Shanghai Shanghai (featuring TangKing)

Shanghai Shanghai (featuring TangKing) from Massive Music Shanghai on Vimeo.

After the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, and the millions and millions of visitors who came and went, the message still lingers on in Shanghai: 'Better City, Better Life'

Film Director Bas Roeterink, music house MassiveMusic Shanghai and rapper TangKing ('TK') sat down, took that message, and spun it around.

The result is a cool and contemporary track with an equally cool and fun video, shot on the streets of buzzing Shanghai.

The message is a pro-active one: 'Make a Better City, Have a Better Life'. A positive message that applies to the Shanghainese, as it does to any world citizen.
