Mc Jin China Mac
Rappers China Mac and MC Jin have finally buried the hatchet 19 years after a shooting incident at a New York club that landed the former in jail. In a recent Instagram post, China Mac, whose real name is Raymond Yu, posted a picture of himself and fellow rapper MC Jin, also known as Jin Au-Yeung, appearing to shake hands.
The shooting incident happened in 2003 when Jin allegedly disrespected the wife of one of China Mac’s friends, who was in prison at the time.
China Mac then confronted Jin inside the bathroom of Yello, a club in New York City. But one of Jin’s associates, fellow rapper Christopher Louie, allegedly rushed in with a knife
China Mac immediately took out a gun and pointed it towards Louie’s head. But as he was about to pull the trigger, the gun jammed. He tried again but ended up shooting the man in the back.
After the incident, China Mac went on the run for over a year before he was apprehended in Seattle while trying to flee to Canada. The rapper spent 10 years in prison for the shooting incident.
Although the photo of the two rappers shown together side-by-side was posted recently, China Mac said in an interview with Vlad TV after his release from prison in 2014 that the bad blood between them had been put to rest.

The Rise, Fall, and Rise Again of MC Jin
Jin Au-Yeung was 19 years old when the “big break” came. Known as MC Jin, the Miami-born rapper is most widely recognized as the first Asian-American rapper to be signed by a major record label. During that first wave, Jin looked unstoppable. Even early Urban Dictionary entries defined “jin” as “the future of hip hop” and “the best freestyle [sic] MC out there right now.”
But after his first studio album tanked in the U.S., Jin stepped out of the spotlight and eventually out of the country, ending up in Hong Kong where he was heralded as “the changing face of Cantopop”–a man whose face seemed to be “emblazoned across our entire city.”
Success flooded Jin’s life for years abroad, but now the 32-year-old rapper is back in America. After a decade of highs and lows, and a newfound devotion to faith, Jin has released the album he says he wished the world got to hear 13 years ago.
For Jin’s fans, his meteoric rise to fame is legendary. A year after moving to New York City with his family in 2001, 19-year-old Jin found his way onto BET’s 106 & Park for the show’s weekly “Freestyle Friday” rap battle competition and faced off against reigning champion Hassan, who was well on his way to the show’s Hall of Fame.
