FarEastMovement, the extremely talented hip hop group out of LA, just signed with CherryTree Records. CherryTree, which is owned by Universal, also manages artists like LadyGaga and LMFAO. FarEastMovement first achieved mainstream recognition with their song "Round Round" in Justin Lin's movie Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Since then they've seen their popularity take off, getting their music played in other films and television shows, as well as on the radio on the West Coast.

Hyphen was fortunate to interview them on the blog two years ago. You can check out their music here. Congratulations to them on another major milestone. Bright road ahead.

breyeschow Dear strident "Left" and "Right," Why is a person who disagrees with you about politics and/or faith automatically an idiot? - 3 hours 42 min ago
fluffysharp @w00bliette Eh. Not really. It will do in a pinch. Better to go down to Papalote or up to Little Chihuahua. Better ingredients. - 4 hours 23 min ago
