It’s been said that music saves some from the streets, and the Notorious MSG are a testament to this. That these self-described “Chinatown Bad Boys” have survived long enough to package their food-fueled electro-hip-hop into Lunch Money, a six-song set boasting titles like “Dim Sum Girl,” is a thing of wonder. According to the trio’s lore, Hong Kong Fever, Down-Lo Mein and the Hunan Bomb met as delivery boys on the thuggish streets of New York City’s Chinatown. Though they’ve traded in their delivery bikes for beats, they aren’t forgetting their roots. Check out the take-out boxed set for Lunch Money:

I was hoping for some absurd prophecy from one of the three fortune cookies in the box, and luckily the third one delivered! “You would make a good lawyer,” it declares. Note to readers: I wouldn’t (so don’t bet on the fortune’s lottery numbers: 1 38 2 15 32 4).

But who needs lawyers when you can fend yourself? “Once only fighting to defend themselves, they renewed their fight, this time for all their brothers and sisters in the Chinatown ghettos who would never get the chance to realize their dreams,” their story goes. How far their influence will reach has yet to be seen, but the limits are boundless with anthems like “Chinatown Hustler,” during which one member spits, “I feel no pain / I’m insane…eat a bowl of chow mein / I’m the genuine Chinatown OG / Original recipe: KFC.”
