One day I was going through a marathon of Fung Brothers' videos. I stumbled to a couple of videos I haven't seen yet. One of them was a video that featured an Asian guy sharing his experiences of being a Yale college student.
Here's a link to that video titled "IVY LEAGUE COLLEGE 101" from the FungBrosComedy Channel:

Biography
Jason Chu is a proud native of Northern Delaware. He was given the opportunity to be a student at Yale University. After receiving his education from the Ivy League school, he traveled to Seoul, South Korea and Beijing, China for some work. When he came back from the states, Jason pursued the career to become a rapper. He currently lives in Los Angeles, California where he continues to create and promote his music. The faith Jason follows is Christianity. It is one of the many factors that influences his lyrical content.
Music
I mentioned earlier that I got the notion that he stood out more than most rappers. From my observation, I see that most rappers usually talk about drugs, sex, money, and partying. And almost two decades ago, rappers talked about those same factors but included gang violence. (Some rap currently produced touch on the gang violence subject but not as much as compared to rap from the 90's.)
Now I'm not trying to hate on the current rap that carry those topics. It does indirectly create opportunities for rappers that cover topics outside of drugs, sex, money, partying, and gang violence. Jason Chu is definitely one of those rappers taking that opportunity to heart.
On top of spreading Christianity, Jason creates rap music to enlighten his audience that there is hope & healing for one's struggles of everyday life. His expressions of his topics stem from his life experiences with friends and family. He uses these experiences to help his listeners reflect on their life and how they perceive the world. Creating this type of rap music will ultimately help Jason fulfill his mission statement: "Speaking Hope and Healing in a Broken World."
