K-town Los Angeles emcee Dumbfoundead drops a thought-provoking video for “History Of Violence” feat. Chancellor. The lyric video is more than just words, it’s visually striking with flashes of the destruction, police brutality, terrorism, soldiers, prisoners, street fighting…the history of violence.
The bold and graphic song is featured on Dumbfoundead’s Foreigner EP, which is available now via his newly formed label BORN CTZN. With the 5-track Foreigner project, Dumbfoundead flips the negative connotation associated with the term Foreigner, and explores what it means to belong and feel embraced. For this special first project releasing in Korea, Dumbfoundead collaborates with South Korean hip hop superstars Dok2, Simon Dominic, Tiger JK, Chancellor, Mom, G.Soul, Jessi, Year of the Ox among others.
Dumbfoundead explains, “The Foreigner project is for all the outsiders. As an Asian-American (a.k.a. gyopo) I never knew where I belonged. I had two identities, neither one being fully accepting me. Even when I visited Korea, my home country, I felt like a Foreigner. While I didn’t fully understand the language, I was still embraced by those who followed my music. This mini-album is my first project ever distributed in Korea and I wanted to flip the word “Foreigner” (which is usually used in a negative way) into something positive.”
