    QUOTES ABOUT : p r a C h :



    "Can you be famous but unknown? Can you unwittingly electrify the youth of a homeland you left as a toddler? Can lyrics written in California bring a new generation to face Cambodia's greatest modern horror? This is the miraculous story of how a refugee named praCh accomplished all that, to his own astonishment."

    * Gina Chon---CAMBODIAN DAILY

    * NEW YORK POST-newspapers


    " Long Beach rapper praCh could pass for a wise teen-ager with understanding parents. But when he opens his mouth to rhyme, or when you listen to the fiery rap CD, praCh an actor's son who is 22, sounds like he's 22 going on 50."

    * Vibol Hul---KHMERCONNECTION.COM


    " I have to admit! the brother has mad skills. From putting lead to paper and drawing out sketches to spitting out lyrics. Prach has an eye for detail and perfection. There is method to his madness...I think this album: ( Dalama " the lost chapter.") is a testament to the evolution of the individual whose heart beats in time with music and whose flow is a fusion of experience and narrative genius."

    * DemRaw---C-Hope.


    "praCh is phenomenal! praCh is a bi-lingual Khmer-American rapper. He's smart, raw, talented, inspired, and so so cool." "I saw him performed two years ago in DC and he blew me away! I don't normally listen to rap, but this man had me off my seat, bopping my head up and down, laughing, and eyes glued on him. When I turned to my neighbors, I saw elder Khmer men and women doing the same. praCh is a treasure to our community."

    * Loung Ung: Activist, Author, Lecturer---.


    "praCh Ly is the most authoritative voice in Khmai and Khmai-American rap. ( Dalama..."memoirs of the invisible war." )not only shows his music taking on new beats and new sounds from traditional and other sources. The lyrics focus have a new focus on all of the Cambodian tragedy from 1970 to the present. Aware, furious, respectful, precise --- this is political writing at its finest. Like Nelson Mandela had rapped when he was young.

    * Geoff Ryman: Author---.
