LUCKI Reinvents A Mafioso Classic In “GOODFELLAS” Video
With a devoted fanbase and cemented underground icon status, LUCKI is a singular talent that has been enjoying the most successful year in his nearly decade long career. After making his first top 15 debut on the Billboard 200 with FLAWLESS LIKE ME earlier this fall, LUCKI is back with a new video for “GOODFELLAS.” Featuring spaced out, low-key production from New York producer-rapper, Cash Cobain, the track finds LUCKI laying down moody bars in his trademark, laidback cadence, making for one of the more emotional cuts from the project as he croons about a past romance: “Called me out the blue, you seen the news, you said it’s dangerous / Waitin’ on your apology, know you ain’t gettin’ that out of me.”
Directed by frequent collaborator, Lonewolf, the video for “GOODFELLAS” pays homage to Martin Scorsese’s 1990 seminal mafia classic of the same name. We find LUCKI mingling amidst wise guys as they drive out to the sticks to dispose of the opposition and count their bills. “GOODFELLAS” is a highlight from LUCKI’s latest project, FLAWLESS LIKE ME, which landed #12 debut on the Billboard 200 with over 25k sales-equivalent units in its first week, making it his most successful full-length release to date.
The first-ever LUCKI project to welcome featured artists–Future and Babyface Ray make guest appearance–FLAWLESS LIKE ME continues a busy year for the 26-year-old underground hero, marked by sold out shows, festival performances, and 350 million on-demand streams in 2022 alone. The new album arrives in the wake of a string of successful singles, most notably “SUPER URUS,” which generated over 16 million Spotify streams and 3.7 million YouTube views to date, and triumphant fan favorite “Y NOT?” (3.5 million YouTube views), while he connected with Internet Money for the woozy banger “2K In The Soda.” Both “SUPER URUS” and “Y NOT?” appear on FLAWLESS LIKE ME as bonus tracks.
With his new album making a splash and a legion of devoted fans awaiting his every move, it’s only a matter of time before LUCKI takes over the game.

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.
