Spotlight: @PhilthyRichFOD Owns @JODYHiGHROLLER On “Big Ballers”
When we listen to Riff Raff – which isn’t often, admittedly – we do so for a good laugh. He’s not a traditional lyricist by any means; he values shock and aesthetic versus crafting complex lines. And there’s nothing wrong with that at all, we do listen to Lil B. So while it may not be our particular cup of tea, we can see how people like his music and support him. In addition to rapping, he’s a likeable guy, plus he has an outrageous personality that’s just magnetic.
Riff Raff made one of the best moves he’s made in years. For his new song “Big Ballers,” he enlisted Philthy Rich and DollaBillGates to help ground his zaniness and expand his audience. The results?
WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!
That’s our reaction after playing Philthy’s verse initially. Over the outlandish extension of trap production that Raff so eloquently provides, Philthy lets loose with a swaggerful verse that practically screams “This is my song, go away now” to the other two artists. It’s, seriously, the centerpiece of the song, for good measure. Without it, “Big Ballers” would feel incomplete; Riff Raff is a little too crazy for the grounded (yet spacey) production to make sense of it. Philthy, once again, shows his ability to be the glue that binds the tracks together.
Check out “Big Ballers” below and fast forward to Philthy’s verse. You’re welcome.
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.
