Album Features:
● The naughtiest, weirdest and laziest children’s book, but definitely not an ordinary children’s book!
Have you ever thought that "children's books" can also subvert your cognition? "Xiao Ming and Xiao Zhi" looks innocent on the surface, but actually it contains mysteries. It uses the most colorful brushstrokes and the most restricted lyrics. It seems innocent, but actually it directly points out the contradictions and absurdities of the adult world, and takes you to appreciate the other side of the adult world in the most easy-to-understand way.

● The most innocent and simple childlike character is actually doing the most rebellious and treacherous things!
The two main characters in the story are a pair of good friends named "Xiao Ming" and "Xiao Zhi". Xiao Ming is very hardworking and righteous. He is determined to do something big and thinks he can turn the tide on his own. However, he is too impulsive and naive, which leads to frequent setbacks.
The opposite happened. Xiaozhi is a person who likes to do the opposite. He is cynical but also good at reverse thinking. He is meticulous and good at "destroying" all rules and order. He is an absolute destroyer! Although their personalities are very different,
Xiao Ming, however, has long been accustomed to Xiao Zhi's existence, and sometimes even relies on his "destructive power" to break the situation. What kind of trouble will happen when two cobblers get together?

● Carefully designed, every detail on the inner pages is full of childishness and conflict!
The brightly colored cover looks like an ordinary children's book, but a closer look reveals that the paintings are like an inviting door, leading you into a world full of contrasts and bad tastes; each lyric and illustration on the inside pages is unique, and every page touches your vision and hearing, sensitive areas and funny points, making you laugh.

● Face the Xiao Ming and Xiao Zhi inside you! Their story is your story!
In the bodies of many people, there is often more than one person living. They complement each other, sometimes exclude each other, and sometimes depend on each other. In the journey of life, they jointly created one "decision" after another, and these decisions also affected the outcome of everything. No matter whether the outcome of everything is good or bad, we should not reject it. Just like "Xiao Ming" and "Xiao Zhi" in the story, I hope every reader can learn from them to accept themselves and cherish themselves. The premise is that, as a decision maker in your own life, you must always have a clear conscience and move forward in accordance with your own ideas; face any problems bravely and solve them with your heart! And you? Get ready to face your "Xiao Ming" and "Xiao Zhi"
?

Song introduction text:
● "Two Good Friends" Ft. SJK (C) Serdang Baru 1 Choir

○ Song copywriting:
This song is like the theme song of Xiao Ming and Xiao Zhi, a pair of good friends. Let them join hands to tell you: true good friends,
If you fall, I will help you up... and then push you down the stairs! No matter your life's ups and downs (or downs)
There will always be such a friend, no matter how bad the days are, he will always drag you to play video games with a smile! "Two Good Friends" is the first hit song of this album. Children from the choir of a primary school in Serdang were specially invited to sing. The innocent voices contrasting with the ironic meaning of the lyrics can show an incomparable sense of contrast.

● "Nenenenepupu" Ft. SJK (C) Serdang Baru 1 Choir

○ Song copywriting:
When we were just learning to speak, in the exploration period when we didn’t understand much, our parents and the people around us would always use some simpler and easier-to-understand interjections to communicate with us, helping us to understand the world in a simpler and faster way. But when we grow up, we are also trying to figure out the so-called "way of survival" in society, but there is no one to patiently teach us step by step. The only interjections you can hear later are those waiting to see you laugh.
"Nenenenepupu"! The students from the Serdang Primary School 1 choir and Namewee represent two different periods, namely childhood and working hard in society, and they sing out the contrast between the two with innocent voices.

● 《Super Hero》Ft. Jack Lim

○ Song copywriting:
The erratic eyes and the increasingly rapid heartbeat, even if the lies are seen through, is human nature only about black and white, regardless of warmth or coldness?
People are chasing the truth in this turbulent world, lighting up this cunning steel forest, and becoming heroes to guide ordinary people to understand the sinister ways of society. The heroes know everything, but can they see themselves clearly?
"Super Hero" is the theme song of the 2024 Singapore and Malaysia Lunar New Year movie "Poker King". It was written and composed by the genius Huang Mingzhi, one of the male protagonists of the movie, and another male protagonist, Brother Lin Derong, was invited to sing the chorus. This is also the first cross-border collaboration between Huang Mingzhi and the famous evergreen Chinese DJ in Malaysia.
"Super Hero" tells the story of the encounter between Cheng Jialang (played by Lam Tak-wing) and Huang Xiaoqi (played by Huang Mingzhi) in the movie plot with a majestic electronic rock style. From the initial incompatibility to the two sides gradually putting aside their differences and embracing each other as brothers. The song opens with a slightly aggressive electronic synth sound followed by a rhythm guitar that indicates the two people in the movie are getting along. The chorus of the song also allows the two male protagonists to compete on the same stage for the theme of the song, and they take turns telling each other "I am your superhero!" In addition to being the theme song of the movie, "Super Hero" also hopes to pour positive energy into the listeners, allowing every strum of the electric guitar to sweep away all the dark haze accumulated in your heart.

● Datobeli Star Petpet

○ Song copywriting:
Star pet pet is a famous pet company in Malaysia. The two words "Pet pet" together represent cute pets. Stat pet pet's purpose of doing business is to terminate people's contracts everywhere.
In order to uphold the company's mission, Star Pet Pet will take the most proactive attitude, spare no expense, mobilize a large number of government agencies and media resources, and strive to fulfill its commitment to terminate customer contracts.
In order to promote such an excellent company, we specially launched this song with the theme of "Star Pet Pet" pet company. We hope that this song can give some encouragement to friends who are still struggling, and encourage everyone to be able to do so: where there is a will, there is a way!

● The People Of The Dragon Ft. Winnie-The-Poo

○ Song copywriting:
Malaysian genius Namewee continues the tradition and releases his eighth zodiac single "Descendants of the Dragon" in this year of the Bingchen lunar year, paying tribute to the melodious oriental dragon culture.
The genius producer finally got the long-awaited "heavyweight" best-selling author from another continent - Little Bear for you,
I am fortunate to be able to work hand in hand with this thinker and allow him to promote traditional Chinese values ​​in the chorus of "Descendants of the Dragon".
"Descendants of the Dragon" is wrapped in the rhythm of hip-hop trap music, which gives Mingzhi ample space to write lyrics and integrate the most popular and popular keywords in the East into the context of the song one by one.
To welcome the New Year, the genius also laid the groundwork for the festive and warm traditional Chinese musical instruments in "Descendants of the Dragon", using the suona to awaken the dragon blood in the bones of the Chinese people, and the broken sounds of the pipa like falling petals to set off the descendants of Yan and Huang who have migrated to various places.
There are also flutes singing in the middle and high pitch area, telling the story of "the process of national development and aggregation, playing a role of maintenance and centripetal force."
Drawing on the lofty traditional Chinese culture and extracting its essence, Namewee and Xiao Xiong sincerely prepare a bowl of soup called "Descendants of the Dragon" for fans and listeners. Friends who are familiar with the genius Namewee will surely sigh that a genius is still a genius.

● Ft. Anthony Wong

○ Song copywriting:
Do you still remember the excitement of watching Hong Kong movies in the cinema those years?
As a creator born in the 1980s, Namewee grew up with characters like Chen Haonan and Shan Ji, and experienced the glorious era of Hong Kong films. Now, seeing the gradual decline of Hong Kong films, I believe that everyone of the same age group has the same feelings in their hearts.
So, he used the common experience of "Young and Dangerous" as inspiration to create this song "揸
FIT" expresses the emotion and helplessness about the passing of youth, and invites Anthony Wong, who played "Big Fei" in the movie "Young and Dangerous", to sing together again. The two teamed up again after their collaboration on "China Reggaeton" in 2020, just to present this new work with authentic Hong Kong style to pay tribute to the classic more perfectly.
"揸FIT" is a song full of passion and emotion, allowing people to relive the youth and passion of the Hong Kong film era. This song not only pays tribute to the glorious Hong Kong of the past in terms of its musical style, but also specially invites Liu Zhuohui, the lyricist of the "Young and Dangerous" theme song "Years of Friendship", to write the lyrics for this song. The lyrics are full of Hong Kong style, which will definitely take you back to that passionate era in a second!
