In a community where stories connect and collide, we bring you our episode on hip hop in Koreatown through a musical technique used in hip hop: the remix.

In this episode we learn more about hip hop stories in Ktown through four artists: 

Omar from Hist City LA, 

Rappers Preservear and Rez

and producer Jonathan.

All artists are connected through Hist City LA. They are a clothing and media company that hosts rap freestyles around the city, called “101 Freestyle”. 

Join us as we remix their journeys, creative process, and the culture they showcase through hip hop.
