San Diego based artist Star2 has just released the new single featuringacclaimed rapper $tupid Young. Entitled โ6 Ft. Awayโ the two Asian-American rappers return with a punchy anthem about their thrilling lifestyle in the limelight. Over thumping bass, a razor-sharp beat, and intoxicating rhythmics, Star2 and $tupid Young note on the lessons theyโve learned from fame and fortune.
Star2 reached out to $tupid Young very early in his singing/rap career. $tupid Young, an icon in the Asian music community โ the first to pave the way for Asian artists in the rap and hip hop lane. $tupid Youngโs parents experienced refugee camps after fleeing the Killing Fields and Khmer Rouge in Cambodia; Star2 was born in Mae La refugee camp in Thailand after his family fled the brutal Burmese Army committing genocide and targeting Star2โs ethnic mountain tribe โthe Ka-ren of Burma.
โ6 Ft. Awayโ is a burlesque style song with a hip hop twist. โI want more Asian artists to win,โ says $tupidย Young. He has collabed withย Star2ย on a six track EP due out in March with features fromย MB Nel, Chinatown Runner, Gee Kade, and Lil Poppa.ย The two will promote their EP with a tour beginning in April.ย
