FM on THE SOURCE MAGAZINE BLOG again. DANCE LIKE MIKE TRAILER!

FM BACK ON THE SOURCE MAGAZINE BLOG!

check out an article on our trip to NY last week...click HERE for the article...

FM knows the routine. Fly into town on the red-eye, eat, rock the show, mingle with fans, then its back on another Boeing 757 to do it all over again. City after city, the quartet comprised of members Kev-nish, J-Spliff, Prohgress, and DJ Virman consistently deliver performances filled with immaculate timing and natural chemistry. On another hot and humid night in New York City, the four West-Coasters have made their way to yet another K-town tucked quietly in Midtown Manhattan. Waiting patiently for their Kalbi and Mandoo to be served, Far-East is chopping it up with several other prominent Asian-American music figures, soul-singing phenomenon Vudoo Soul and Hot 97’s Miss Info are among FM’s welcoming party.

“We won, we won four- nights in a row at Blazin 98.9’s hot or not contest. Just one more win and we’ll be added to their playlist,” shouts Kev-nish as he receives a very pleasing text-message. As he informs his group mates of the news a sense of self-satisfaction takes over his crew. It has been about six-years since the Far-East Movement stepped on to LA’s underground hip-hop scene and based on their appearance alone, the child-hood friends didn’t always draw applause and accolades by feisty rap fans. FM had to earn their respect the same way as any other aspiring hip-hop group. That meant performing like it was their last show whether there was three or three-thousand people in the crowd.

After filling their stomachs with some Korean-cuisine staples, the boys of FM must excuse themselves to make an early entrance to the night’s venue where they’ll be performing as part of a Mcdonalds sponsored tour.  “It seems like every night now, we either have a show or appearance to do. No more hanging-out with homies,” says Prohgress with a bit of despair. As their car arrives and the group is whisked away to nearby club Hiro Ballroom, they must quickly get prepared for only their 2nd performance in the Big Apple. Tonight representatives from Bad Boy Entertainment are in attendance, and the venue is packed to the brim with slanted-eyed clubgoers looking to wind down after a long work week.

It’s about 1:00 am and Miss Info takes over the DJ booth and cuts the music to a mute, after a brief intro she asks the finicky NYC crowd. “New York City, are you ready?”,  DJ Virman immediately drops the beat and the west coast explosion unleashes on stage and like skilled surgeons the emcees cut through every snare and bassline Virman throws down. With their signature call and response abilities, FM is able to draw the usually skeptical and self-proclaimed cool New Yorkers into their realm. “ I Love New York, I really do; the crowds here will let you know if they are feeling you or not”, exclaims Far-East rhymesayer J-Spliff after their performance. The FM boys controlled the audience that night, finishing their set off with current radio smash, “Lowriding”. Newly-formed fans mobbed the stage from all angles, trying to get an individual glimpse of the group’s members. There’s no doubt about it, the Far-East Movement has found a new home in the East.

shouts out to the homie MIKEY FRESH!
