Malaysia’s Hip-Hop scene grew in acceptance in the early 1990s with acts like 4U2C, KRU and Nico leading the way.  However, the recognition of it as a major music segment was still significantly questionable, at that moment at least.  Its mainstream identity received a major boost when acts like Poetic Ammo, Too Phat and Teh Tarik Crew hit the scene, taking the local underground scene to the surface.

The successes of those local acts spawned the birth of a number of independent hip-hop record labels, facilitating the growth of Hip-Hop in Malaysia.  The underground circuit grew and today, Malaysian Hip-Hop acts hold their own in the region.

To the further encourage the growth and development of the industry, along with the need to educate and expose the community, the KL Hip-Hop Festival idea was mooted as a platform to bring the industry and community together.

Music transcends all boundaries and the KL Hip-Hop Festival seeks to unify those who identify with its music and sub-culture.  Promoting its positives through music, art, dance and the distinct lifestyle components that intertwine them together, this one day event will see the coming together of some of the regions top artistes and their fans.  

Built around the core facets of Hip-Hop music and lifestyle, workshops will be held throughout the day, providing insights to break-dancing, turn-tabling (DJ-ing), MC-ing and rhyming, along with graffiti art.  Hip-Hop has its own subculture and brings along a “bling-bling” fashion sense.  As such, a bazaar will be set up to showcase some of the Hip-Hop’s latest looks and brands.

As it is a commonly used phrase in the industry, “Hip-Hop don’t stop!” and this festival hopes to grow into an annual event.  Hip-Hop culture has carved a niche for itself all over the world.  From Japan to Thailand, from China to Indonesia, hip-hop adds colour and life across all societies. 

Suki! Faizal Tahir! Ayu! Shila! All these great names emerged from the critically acclaimed reality singing competition One In A Million and have also made a name for themselves in the music industry.

The successful and well received reality singing competition will return for the third season with the lucrative and amazing RM1, 000, 000 price money to be given away to its brand new champion as announced today by 8TV Chief Executive Officer, Encik Ahmad Izham Omar.

Over the two seasons, the innovative talent-search reality show has managed to successfully captivate the attention of viewers, critics and the media with its attractive yet original concept and widespread appeal, leaving it as the best quality reality singing competition in Malaysia.

“Based on its first and second year’s successes and statistics, One In A Million has not only proven itself to be a signature programme for 8TV, but also one that has captured the talent and imagination of a large mainstream audience with its bold, creative format and talented participants,” says Encik Ahmad Izham Omar, 8TV’s Chief Executive Officer.

Izham also adds that “This season is set to be more outstanding with tougher judging and higher expectations. In order to continue giving the best quality for the show, we hope to seek for new talents that will best fit the requirements to be the winner of this competition, adding to a more intense competition,”

The foremost question which comes to mind, is Omar now venturing into song and who knows, perhaps dance as well?  Well, Omar was quick to elaborate and clarify that he identifies his singing style to be closer to that of the late and legendary Frank Sinatra, known to be more of a crooner rather than a song and dance entertainer, and if one is to find any measure of similarity to a more recent contemporary icon, it would be the likes of Harry Connick Jr.  

In Omar debut album, he features a mix genre catering to all listeners.  A bossa and jazz tune in “Pancaroba” and “Hujan Di Tengahari”, pop ethnic as in “Dia” composed by Mohar, a dance mix by Rudy@the Rude Boy in “Aku Cuba” and many more.

Omar believes in doing good while doing fine.  Hence when he launches his debut album, ‘Dia (Yang Satu)’ he very much wants to do his part to contribute to the welfare of the less fortunate.  

Based on the premise that music and charity can be very much in sync with each other and that charity begins at home, Omar is initiating a charity drive during this album launch.  It was through reading an overwhelming article written by a feature journalist in the local papers which focused on the plight of some 30 hardcore poor families and third generation squatters in Taman Sentul Utama, a low-cost flat sandwiched between far more prestigious and privileged residential communities which provided the impetus for Omar to do his bit.  

As such, all proceeds from the sale of this maiden album effort will be donated to these affected families.  Any small contribution can and will still make a difference towards this noble cause.  

Omar’s debut Album is being launched at 8.00 pm on the 28th October, 2008 at the Saloma Theatre and Bistro, MATIC, Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur.
