Introductory Message:
My name is Ryan Chang and I am a senior at Taipei American School. One of my hobbies is listening to rap music. My top 5s OAT are Kendrick Lamar, Andre3K, Nas, Rakim, and 2Pac, but I have been listening to a lot of Clipse and JID recently because of their (relatively) new albums. Pertaining to the conference, I look forward to seeing the advocates scare and potentially badger the witnesses the most.
