@JesseBooneIV Releases “When I’m Gone”
If home is where the heart is, then Jesse Boone’s permanent residence lies in the smile creases of his community. With a legacy that is housed in the laughter of his neighbors and the infinitely welcoming doorstep of a childhood home, the premise is set for his new song ‘When I’m Gone’; the composition from the Portsmouth, Virginia rapper is saturated with warm lyrical reflections. Sunset tones and autumnal breakdowns in the music video match the focus of his lyrics. ‘When I’m Gone’ is an ode to the cycles of living, along with the desire for purpose and conscious presence. It highlights the seasonal transitions of life between starting afresh, passing through and the moments of significance that tie it all together.
“The combination of loss in my own life and getting older- and hopefully wiser- helps me recognize the significance of my own borrowed time. Long story short, I’m just tryna be a good steward of what time I got left, to get the most out of it.”
– Jesse Boone
‘When I’m Gone’ is intimate; with lyrics that have story behind them, just like the cheeky smiles of adopted siblings that feature in his music video. Jesse is aware that “the process of making this song is the process of making most of ‘em. I pull the beat up and let how I feel speak for me in the ways I know how.” Jesse’s lyrical flow wonders where ‘his spirit’s gonna roam’, with the honey sweet wish to ‘just wanna make sure they know
me when I’m gone.’ It’s a track that weaves the feeling of southern hospitality through the sentiment of word. One that serves to emit an atmosphere and mentality Jesse was raised on, a space where home roots are extended to all those needing such.
Jesse Boone works as an extension of this foundation, providing inclusivity at a familial, sonic and lyrical level.
Reminding us of the artist he truly is, a wordsmith that is able to create music that holds, soothes and awakens you. Home and connection, in soundscape form.

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.
