Kayebands Takes Center Stage In “Benz Truck” Visual
Bay area rapper Kayebands is geared up in his latest track “Benz Truck,” featuring Avenue Swift. Inspired by a fast-money lifestyle and G63s, this song is the perfect kick-off for 2022. The accompanying music video brings the vision to life as the two artists are living lavishly, including mansion views, women in their arms, and, of course, Mercedes Benz trucks on full display. As Kayebands gets ready for his upcoming 12-track project dropping later this year, the rising talent plans to keep the momentum rolling with “Benz Truck” by using it as a song to motivate those who listen.
“This song is all about staying on your hustle and creating your own path,” explained Kayebands. “If you apply effort and consistency into your craft, it will reward you.”
Kayebands is an artist with a remarkable sound. The rapper’s smooth flow and clever wordplay are infectious within his catchy hooks and head-bobbing rhymes. Kayebands’ experience with music engineering gave him the advantage of placing positive energy into the overall production of his music, distributing high frequencies within every project he creates.
“I am passionate about my music simply because I understand the impact music has on everyone and everything. Not only does music help individuals, but it heals and gives a source of comfort,” continued Kayebands.
With inspiration from J Dilla, Mf Doom, D-Savage, Dom Kennedy, Nipsey Hustle, Lucki, and RBL Posse, there is no question that Kayebands is learning from his idols and creating his lane into the rap game.
“Being raised in the Bay Area surrounded by the “jerk movement” and “hyphy scene,” I realized I had a place in this industry. This surrounding is what ultimately inspired me as an artist to dedicate myself into a music career and create a different sound and lane.”
Fans are anticipating a fantastic year for Kayebands. As he is a forward thinker who possesses the creative talent to match, there is no doubt that his perseverance and consistency will take him far in music.
“The most important message I want my fans to take from this song is to believe in yourself! Do not believe in everything you hear and do your due diligence on the information fed to you and never give up.”
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.
