Rate this post

โ€œBig Bandsโ€ is Star2โ€™s collab with acclaimed gold-record, Long Beach rapper,ย $tupid Young. โ€œ$tupid Young reps the Asian community and paved the way for all Asian rappers in the industry,โ€ says Star2, referring to the icon. โ€œBig Bandsโ€ chronicles Star2โ€™s coming-of-age in the streets of City Heights, San Diego: ย โ€œLook I came from the bottom, now Iโ€™m riding to the topโ€ฆgrowing up on the block, I been hearing lots of shots.ย  Pop after pop, all we hear is body dropโ€ฆI gotta watch how they talk, ainโ€™t nothin less than a boss.โ€

He raps in a gritty voice spitting the chorus: โ€œBig Bands in my bank account.ย  Back then I had nothing in my bank accountโ€ฆ I used to play with ones, I play with hunneds now.ย  Youโ€™re gonna notice me โ€“ every time you come around!โ€

$tupid Young takes it from there: โ€œBig Bands in my bank account, hop out with the gang, do my thing and bounce. You pcโ€™d up, took the scary route, we came broad-day and aired it out.โ€

The video tells the story of a bank hold-up, Star2 in the getaway car. ย $tupid Young wears his trademark Golden โ€œAfficialsโ€ Ace-of-Spades necklace: Star2 his Teddy Bear chain. The pair use their ill-gotten gains to go to a strip club โ€œBig Bandyโ€ and make it rain.ย  The track features dramatic staccato strings and a series of mysterious minor-chord notes that repeat and trail off at the end.
The track is the sixth on his upcomingย Real Lifeย EP featuringย Luh Kel (“I Wanna Get Fโ€™d Up”)ย andย Lil Poppa (“Real Life”). It follows his last two hits:ย “Thinkin Bout You”andย “Run Away”ย ย Star2ย recently recorded a song which features superstar Soulja Boy; the two have filmed a music video with Luh Kel to drop later this summer.
