Big up salute to Officer Liu Li Wen who has mastered 100 hellos in 100 languages though his 'speech' sounds like a rat-tat-tat murmuring without a full stop.

Pimpin’ Muar

I ain't from Muar but this hip-hopper that hails from Muar (麻坡) has certainly break the barriers of Malaysian urban music scene which was long dominated by English and Malay rappings. Though it was humourously funny, this amateurish production feats rapping with a fusion of local Malaysian Mandarin with a twist of Johorian Hokkien dialect certainly adds comedic value of this rapper and a fair portrayal of his hometown scenario where he hails from.
