Cambodian-American rapper PraCh Ly told "Hello VOA" listeners Monday that he loves his work and does not care much whether he makes money.
Some of his songs highlight the social ills of Cambodia, the number of people living in poverty, for example, in the midst of corruption.
PraCh Ly is at work on his third album, he said, which he expects to come out in October, with both Khmer and American songs. He admits some people in Cambodia may not like his third album because he continues to describe social issues in Cambodia.
One listener asked PraCh to import his CDs for sale in Cambodia. The CDs can be purchased online for now, PraCh Ly said, at www.mujestic.com.
The CDs are also sold in stores in Long Beach, California. He was looking for help with distribution in Cambodia, he said.
Another listener asked PraCh Ly to translate his previous songs into Khmer because they focus on a wide range of social issues.
Many people influenced him, PraCh Ly said, including hip-hop artists in the United States and former Cambodian singers, such as the late Sin Sisamouth and Ros Sereisothea.

A Khmer-Star is born.
Congratulation for your great job.
You make us proud as Khmer-Nation.
Your third Album,Dalama 3, will teach some evils in Cambodia to learn and stop to suck Khmer-Blood.
PraCh,
I seen you in Madison,WI, a few years back. You're very good. I like your inspiration fighting for the feeble. I am with the DHFS. I am in the process making a website to raise some money, so the poor Khmers in the rural area can atleast have access to Clean Water.

My organization is not register yet; it will be "Well for Health"!
Prach Ly, excellent work.,keep it up. Use music to wake up younger generation to demand change.
my support all the way.
A Khmer Star my ass, stupid (3:42).
He's more of an Ithiopian idiot
like you.
Khmer people doesn't sing :" Kay Loeung " as Evil Yuon-Hanoi.
Those people who can't sing must relegate to rap which use street language and hip hop. ahahha
Khmer people have their own
Yike(yee-kay)base on singing and dancing! I believe Yike can be transformed into something modern by using more modern instrument with modern beat and melody! Cambodia has everything already except Cambodian people creativity!
Cambodian people don't need to go around copying other people just to look better!
Any song or singing that is anti-Vietcong and I am all for it!
To 7:01AM & 7:21AM,
You idiots! Haven't you learned that arts are very powerful way of communication. It doesn't matter what types of rhythm -- he sings as long as he has good intention or to get his messages acrossed.
But, PraCh failed because you have thick skull. Anyway, take your thumbs out of your Ass, and doing something good for a change.
Washed your hands First though...
Alright, I will write songs that
is anti-Ah-Khmer-Gringoes to help
out Cambodia. I am sure that Midada
Sapoun don't mind singing it.
Be my guess, Gringo @10:10 AM. But don't forget you and I will hang out at the brothel to Choy Mi-Yuon Sumpung, Okay!
Sorry, but no can do, buddy
(10:49)!
Dear PraCh,
You have blood of Khmer art, you have blood of Angkorean the Great!
Your words are intellectual than some of our leaders.
"You don't have intention to bring money out of Cambodia through your very small business in selling CDs in Cambodia..."
This is patriotic and economical comprehension, understanding and compassion you have assured us. You are very admirable...
But if we look at those so-called elitists of Cambodia, they are stepping on Cambodian poor and explicitly devastate them...they bring millions and millions dollars to deposit in foreign banks or built villars there...or honeymoon there or gofing there....or casino there...etc...so they are shameless leaders of modern Cambodia!
LOL, the idiot (Prach) has blood of
Khmer art, and he don't have
intention to bring out money from
Cambodia. I bet you (2:00) learn
all that from your stupid blue-eyed
professor. Isn't that so?
Big Congratulation Prach! Keep up with your works. You are a creative man, doing someting by your own mind instead of cocying other people's work. Your songs hightlight Cambodian social problems. Even you are far from Cambodia you have contributed to the emergence of new khmer thinking.
Bravo Prach. Keep yourself clean. Don't sell yourself like Prum Manh who publicly praised the 7 January, the so-called progress but forgot the K5 and the general Corruption in the Country.
Prum Manh didn' t forgot that. He just ignored it. During the Vietnamese occupation he was jailed for mocqering the Vietnameses.
Yes, and keep the good works with
song about slaves in Long Beach.
