#relaunch

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TAIPEI / HONG KONG — For over two decades, if you listened to Mandopop, Cantopop, J-Pop, or K-Pop, your internet routine looked exactly the same: open a search engine, type the song title, and append the magic word: “Mojim.”

When the iconic, plain-text lyric archive Mojim.com abruptly went offline years ago, it didn’t just break millions of hyperlinks—it erased a vital piece of digital cultural heritage for the global Chinese and broader Asian diaspora.

Today, after a grueling, silent two-year engineering marathon, a dedicated team of independent developers and music lovers has announced the official revival of the platform at its new home: MojimLyrics.com.

A Two-Year Journey of Silent Devotion

Driven by pure nostalgia and a refusal to let decades of musical history evaporate into internet oblivion, the grassroots team spent the last 24 months rebuilding the massive platform from scratch. Operating completely out-of-pocket during late nights and weekends, the team has successfully cleaned fragmented legacy databases, optimized search indexing, and redesigned the architecture for the modern web.

MojimLyrics.com is launching not as a commercial entity, but as a non-profit public service dedicated to the global Asian community. The revived platform aims to bridge generations, offering a seamless, ad-light archive where users from Taipei to Toronto can access rare indie lyrics, forgotten 90s classics, and mainstream hits alike.

The 2026 Challenge: Keeping the Servers Breathing

While the portal is officially live, maintaining a global database of this magnitude in 2026 presents staggering financial hurdles. To ensure the site remains fast, secure, and accessible to millions of concurrent global users, the team faces substantial infrastructure costs, including:

High-Availability Global Servers & CDN Bandwidth to support seamless cross-border access.

Modernization Gaps to process, clean, and upload missing lyric data from the 2024–2026 era.

Enterprise-Grade Cybersecurity to protect the public archive against modern web threats and DDoS attacks.

With personal savings entirely exhausted by the initial two-year rebuild, the founders are turning to the very community that grew up with the site, launching an official Donorbox Crowdfunding Campaign to keep the lights on.

A Call to the Global Community

“This was never just a website; it was a digital museum of our collective youth,” said the core development team in a joint statement. “We spent two years giving Mojim its second heartbeat. Now, we need the community’s help to keep it beating. Whether it is the cost of a single cup of coffee or a concert ticket, every donation directly funds the servers keeping our shared musical heritage alive in 2026 and beyond.“

The platform will remain entirely free to use, keeping the internet’s original, open-access spirit alive. Music lovers who wish to protect this cultural treasure can learn more about the resurrection story and contribute to the server fund immediately via their official crowdfunding portal.

About MojimLyrics.com

MojimLyrics.com is the spiritual successor to the legendary Mojim.com, one of the world’s largest and most historically significant Asian music lyric repositories. Rebuilt over two years by an independent, non-profit collective, the platform serves as a public cultural archive for the global Chinese and Asian diaspora, preserving decades of musical history in an open-access format.

Uptown Records officially returns for it’s 40th anniversary, launching a new chapter for the iconic label with a dynamic roster of culturally impactful artists under REPUBLIC Collective. Rooted in Uptown’s legendary legacy while focused on the future, the revitalized label is already building momentum through recent releases and breakout moments from Yung Miami, G Herbo, Trap Dickey, rising artists including 9B Meechie and Sunkis, and mega-producer ATL Jacob. 

As announced today, Danielle Price Sanders will lead Uptown Records into its next chapter as President, Uptown Records/EVP, REPUBLIC Collective. Joining her on the Executive Leadership Team is Natina Nimene, who serves as EVP, Urban Audience and Artist Relations, REPUBLIC Collective.

Price Sanders commented, “Andre Harrell built one of the most influential record companies in music history, creating a platform where hip-hop and R&B artists could break through and truly impact the mainstream with integrity. I’m honored to help carry that legacy forward and support the next generation of artists. Relaunching Uptown as part of the REPUBLIC Collective is especially meaningful, given its entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to artist development. Advancing this vision alongside the other Collective labels—and drawing on our natural synergy with Def Jam, led by Tunji Balogun and Kevin Lipson—is a proud moment as we shape what’s next.”

At the forefront is multiplatinum superstar, entrepreneur, and cultural powerhouse Yung Miami, whose explosive solo run has quickly become one of the defining stories of 2026. After igniting social media and fan conversation with viral breakout “Tea Time,” she elevated to another level with “Spend Dat,” the undeniable song of the summer. 

Since its April 2026 release, “Spend Dat” has surged more than 700% from its debut week while continuing four consecutive weeks of week-over-week growth across platforms. The record debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #66, marking Yung Miami’s highest-debuting song ever on the chart, and this week climbs 13 spots to #34, with its third-week surge securing her first Top 40 entry as a solo artist. The track also debuted at #25 on Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs chart and has climbed from #50 to #34 on Billboard’s Hot Hip-Hop/R&B Songs chart. “Spend Dat” is currently the highest-charting solo song by a female rapper across all three Billboard charts. At radio, the record was the #1 most added at Rhythm Radio and debuted at #34 on the Urban Radio chart before quickly climbing to #19 as one of the format’s greatest gainers. Beyond radio, “Spend Dat” has exploded across culture, reaching #2 on Shazam’s Top 200 Songs in the U.S., charting on TikTok’s Viral 50, generating more than 500K TikTok creates, and appearing on YouTube’s Daily Top Music Video charts. In less than 30 days, Yung Miami has also surpassed one million monthly listeners on Spotify. The momentum behind “Spend Dat” has led to widespread recognition across music and culture, with GQ, The FADER, Complex, and the New York Knicks all declaring it the song of the summer.

Hello!

I'm back, I know it's been a while.

If you follow me, hi, wow. I can't believe you are still here. Thank you. If you don't my name is Katie but you can call me Mac. I've been sort of on a hiatus for a little (several years) while.

There are a few reasons for that, depression and lack of belief in my art and it's value being the main factors. Also working on boats made focusing on art hard. But with a little therapy, and taking time off to focus on art as a career has helped a lot.

I've already been posting to instagram but I thought I should start posting here as well.

While I am focusing on nature drawings, I'm also going to try taking commisioned work for dnd characters, fandom oc's and maybe even some book cover illustrations.

I'm really happy to be back, stay tuned for more art, and if you want you can follow me on instagram as well.
