As of January 18, 2010, T is the "#1 - Most Viewed (All Time) - Musicians - Taiwan" (YouTube "EmceeTStaff", 2009) with nearly 15-million video views.

In August 2009, Emcee T conducted an interview with Anthony Randolph, who at the time was a small forward / power forward for the Golden State Warriors. In the exclusive 1-on-1 interview titled titled "The Last Hope", Randolph stated that the Warriors will make the NBA Playoffs in the 2009-2010 campaign and that Randolph sees himself on the Warriors until the end of his professional career. Many fans saw the interview as the 'birth' of Randolph as a team leader, but he was traded away the following year.

Shortly after the interview, Emcee T & business partner Ray Luv started Pushin' The Bay Radio, an Urban Contemporary-formatted internet radio station located in Oakland, California, and broadcast online.
