The Street Pearls Mixtape (2016, 14 min)
"One thing I've always been fascinated with by hip-hop is sampling [...] You see something you like, I'm gonna take a little piece of that, whether it's conceptual, whether it's visual, and I'm going to incorporate it and flip it to make it my thing... to make it a hip-hop thing" - Mark Wong, aka Bboy Metal

Bboy Metal is a remix. This documentary peeps into his sampling techniques as he draws inspiration from the many places he's from to create art and identity.
