The Rising Asterisk consists of Bay Area natives (Remshot, D.Fusion, Tantrum and Dj Psani) who carry an "asterisk" in their moniker in order to show their audience that they are bringing new meaning to the notion of being a music making American. The conscious hip hop crew is proud of their Filipino American and Asian American roots but hope to help their audience realize that we are defining our generation as we speak every single minute of each day.
The "asterisk" represents defining the undefined within our communities. Our predecessors will be known as a people who worked for a better life for their children. The members of the Rising Asterisk strive to be the generation that had a life just as great as the previous so that their children may have a story as well. Music is the first avenue towards this goal.
