Rappers fusing cultures

They now have had their songs available on various international music-streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and QQ Music. Besides, the group leader said they have also considered participating in rap talent shows like Rap for the Youth, a highly rated show produced by Bilibili, a video-sharing site popular among China's Gen-Z.

Still uncertain about whether non-Chinese youths like them are eligible for the show, Laurence is already on his way to connecting with the Chinese audience. The young rapper said he will soon release several songs in which he will rap in both Chinese and English, a way to express his identity as well as honor his biracial heritage.

"In the future, I plan to make more songs that are fully in Chinese to reach out to the fully Chinese audience," he said.

At last, Unfazed members need to stay unfazed. "Unfazed means not to be bothered by anything going on around you, whether it be negative energy or negative comments, and just stay in your own lane," said the group leader.
