Give me rap - but without the swearing, please

Hip-hop artist touched by death adopts a gentle touch

Five weeks ago the Chinese rapper Ma Jun released a music video for his new song titled King is Back, which he co-wrote and codirected. In the video, Ma pays tribute to the rappers of different generations from Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

As he raps in Mandarin, Xinjiang rappers appear with slow-motion clips that highlight the sights of Xinjiang, from built-up cities to sprawling deserts and soaring snowcapped mountains.
