"Some artists drop EPs with six songs and see how the public reacts. Other artists put out a video or two to build some hype for the EP. And other artists build a 3D playground that hosts music videos, virtual reality experiences, and live performances in six interactive worlds inspired by different technological eras, from MS-DOS to the Playstation era. I guess some rappers write verses, while others create metaverses." Lifted Asia

“VIRAL encapsulates that same energy in its post-pandemic manifestation: An intercultural anti-capitalist manifesto, a contemplation on years of pain and progress, a call to revolutionary action, and a peek Thru The Window into the mind of MC Tingbudong.” - Radii China
