The new album from Chinese American rapper jason chu, living.room is a reflection on
growth, being present, and letting go of the past. Short, jazzy, and casually lyrical, it’s
music to bring peace while stuck at home with the world on fire.
living.room released 6/5/20 on all streaming services, with “Honor” as the lead single.
