For this week's #NYAThrowback, we revisit the time Julie Young sat down with 66% of Far East Movement, known for being the first Asian American group to produce a number one hit single that topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart - the unforgettable "Like a G6." Kev Nish and Prohgress discuss their album "Identity," how they came to pursue music, and why community is crucial. They reflect on how they overcame the identity crisis of being "too Asian," and how they learned to own who they are. In the words of Snoop: "You guys don't really have a genre, you're just your own selves." Originally published 6/26/2017.
