In Search of Khmer Hip Hop Part 6
A mixed bag today:
01. Nokia sponsors hip hop fun at Casa (click to enlarge)
With convenient afternoon hours, if your parents disapprove, you can just say you went to the mall. http://khmer.cc/community/t.c?b=4&t=2188
02. Khmer Esian - Lux & Naa
Who will I rely on?
1. How do you do
2. Who will I rely on?
3. I go too
4. Meet love in happy birthday
5. Dance happy
6. All rise
7. Why
8. Let me be sorry
9. Bad Love
10. Goodbye
This appears to be about a year old, and mostly in the vein of Puff Daddy 'Hip Hop Karaoke' - Khmer lyrics over existing commercial tracks. Corrections, revisions, updates welcome.
03. Here's the rough transcription (Jinja phonetics) of the Khmer titles from Kim Lekhena and Pich Sohphea that WFMU blogged up... I believe the 'Final Countdown' track actually has a different title, it's a love song.
1. Chang sdap bot pleng noe neaq - (I) want to listen to pop music
- DJ Lux + Kim Leakena
2. Chakralek DJ - Poke the DJ
- DJ Lux + Kim Leakena
3. Proh anjaret - Boy (of poor character)
- Kim Leakena
4. Chuep neak mien vibak snae - Meet person with love problem
(in context of radio call-in show)
- Kim Leakena
5. (Final Countdown Cover) Unknown
- Pich Sophea
04. Tony (formerly SEASIA) has hit the studio for recording in Phnom Penh! Stay tuned.
