ASIA RISING

HOW 88 RISING IS CHANGING THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

88 Rising is an Asian American record label that helps promote asian artists worldwide. Their famous artists are Rich Brian, Niki Zefanye, Joji, Dumbfounded, Okasian, Keith Ape and many more. As the world is hit by Covid19, artsists have had to cancel their tours and many fans have been upset about it. But not to forget, this is a virtual world. Hence, many labels have come up with online live shows and this is one of the most anticipated one that happened.
