For this initiative post id like to further explore the influence and expansion of Chinese popular culture discourse through Hip-hop artistry. In particular how specific channels through youtube can provide a platform for these usually inaccessible artists. ZHANG.TV hosts clips which at a baseline standard offers quite cinematic and spectacular footage on what seems relatively small scale artists, these clips are often showcased against larger artists including GAI and AL ROCCO. Throughout 2017, Hip-hop from China itself moved into mainstream consciousness further with the enactment of television reality shows such as ‘The Rap of China’. Chinese Diaspora can find these artists through channels such Zhang.tv and other variety channels (in which would be previously found also on sites like Weibo). As a Hip-Hop fan, I have personally found that the accessibility of these smaller scale artists to a broader transnational western context is quite limited unless the art direction, subs, and overall editing style of the Music Videos coincide properly with the preconceived notions of Chinese national identity. Something at which channel/label 88Rising has done quite well.
