Here's the official SBS writeup:
"What do Australia’s Generation Y think about multiculturalism, and how do second-generation migrants deal with engrained racial stereotypes? Meet the band F.O.B (Fresh off the Boat), a mixed group of Malaysian, Indian, Filipino, Egyptian and Assyrian musicians whose savvy Hip Hop rhymes make light-hearted fun of traditional ethnic stereotypes. Says Christian (A.K.A MC Justice), “A lot of the time people just write Hip Hop songs about Hip Hop. We’re trying to break out of that and write Hip Hop Songs about stuff that relates to us, and stuff that other people can relate to.” Having built up solid credentials with an ethnic audience, F.O.B take their songs and message to a broader audience and perform at Federation Square, in Melbourne. But is Australia ready for a generation who are prepared to laugh in the face of issues which have traditionally been too sensitive to joke about?"
