DCG Brothers Celebrate Freedom in “Bond Hold” Video
Aiming to be the biggest duo out of Chicago, the DCG Brothers inject their magnetic personalities into everything they do. The teen rap duo, comprised of DCG Shun & DCG BSavv, prove they’re unlike anyone in the Chicago drill scene with their latest video single, “Bond Hold.” Over an ominously bouncy piano instrumental, the brothers deliver flex-heavy bars and snarling tough talk, emphasizing their cold-hearted ways and status in their city. Bsavv boasts: “I been the man, I feel like Soulja Boy in 2010,” to which Shun follows up: “I been runnin’ sh*t for real, I got my arm swole.”
In the No More Heroes-directed video, the brothers’ lavish lifestyle is on full display as they turn up everywhere from the club to the party to the show. Starting at a booming house party where the brothers show off their iced out chains and stacks of cash, the video demonstrates how far they’ve come, shining a spotlight on the packed-out crowd from the brothers’ hometown show at the Patio Theater.
Earlier this year, the DCG Brothers shared Jungle Life, an accomplished, 14-track mixtape that established the duo as one of the most exciting acts in their hometown. Home to the hit single “Stomp,” featuring Chicago legend G Herbo (1.8 million YouTube views), Jungle Life takes a raw, unfiltered look at the group’s home neighborhood, while showcasing the percolating chemistry that helped them escape their circumstances. “Growing up in a real jungle around savage and seeing crazy things, basically meeting different types of people and associating them with animals,” say the DCG BROTHERS. “RATS, SNAKES, GORILLAS, & EVERYDAY IT’S A SURVIVAL IN THE JUNGLE.” Featuring additional appearances from BIG30, B-Lovee, and frequent collaborator Msavv, Jungle Life has earned nearly 15 million streams since its release and it is available everywhere via No More Heroes/Atlantic Records.
With much more music, and plenty more creative videos, and with the backing of No More Heroes and Atlantic Records, there’s no limit to the heights the DCG BROTHERS will reach.

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.
