Star2 is a new man on his latest single ‘New Me,’ featuring performances from Soulja Boy and Luh Kel. Set in a sleek, multi-million-dollar mansion, Star2 hosts a pool party in a backyard full of frolicking, thong-wearing beauties. Vignettes of them spraying whipped cream on each other, splashing Luh Kel and Star2 in a Jacuzzi full of hundred dollar bills, and twerking beside Big Draco in his orange Lambo dance across the screen.

The song opens with a boisterous string section and chronicles Star2’s journey from rags to riches. Star2 remarks, “Making this song with Soulja Boy and Luh Kel was unreal. The set was lit with beautiful women, water-gun fights, whipped cream and hella dope cars.” Eyeing yet another thonged beauty walking past the pool, Star2 notes, “This is every man’s dream.”

Star2 began his life in a refugee camp. Abandoned by his teen-aged mother, fleeing genocide from the Burmese army in Myanmar who attacked their village and burned it to the ground. A lottery in the camp resulted in his passage to San Diego with his grandmother and her four children. Star2’s ‘New Me’ began in San Diego as a young child and has continued into a promising hip hop career as a young adult. ‘New Me’ is the second track on a blockbuster EP that includes features with HoodTrophy Bino from Soulja Boy’s Stacks on Deck Money Gang label, Soulja, Luh Kel, CMG’s Lil Poppa, the iconic Asian rapper $tupid Young, and Sacramento superstar Mozzy.

San Diego based Asian-American singer, songwriter and rapper Star2 just released his all new single and visuals for “I Wanna Get F’d Up,” featuring acclaimed St. Louis rapper Luh Kel.

“I Wanna Get F’d Up” conveys the message of heartbreak, loss, and disillusionment. Star2 confides, “”I wanted to write a song with the backstory of the best relationship of your life that blows up out of nowhere leaving you wondering what happened- leaving you in pain and wanting to self-medicate. It was a dream come true to do a song with Luh Kel, my dude. Our song is the diary of a toxic relationship with a toxic shawty you loved heart and soul who cheated. Even though it’s hard because you really love that one person – there is at least one time for everyone when after a breakup you just want to be gone – gone from the universe.”

In the accompanying video for “I Wanna Get F’d Up,” Star2 and Luh Kel replay the song’s narrative using imaginative imagery complete with CGI and brilliant, post-apocalyptic landscapes. Star2 adds, “Making this video with Luh Kel was dope as hell. We used CGI (computer generated imagery) with a green screen to make Luh Kel’s car fly and to make me fall hundreds of feet backwards off a cliff into the ocean – swimming underwater.”

Star2 is an artist who seamlessly blends pop, R&B and hip-hop for an enthralling immersion of sound. Raised in inauspicious circumstances and born into a refugee camp in Thailand, Star2 takes influence from overcoming his life struggles, creating music that is bold, high-spirited and soulful.
