Spitting grimy yet intelligent Midwest rhymes over Mister REY and Fatgums' sample heavy score, Nomi of Power Struggle brings a new rawness to Asian American hip hop. Originally from St. Paul, Minnesota, Nomi made his way to San Francisco by way of New York and The Philippines. As a seasoned veteran in the rap game, Nomi has toured from Italy to The Philippines with artists such as Aesop Rock, Brother Ali, Atmosphere, De La Soul, Lyrics Born, Zion I, and Blue Scholars. As a group, Power Struggle intends to represent the people who live under the fingernails of society, yet celebrate life with every breath. The new album, REMITTANCES, is scheduled for release this December.
