Rap and Hip Hop are the most popular music in the United States and the West. Their cool beats and words gain popularity around the globe so quick. In the West, Rap and Hip Hop make a huge success in music industry. Just like other countries that influenced by this new culture, Cambodia also identifies with Rap and Hip Hop. There's increasing number of Khmer rappers nowadays. Some of them have made many impressive achievements. Prach Ly is the first talented rapper who represents Cambodia to international stages. Most of his best hits are about Killing Field's refugees which mirror the truth of the dreadful past. What I admire this guy is what he does besides music. Prach organizes a movement to help out traditional Khmer music and poor Khmer people. Pou Klang is another creative Khmer rapper. This guy is not bad at all; he mixes Khmer old school with modern music to make such interesting sounds. I would say Pou Klang can use more cool Khmer words than anybody else. And Khmer Thug has done a pretty good job as well. The interesting thing about this rapper is his talented ability of using both English and Cambodian words.
