Tosh Zhang in Lim Peh Music Video

Tosh Zhang from "Ah Boys To Men", has recently collaborated with a Singaporean rapper, who goes by the moniker of "Shigga Shay" on a localized rap song.

Here's the video!

ShiGGa Shay - LimPeh (Official Music Video) feat. Tosh Rock



The music video is shot with a vintage gangster theme in the back alleys of Singapore. With stylized graphics and smatterings of Hokkien & English Rap.

Loving the key art.
Got the Feel.. very WOO SEH (Cool).


The genre and style reminded me of the LA Boyz and the Machi group from Taiwan.




The subject matter, however, is skewed towards familiar Singaporean culture, such as buying 4D and Hello Kitty, struggles with finance woes and fears of losing out or falling behind. With interjections of angst, stylized swagger and youth rebellion.

Some parts of the video is actually kinda funny.
I guess they couldn't be too serious with the gang theme. So they made the gang fight look kiddy.  

For most part of the song, they keep chanting and repeating " I AM LIM PEH" which means "I AM YOUR DADDY!" in a totally antagonistic way. This usage of this phrase is likely to lead to a fight. Would not recommend the usage of it in common lingo unless your friends know you are joking.


My Favorite part in the beginning is when they used roti prata as turn tables. hahahaha...





The single is available at iTunes at S$1.28:

It reached the Number One spot on the iTunes Singapore Store during late June 2013.
