SET IN 1999, FEATURING RETRO HONDA VEHICLES AND CELEBRATING NEW “88 TYPE R” CAPSULE

88rising releases the official audio and music video for “World Stop Turning,” a new single from its new
media & artist collective, 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE. For its launch, the collective tapped artists Rich
Brian, Warren Hue and Zion.T.
“World Stop Turning” is a dreamy R&B earworm with cozy melodies. The singer/rapper trio reminisce on
former relationships, looking back on spurned lovers who won’t be missed when the world stops
turning.
The accompanying music video portrays Rich Brian, Warren Hue and Zion.T spending a Sunday
afternoon with friends and family, offering a glimpse into the lives of people within their community.
From backyard mahjong games to pickup basketball in the driveway, the serenity of the neighborhood is
the backdrop to the video. A further nod to the nostalgia of Asian-American culture in the new video,
vintage Honda vehicles — from the 1996 Civic Hatchback that the artists are chilling in, to the throwback

CRX, Prelude, S200 and Acura Integra — take the 88rising artists on a procession through their
neighborhood while celebrating the popular Asian car culture scene of this era.
