The graffiti of “7k for a house like a cell, and you really think we out here scared of jail?” spreading is quoted from a song, 5AM MINIBUS from Japanese-Hongkonger rapper, Txmiyama. Would appreciate if his work would be properly credited. https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1163083644333973509">https://twitter.com/CNN/statu...
We& #39;re aware that there& #39;s been no credit because people don& #39;t know where the quote came from. We don& #39;t know as well who originally sprayed the quote. Since it& #39;s now spreading, we just wanted to share and let others know who the person is behind the quote. Thanks!
This is the music video of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQInt9JILnI">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Txmiyama, whose song, 5AM MINI BUS, quoted during the HK protests is releasing a new song “For the City” and the MV will be out this Thursday! https://twitter.com/imjiannems/status/1196714535878479872?s=21">https://twitter.com/imjiannem...
And Txmiyama finally gets the credit from @SCMPNews and they even did a whole feature of him!
“I wrote that song a whole year before the protests, I was simply talking about my own life – I really was living in a 120sqft apartment that costs HK$7,000” https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3084965/tiny-flats-unemployment-mental-health-hong-kong-rappers">https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle...

“ @txmiyama isn’t afraid to use his music to call out the injustices and struggles that working-class youths in HK face, but his lyrical repertoire doesn’t just consist of screw-the-system anthems. Much of his music also focuses on the disillusionment common among HK’s youth.”
This thread is some of my favorite lines from his other songs, mostly about being an ethnic minority and our experiences growing up/living in the city. https://twitter.com/imjiannems/status/1197416858040750081?s=21">https://twitter.com/imjiannem... https://twitter.com/imjiannems/status/1197416858040750081">https://twitter.com/imjiannem...
