AURORA ANTHONY RELEASES NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO “CARTIER”
The new single “Cartier” is a braggadocious summer jam. As Aurora‘s distinct gruff baritone flows over the spacey beat he flaunts, “Used to drive Hondas, I took you from Hummers / Now you in Audis and ‘Raris this summer.” The cinematic black and white video which pairs with the song was shot by Jonah Schwartz. It captures Aurora recovering from battle with flashy resilience as his signature wolf imagery peaks through the shadows.
Of the song and video, Aurora Anthony says, ““Cartier” is a vibe, it’s like the song that could start a playlist at any function. People have been telling me I’m too humble and it’s time to turn up. So “Cartier” is kinda my answer to that criticism like “OK lemme talk my shit then.” I’m always focused on what’s next so it was fun for me to take a sec and flex a lil on how far I’ve come and the fly life I get to live. The video is meant to show that uphill climb. It’s part of a longer short film where I get beat the fuck up – literally, I fought a boxer in the basement of an old building. The whole visual is minimal on purpose – black and white, and no-drip for once, ha, just me in an undershirt and jeans. I wanted people to hear my words, focus on the way the song makes them feel. No frills kinda thing. Raw. Me.”
This is the Lower East Side native’s first release in partnership with Heavy Sounds Lab founded by Atlanta-based music veteran Jason Geter, who is behind “Grand Hustle” and remarkably credited for discovering T.I. and Travis Scott. It arrives on the heels of his 3-song sampler Do ‘Em Dirty released in 2020.
Stay tuned for more new music to come on Aurora Anthony’s forthcoming debut album. For now catch a dose of his flex-worthy lifestyle with “Cartier.”
Asian-American rappers Star2, ChinaTownRunner, and $tupid Young release the new single / video entitled “FWM”. The single precedes Star2 and ChinaTownRunner’s upcoming EP and sets the bar high with haunting cavernous beats and dark melodic flow.
Each of them affirm that they are “about money” in their separate verses and all ask listeners to “come and F*** With Me.” The music video for “FWM” captures Star2, ChinaTownRunner, and $tupid Young in a graffiti-stroked garage full of sports cars and women. Leaning into the sheer magnitude of the track itself, the visuals for “FWM” zero in on each rapper for an intense performance.
Star2 and ChinaTownRunner are preparing to embark on a summer tour with $tupid Young set to appear at multiple dates. Additionally, Star2 and ChinaTownRunner will perform on July 6th in support of the annual Ka-ren Soccer Tournament and Concert in South Dakota.
Star2 is a refugee artist from the Mae La refugee camp in Thailand. Star2’s documentary, RETURN TO KAWTHOOLEI: A Refugee Rapper’s Journey to His Homeland in Burma will be screened at the New Media Film Festival in LA on June 6th. So far, the documentary has been awarded with “Best Short Documentary” at the Malaysian Film Festival, “Best Documentary” at the Busan New Wave Short Film Festival in S. Korea, “Best Web and Media” at the IndieX Film Fest in LA, and “Exceptional Merit in Docu-drama Short & Human Spirit” at the Documentaries Without Borders Film Festival. Star2 returns to Thailand in May for his second trip.
