F*** the System traces back to TRÂN's roots as an immigrant from Việt Nam. A love letter that bears resentment toward the restricted system of Vietnam, experienced while growing up, as well as toward the U.S., where the propaganda of freedom starts failing its people. Mashing up conservative historical elements with the raw energy of what presents rage, to break through the image of colonization. TRÂN redefines the expected traditional values of history into the unimagined standards of modern age.
