DALAMA..."the end'n is just the begininn" is praCh's demo/mixtape debut album. No money, no production, no problem, with only imagination and the ambition to tell his story. Recorded in his parent garage in 1999 using only karaoke equipments and an old beaten down speakerbox radio. Released in 2000, DALAMA made its way from Califorina all the way to Cambodia without praCh even knowing. The impact it made is quoted by *Newsweek as a " B-52 bombing raid ". Through massive bootlegging and heavy rotations on radio waves, DALAMA became Cambodia's first #1 Hip-Hop/ Rap album and introducing Cambodia a new musical culture. *Newsweek proclaim praCh as the 1st Cambodian Rap Star.

DALAMA..."the end'n is just the beginnin"
quote taken from media and press
"Can you be famous but unknown? Can you unwittingly electrify
the youth of a homeland you left as a toddler? Can lyrics
written in California bring a new generation to face Cambodia's
greatest modern horror? This is the miraculous story of how
a refugee named praCh accomplished all that,
to his own astonishment."
* Gina Chon---CAMBODIAN DAILY
" praCh's incendiary tales of Cambodia's past,
told in the defiant tones of rap,
hit Phnom Penh like a B-52 bombing raid."
* Adam Piore---NEWSWEEK
-THE INTERNATIONAL NEWSMAGAZINE
" A brash new rap album made in Southern California
is breaking the taboos by telling young Cambodians about
the darkest chapter of their country's history."
LOS ANGELES TIMES
" Everyone wants to express themselves like these guys
(praCh and his friends), but they're afraid...In Cambodia,
no one would dare say what those guys say.
It's inspirational."
NEW YORK POST
" Story, from the evacuated streets of Phnom Penh to the
freestyle immigrant mix of Long Beach...
he deliver a blistering history lesson."
* Sheraz Sadiq---P.B.S. 'Frontline'
" Khmer rap from California wakes up stifled generation
in Cambodia. Some people hope that praCh's music
will kick-start the creativity of a numb nation."
* Chris Decherd---
