Chinese American rapper Bohan Phoenix has been making waves in both China and the United States with his bilingual rap music. Collaborating with popular Chinese rap group Higher Brothers, Phoenix seamlessly blends English and Chinese lyrics in his songs. His latest album, 'Make You Proud,' serves as a personal journey that delves into his mixed heritage and addresses the challenges he's faced along the way.
Phoenix's decision to create this album stemmed from criticism he received regarding his Chinese language skills. Some online commenters claimed his Chinese sounded strange, prompting him to prove his artistic prowess. The album's eponymous track highlights his average grades in China and his move to the U.S. at the tender age of 11. Accompanied by a repeating piano melody, Phoenix uses this song as a platform to express his growth as an artist.
