New release by Laek1yo out now. Head over to the bigcartel link in profile for more info. Meanwhile some Friendster-era testimonials...
.
“Music with a conscience, holding up a mirror to Singapore" - Mark Wong (Ujikaji)
.
“These are the hard truths to keep Singaporeans coming." - Alfian Sa'at
.
“Once every generation, there will be a voice that calls for society to look long and hard at itself. This record and its artiste will be the voice of THIS generation.” - Rachel Koh
.
“This is poison. Stay away from it and slumber on…” - Philip Aldrup
.
"From a real Singaporean poet, the one and only Laek1yo." - Jason Soo
.
“Kanena Laek1yo! We need your music more than Fake News Law!!!” - Philip Cheah
.
With the release of this tape, the scene has come the longest it ever has... and maybe ever will." - Nanny State Noise
.
“Tian Tian and Chin Chin got nothing on Laek1yo. Finger licking good." - CT Lim
.
“I have said openly that if we were 100 per cent Chinese, we would do better. But we are not and never will be, so we live with what we have." - Lee Kuan Yew, The Man & His Ideas
.
“Chicken Rice is not a 100 percent Chinese album, but we live with what we have." - Seelan Palay
.
“The beautiful thing about art is that it allows one to perceive the polar opposite of any particular bearing, leaving one to question where he/she stands at this point with that almost new self realisation, having a battle between reality and nurtured ego. Art did not create duality, people did. This one right here is a great example of that paradigm confronting another paradigm. Comforting to know this side of music still exists." - Rajiv Singh
.
“The only way to live is not to die. The only way to sing are of the songs for tomorrow. Thanks for your music Laek1yo that outlast life and for defying lies." - Roy Payamal
.
“Laekwon Yo cums up with the dopest, diabolically retarded poetry. Blunt, vile, unrepentant, pain in the ass. Hits home like a mafxxking migraine.” - Vivian Wang
.
Only after pressing the tape then I understood what Cheap Buy meant... only then realised I kenna worthless cheebai-ed" - Zu Boon
