hip hop enka-sta?

Born in the United States, JERO is now an uprising enka singer in Japan.

What is "enka" you ask?

"Enka" is Japanese Country style music that is more popular among the... Well... Older people. The main topics in the lyrics of enka is mostly drama, love, and best of all, sake.

Why does a person like him sing enka? His japanese grandmother died three years ago and he wanted to sing her favorite type of music to her, where ever she may be.

Do not mistake his looks for any old hip hop star, for he has a voice that will make you bawl.

You should watch this on mute first. Just for kicks.
