He’s recently found support from Far East Movement and Three 6 Mafia, and has already been a hit in South Korea. Korean-American Jung Hoon Kim, who goes by The Legendary Poet, is a rapper who strays from what he says mainstream artists tend to focus on — money and women.
“[My music] is about life, future dreams, a little bit of everything,” says 25-year-old Kim. “I don’t want to just talk about money, but society. Life is all about the challenges.”
