The Khmerican’s Must Watch Top 12 for 2012 [PHOTOS]

6. LIFELAB ENTERTAINMENT, RECORD LABEL

While Mujestic Records has been hibernating the past few years, a new force formed out in the east coast in August 2011: Life Lab Entertainment. Founded by Jeff ‘JL Jupiter’ Lek, Phanit ‘Memo Jackson’ Duong, and Vyreak Sovann, the trio brought much needed ruckus (and unity) to the world of Khmer American hip-hop. Their first artist, JL Jupiter, debuted “Resident Alien” to much-deserved hype and praise from all corners of the US with singles such “Bad Guy” and “I’m Still Here.” And with the recent addition of Khmer America’s most under-rated rapper C Luk to their camp, we envision 2012 to be a breakthrough year for this talented collective of musicians.
