Hmong Hip Hop

Local St Paul rapper and community activist Tou Saiko Lee is featured in the New York Times Magazine today. Check it out here. Toward the end of the video is a segment in which Tou honors this family's heritage through a collaborative art piece with his grandmother. It's pretty sweet and worth checking out. Plus, it's fitting for Mother's Day today.

BTW, last week's article on urban/gang violence is another worthwhile NYTMag read, but more importantly to me is the photography by my friend Reuben Cox. I am excited to own a great photograph by Reuben.
