BeiJing Meets TX : KRIS WU x TRAVIS SCOTT
If you didn’t know, listen up and pay attention. Kris Wu, a China-based rapper has collaborated with Texas native, Travis Scott in his new hit single “DESERVE.” The single was recorded in Los Angeles and has taken off to a new high since its release. “DESERVE” has been performed in both NYC and LA, and even featured on LA’s POWER 106. https://youtu.be/0_fLamP56FQ Kris Wu also sat down with GENIUS to talk about his track and the meaning behind his lyrics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agpHfJcbSOw “DESERVE” has gained over 6 million plays on Spotify and even racked a whopping 3.7 million views for the music video alone.https://youtu.be/pCdWnY4Dn2w Aside from his music, Kris Wu has established an acting career and even starred alongside Vin Diesel in his movie ‘xXx: The Return of Xander Cage,’ which was released earlier this year. This is a big ‘feat for the Asians that are trying to break stereotypes and make it into mainstream. The last time an Asian rapper made it mainstream was back in 2005 when MC Jin signed with Ruff Ryders and released his album ‘The Rest is History.’ To my fellow Asians in the industry, do not be discouraged, anything is possible if we put our minds to it. We may be the underdogs right now, but soon we will rise.
"Facts Only, I ain't spittin' fiction, say it with conviction." - Kris Wu (Deserve)
