Phnom Penh Bunreas Pin, 24, AKA Boomer raps in a rented studio.Despite both his mother and father being Khmer, his US gang tatoos immediately mark him out as an outsider to other Cambodians. Boomer is one of several hundreds young US Cambodian's who have been permanently deported back to the country they fled over twenty years ago, never to return to the US again. Boomer is a fighter and is attempting to return to the US in the form of music. Growing up in Stockton, California, a city renowned for its hip hop scene, he spent a lot of his time surrounded by music and joined a recording studio before he was arrested. He now writes lyrics about his situation, about life as a deportee stuck in Cambodia and what the future holds.
