Honestly, there’s no theme for this one — it’s just me yapping about films, directors I love, and whatever else comes to mind. Consider this episode as you and me just hanging out, talking about cinema and everything around it.

So… do you actually know any of these women? Everyone can name Nicki, Cardi, maybe Megan, but female rap is way deeper than the charts. I’m putting you on to the underground queens who spit harder, stranger, smarter, and sometimes sexier than the mainstream. If you already know them, congrats — your playlist is on point. If not, consider this your cheat sheet before someone side-eyes your ‘rap knowledge.’ Show love by following other outlets: IG: https://www.instagram.com/soundst...
This solo episode came from a comment someone left me: “How did you get yourself out of a very low point in life?” So I answered. I share the lessons, the mindset shifts, and the little things that helped me climb out, maybe this can help you too.

Today I sat down with Hip Hop OG Doughboy (yes, he’s a big pro-wrestling fan) along with MKW’s Adrian & Coldray. 🖤 I don’t know much about professional wrestling, especially professional wrestling in China, so I asked them a punch of questions 🤼♂️🎤.
Let’s talk about my favorite musicians 🖤 and why I think relying on online music critics is one of the most unreliable things you can do. In this solo episode, it’s just me, my playlist, and some brutally honest thoughts. 🎶
Today I sat down with my friend Billy from Esoteric—many of you remember him from his OG influencer era, but now he’s living a whole new chapter as a young dad. 👶✨ We talked about Kanye (yes, kinda), fatherhood, and meditation.

🖤 In this solo episode, we’re going full Goth. Ever since I was a kid, I knew I belonged in this world—not just because of my naturally jet-black hair, but because it’s dark, witchy, and endlessly fascinating. Let’s talk about it. 🦇 Show love by following other outlets: IG: https://www.instagram.com/soundstories.official/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SoundStories.Official
I've asked Yvonne to come have a chat with me, being Third Culture Kids ourselves, we have a lot of common grounds. We talked about our take on racism, food cultures, and some other random stuff, hahaha.

Just got one of the realest OGs I respect the most — Wes Chen — on this brand new episode of Sound Stories 🖤 We had the best time chopping it up about all things hip-hop, clout chasers, why he wants to have kids (?!), and more. Go give it a listen & show some love! ✨
[Mandarin ep] This solo episode is about some mainstream behavior that I truly don't understand, like having a conversation in the cinema..Fucking WHY??? Let's talk about it.
If you're listening to this, just a heads up: the audio quality’s a bit rough—our mic had some sudden issues and we kept switching between languages. Sorry about that! This episode took a while to put together because of the complex subtitles, but trust me—it’s worth the wait. Back in April, I spent an afternoon at Zhongshan Park with Shixin Wenyue, also known as the Prince of Wangjiang. He was in Shanghai for his Grey Sun tour, which is already one of my top picks for Chinese Album of the Ye...
Sometimes I feel like the "self-help" industry is just like any other, there to make money, but this is with a mask of helping you. Don't get me wrong, I do believe people who write these books stems from a very nice place, but not all self-help books are actually helpful. Being in the creative industry, I want to recommend a few books that really helped me. Let me know what you think.
You have no idea how much I love music, especially music from the 2000s. So let's see this list that Rolling Stone made, yes I know I'm late to the game, whatever!! I only did from Number 30 to Number 1, I didn't want this episode to be soul-sucking long. So what do you think about the list?
Just grabbed a chance to talk to 2Hollis, we kinda just let the convo flow. He actually said a lot of shit I didn't expect, so fun! If you wanna see the video, it's up on YouTube.
(Ep in English) Have you noticed people weaponizing their incompetence? This topic recently came up again, and I thought it would be interesting to talk about it. I am definitely guilty of it, but I'm trying to do better. Hear me out...
I had a chance to meet this lovely angel and we just had a super chill talk. So chill that we jumped right into the conversation and forgot all about a proper intro, but it's ok, grow with me, let me make mistakes!
Ep. topic in Mandarin (Deal with it!) Is blood really thicker than water? I want to walk about it on my own, and maybe I'll have a guest for this later.
