Uptown 3000
Uptown 3000 was a Korean American hip hop duo on the record label The Machine Group CEO Alvin & Calvin Waters which consisted of Carlos Galvan aka "Cali-Mexci" and Steve Kim aka "Kwon".[1] The duo was a spinoff of Uptown, a Korean hip hop group which was active in the late 1990s whose sales reached 6 million. The duo is considered defunct as the original Uptown made its comeback in Korea in 2006, which Kim and Galvan were a part of. The group has been credited with being the first Korean hip hop group to closely resemble anything similar to American style hip hop.[2]
