Future Asian & Pacific History Month: Dumbfoundead Claps Back One Bar at a Time

FUSE TV - Future Asian & Pacific History Month: Dumbfoundead Claps Back One Bar at a Time

Fuse is celebrating Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month by looking at a variety of rising forces who are creating Future Asian and Pacific History before our eyes. Today we're spotlighting Dumbfoundead, the unconventional Korean American rapper who's unafraid to force conversation about Asian American identity.

Born Jonathan Park, the Los Angeles native grew up in the city's Koreatown neighborhood, where an early exposure to hip-hop via random boom boxes quickly blossomed into a passion for freestyling. Honing his skills week after week at South Central's legendary Project Blowed, Park later frequented the West Coast battle circuit that soon led to a prominent web fan base. He dropped his first studio album in November 2011, followed by back-to-back full-length LPs before an extended break. His 2016 album, We Might Die, featured the career-defining single "Safe" that not only established Park as a rising voice for Asian Americans, but also showed the rapper's own growth in addressing self-identity.
