The wait is FINALLY over. Voyeur Records presents one of the most anticipated Malaysian albums of the year, Point Blanc’s solo debut album, "Straight to the Point". An epic album of 14 songs and 26 tracks, this tri-lingual (Chinese, English & Bahasa Malaysia) album attempts to elevate Malaysian/Asian hip hop to the next level.

Produced by Point Blanc & Voyeur Records's beatmaking prodigy, Major R.E., this album promises Malaysian urban music of the highest standards.

“Straight to the Point” has been two years in the making, and the final result is an album that sets out to defy convention with its unique Chinese/English content. From Chinese hip hop tracks like Meng Wan and Banana to a modern twist on Sudirman classic Hujan and of course, English hip hop anthems like Show’s Over and So Fly, “Straight to the Point” is a truly Malaysian product with something for everyone.

Says Point, “Straight to the Point is very autobiographical. Each song was inspired by personal experiences in my life, and especially the last 10 years of being in the music business. I decided from the beginning that this was going to be a tri-lingual album, because I wanted to show that hip-hop isn’t about emulating African American rappers and lifestyles, but it’s an art form that can be expressed in every language and culture”
