Second Generation
After Acid's breakthrough, a group named "9mm" moved the style of Burmese hip hop to new level. Although the group's underground music was well known to the youth, most of their songs did not pass the Burmese censor board, and the group never released an own album under 9mm. Later, because of the group's political activism, even the name 9mm was banned by the censor board.
Other notable groups were G-Family,Project-1, Byauk-Oh (Firecracker), Examplz, On-track, Cyclone. M.H.A. (Myanmar HipHop Association) was formed unofficially. Many youth joined M.H.A. and inspired to becoming hip hop artist someday. From Mandalay, known to be the source of traditional music and culture of Burma, came many hip hop artists and groups even though they were not many as in Yangon.

Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“There is such a thing as food and such a thing as poison. But the damage done by those who pass off poison as food is far less than that done by those who generation after generation convince people that food is poison.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
“‘Society’ in America means all the honest, kindly-mannered, pleasant- voiced women, and all the good, brave, unassuming men, between the Atlantic and the Pacific. Each of these has a free pass in every city and village, ‘good for this generation only,’ and it depends on each to make use of this pass or not as it may happen to suit his or her fancy.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
