Message: Hello bong Prach Humbly, I have nothing to say much, in between I'm here to drop you my poor writing. I was really impressed and excited last night when I was listening to VOA radio conversation program about YOU. Actually, it's rare for me to hear news from radio; if I do I would watch TV. By the way, your words completely touched my mind, your real feeling about Cambodia would have also meant too much for all Cambodian people. Being Cambodian I've been so far wanted to express my appreciation and I'm proud to have Cambodian people living abroad has been trying to accomplish and contribute idealistic thought the way your greatest dedication and talent is admirable. As a matter of fact I've heard about you in the late 2005 through some friends of mind who really into RAP-HIP HOP songs, while I'm not. I can tell that I'm an out of date old fashion woman existed. Occasionally, I wanted to feel something different from my usual habit. My friends lent me some RAP - HIP HOP cds. I came to feel the worlds, alive changing and I got reward from the change as I know I began to love RAP songs just now. I did google searching for your site after I got office this morning as I'm really eager and curiously want to know who exactly PRACH LY is. you got more than I've ever imagined, it's not what I want, but further than I expected. I read your BIO, you are an amazing Cambodian man is being on the world of American popular music. I'm so glad to see Cambodian is on the world, Khmer golden era will be back shortly. Cambodia is famous of art, culture, architecture, temples and so much more. instead of famous of war. I could not help tell all of the people I work with about our speech and plan. My coworkers are shocked, but very happy to hear what I mentioned. I told them so much about you. I wish you could hear me when I tell them about you. It is very obvious to them that Khmer people support and being your fan, based on the way they speak of you. I apologize if this message seems a little bit scattered and incoherent. Maybe it is difficult for me to concentrate when I am excited to tell people about Cambodia. Anyway my English is not good enough as I didn't go to school, I came from a poor family. I hope you can at least understand some of my main idea. Don't you mind tell me how to get all your voice back up to my hard drive.Not much in Cambodia market is selling your original albums, thank you for being good to Cambodia. Thank you very much bong PRACH for all you have done for Khmer people, it's true from the bottom of my heart that I'm appreciated.

Message: Just wanted to let you know that your song truly resonates with Cambodian youths. It amazing how you're able to express yourself with amazing lyrics in such an eloquent way. The strength exemplified by the survivors of the Cambodian Genocide is truly and remarkably a testament to the human spirit of survival. I hope that your work will continue to convey to people all over the world that Genocide, such as the one that occurred in our country and currently the one in Darfur, is CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY; we should do whatever we can to stop it. Always remember-dream big!

After I heard your track called "Year Zero" 2-3 years ago, I was astonish and surprise, not just me (Khmer) who like Rap but Rap himself... I started to write poems, base on anything I see everyday in life, then into rhyme now I had afew recorded myself, hoping to be heard by people... I know I still need alot of improvement but that is how everyone start, right? Hit me back if you have time. www.soundclick.com/tarasha

I was in cambodia for a few months last year, i met with Kim, maybe you have heard his case, he's been exiled to cambodia after being covicted as a teenager and spending 4 years in u.s jail, when he hit 18 or 21 they sent him back, eventhough he was like 1yr old when they fled cambodia. anyways he put your cd in my hands, i'm a dj myself, i focus on mostly political hip hop, and i would love to buy any cd or vinyl pressings you have or are doing, you can contact me on this email address, any info you have i would appreciate it. Again your message is real never give it up, because realness in hip hop and most aspects of the world at the moment is hard to find. Peace- Jeyda

Message: Prach, Listening to your music gives ghostly vibes through my soul.I can relate tremendously to your life wondering why did it happened!Who is to blame, why was I born Cambodian!Your one in a Trillion with strong diction to put your heart and soul into your strong belief to speak on what has occured.Prach you are speaking not only for the Cambodian poeple but for mandkind.Wars have been faught.The war in southeast Asia can be said was the war of GENOCIDE,for the Cambodians that experienced it.I see the effects especially from my parents telling me stories about what happened tears will roll from my mothers eyes.I did'nt know what to think of it I was only 4 when we left Cambodia.I've heard lots of stories now about Pol Pot and what he did.Prach In my opinion POL POT WAS A FLAME NOT THE SPARK.I've done alot of research about the atrocity.There is a really dark secret that other forgein powers don't want revealed.When the trial does come the grime truth will come out.Suprisingly I believe I know what really went down.How the Khamer Rouge came about why was there genocide.I'm am fustrated as much as you are.How come there is no trial for something this serious?WHO SPARKED THE FLAME?Nights I sit alone wondering why was I born Cambodian.What is my purpose?Prach you give alot of hope with your music. It gives me rememberence and to all young youths that have heard your story. They can make a difference and do what is right.Thousands of Cambodians here in America have opinions factual or not. I've heard what they have said about what went on,but the reality of that genocidal war left millions of victims including my family and me.So my closing statement.Prach it's been really gratifying to hear your story.After hearing your story I can say I'm getting stronger and healing.

Message: Prach, Finally I received two CDs including "the lost chapter" I 've been longing for. This is marvelous. Thanks so very much for your every effort to send these(that must habe been tough!). I believe the another documentary filmed by NHK would be televised in Japan sometime soon. Singing about human nature, its tragic/sad aspect, such as endless genocide, has lot more difficulty than singing "..hey, girl, you are so good..." type of songs. But you do. The long way to go. Remember there're lots of fans around the world who supports you and expects great stuff turns out from your activities! Keep on going! Regards, /Sugimoto

Message: Prach, I saw your performance at the New Year celebration at El dorado park, I thought you were effective. You certainly delivered the message for all to never forget about the killing fields. I was born in 1977 in Cambodia, I am a couple of years older than you. My stories are similar to yours. I don't remember the genecide first hand, however, through stories told by my parents and older siblings, the pain and the suffering has been implanted inside of me. Like you, I have always been interested in this dark chapter in the history of Cambodia (Khmer Rouge) I just can't fathom that one crazy marxist group turned a civilized country upside down. My family suffered greatly, they were tortured beyond the human imagination. I still can't believe my family lived through that nightmare. I admire their strength. During my college days at Cal state Long Beach, instead of reading books for the classes I was taking, I would instead, check out books about the Khmer Rouge and the history of Cambodia. I began to understand how it all happened. I am a strong advocate for the memorialization of the victims of the Khmer Rouge. We have to always remember what happen, we can never forget it, because if we forget the genocide, we would in turn forget about the victims of it. Your message is a positive one and it speaks to many. Keep up the good work.

Message: Thank you Prach, for blessing Seattle with your presence last night. For years Cambodian Americans have been the underrepresented group, and at the most, portrayed as voiceless victims. But thanks to you, and other Khmers or non-Khmers who have done work on CAmbodian American communities and/or Cambodia, have proven that the Khmer spirit is able to rise from the ashes of atrocities and bloom once again like the old kingdom once did. Your vivid tales of the genocide back home and the social realities of America were trully candid and captivating. Even though you've said that you never intended to preach to the youth, I feel that it is the very personal quality of your messages that really touch them, because those are more than just personal stories; they also resonate with the collective consciousness of the Khmer spirit that is full of pain, yet full of hope. I am very grateful that you are doing work with the youth, and being a youth worker myself I feel that the arts, especially the performace arts, have the power to transform and eleveate the minds of the young, especially being refugees or immigrants, there is a lot of empowerment in making your oftentimes neglected voice heard through the arts. I will share your work with my youth group and other ones I know in the community. I will also check back here regarding your upcoming performance at UC Riverside so that my boyfriend will get a chance to learn from and be inspired by you. As a musician with a conscience he has been eager to learn about So Cal Asian American hip hop artists who are making a difference and I hope that he will get to meet you in person. Peace and gratitude always.
