Kero One is one of my personal heroes as he MC and producer who had a dream and went after it. He has good taste in music and that what music really comes down to, quality. One of the few notable Korean American hip-hop artists that I know of besides Chan.
"Kero One originally worked as a web designer, making 50 copies of his first single with home equipment and personal credit cards. One of the copies was purchased at a record shop in Tokyo by a Japanese DJ, who generated interest for Kero One by playing it at a club. A Japanese record label then requested 3000 copies of the single, which led to performances throughout Japan. In 2005, Kero One released the self-produced album, "Windmills of the Soul,"" (Wikipedia)
