the 2014 edition garnering 50k views! He’s working on his sophomore album titled as WHTR? and already released a single, Disz Joint in 2010. It quickly got up to Hitz.fm’s Top 10 MET chart. Jin earlier this year launched his new track, Banana to a wide praises.

Even more so, Jin ever since 2010 has spearheaded Raising The Bar, a monthly hip-hop show initiative to bring up new local artists up on stage to show off their skills. By December, RTB will be five years old!

For the record, Jin scored 5.5!

10 days ago President Barack Obama announced that Iran and a group of six nations led by the United States had reached a historic accord to significantly limit Tehran’s nuclear ability. The deal culminates 20 months of negotiations on an agreement that President Obama had long sought as the biggest diplomatic achievement of his presidency. Whether it portends a new relationship between the United States and Iran — after decades of coups, hostage-taking, terrorism and sanctions — remains a bigger question. To help us make sense of what all of this means, Umapagan Ampikaipakan speaks to Joseph Cirincione - President of Ploughshares Fund - about the ins and outs of the deal, the political wrangling that’s still to come, and what the future holds.

Tonight in our studio, we’ve had a man whose looks are as sharp as he is on the violin with his rendition of Vivaldi’s Summer, Josh Kua! With that note, Josh seems like the embodiment of a well-rounded man when you’d factor in he has a bachelor in both law and commerce!

Josh was born in Kuala Lumpur but was raised in Melbourne, Australia giving him a slight Aussie accent that we know. Josh’s story with the violin is one that grew when he was just a child. He saw an orchestra on TV when he was a baby. Engulf by the want to do and join one, he signed up for violin classes at the age of four years old!

Years of practice and experience garnered Josh the ability and opportunity to perform internationally, all over Australia, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, China and for his first time last year November, Singapore! As for being a model, he has graced magazine covers ranging from Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan and Men’s Uno.
