A 34-minute documentary called Brown Like Dat: South Asians and Hip Hop is screening Jan. 15 in Manhattan.

… gives a voice to South Asian MCs, beatboxers, spoken word artists and producers. With hip-hop as its lens… these artists speak on everything from racial profiling post-9/11 to identity in second-generation immigrant communities… Featured Artists: Abstract Vision Humanity, Chee Malabar from Himalayan Project, D’Lo, Jugular, Karmacy, and MC Kabir.

Saturday, January 15th, 5pm and 7pm, Two Boots Pioneer Theater, 155 East 3rd Street (at Avenue A), $9, advance tix strongly recommended (they usually sell out)
I dig Karmacy in particular (disclaimer: one of the guys in the group is a friend). Listen to some tracks.

I second that. One of the best hip hop performances I've ever seen was Karmacy at last year's Artwallah Festival.
