Video: Big Bands By Star2 ft. $tupid Young

“Big Bands” is Star2’s collab with acclaimed gold-record, Long Beach rapper, $tupid Young. “$tupid Young reps the Asian community and paved the way for all Asian rappers in the industry,” says Star2, referring to the icon. “Big Bands” chronicles Star2’s coming-of-age in the streets of City Heights, San Diego:  “Look I came from the bottom, now I’m riding to the top…growing up on the block, I been hearing lots of shots.  Pop after pop, all we hear is body drop…I gotta watch how they talk, ain’t nothin less than a boss.”

He raps in a gritty voice spitting the chorus: “Big Bands in my bank account.  Back then I had nothing in my bank account… I used to play with ones, I play with hunneds now.  You’re gonna notice me – every time you come around!”

$tupid Young takes it from there: “Big Bands in my bank account, hop out with the gang, do my thing and bounce. You pc’d up, took the scary route, we came broad-day and aired it out.”
