I know a few of you readers are familiar with the Pang Brothers’ work. The CHUD Message Boards have an Asian film thread longer than Tom Sizemore’s rap sheet to attest to the fact that Asian films (and their proponents) are making it huge here in the States.

TVT Records Website Buy Lumidee at Amazon Buy Ying Yang Twins at AmazonThere’s a certain reason why I’m schlepping out reviews here at CHUD and not Billboard.com, Vibe, or some other music site.
