The year 2000 was the year when Asians emerged as the only mainstream in American hip-hop.

DJ turntablism emerged as a new subgenre, and Asians were the ones who stood out in this field.

DJs were more popular than rappers and breakdancers at school. 

We all dreamed of becoming battle DJs, 

so we saved up money for a year to buy two Technics turntables and a Vestax mixer, and practiced in the basement every night.

In California, we often had house parties, and the popular friends invitd more than two DJs.

We played beats that were popular in 97-98, and suddenly the atmosphere became competitive, creating a battle atmosphere, and at that moment, we showed off all the skills we had practiced for a year.
