Pooh Shiesty & Asian Doll Join @ActionPack_AP On His “Exit 8 Baby” Mixtape
In 19 years, rapper Action Pack (f/k/a Action Pack Gucci) has witnessed more than some do in a lifetime. Dubbed “Action Pack” by the streets, the Memphis upstart is known for living a fast-paced life, and not just rapping about it. After suffering through major losses, the youngster graduated to street life and began moving in circles that were anything but positive. He turned to local legends like Yo Gotti and Moneybagg Yo for guidance since their success fueled his aspirations for Hip Hop stardom. In early 2017, Action Pack dropped the buzz-worthy track “Influenced” which racked up thousands of YouTube views and gained major traction within the local Memphis circuit. The follow-up mixtape caught the attention of Yo Gotti’s team and the newcomer was off to the races.
Over the years, Action Pack’s momentum has grown to massive heights with a slew of favorable releases featuring the likes of NLE Choppa, Moneybagg Yo, Pooh Shiesty, and more. The work displayed Action Pack’s upward progression, bringing a fresh take on rap as he delivers both gritty and bouncy tracks that not only maintain the integrity of Southern skewed street rap but elevate it to the next level. Now with the fourth quarter of 2021 in full swing, he now releases his eagerly-awaited mixtape, Exit 8 Baby. The project, which features Pooh Shiesty, Big 30, and Asian Doll, finds Action Pack using his past hardships and lessons as stepping stones to triumphs, making optimistic raps filled with high energy and his signature flair.
Speaking on the project, Action Pack excitingly shares, “Coming from Memphis, sometimes you gotta do a little dirt to make sh*t work! Personal songs take a little more time to record, coming from Memphis I’ve lost a lot of friends and seen a lot of things. I had to bring my heart and soul to the recording studio. I want my fans to feel where I’m coming from.” Stream the Exit 8 Baby in it’s entirety here.
Star2 x Sprite x Luh Kel release the new single and video “Where Would You Go?”. The song taps into the frustration of questioning someone’s loyalty to you. The verses seamlessly shift between English and Thai in a vibrant fusion of R&B-infused melodic hip hop that is both poignant and powerful.
“Where Would You Go?” was filmed at Wat Saket (The Golden Mount), which is a significant ancient Buddhist temple in Bangkok where monks live and pray. Many scenes took place in the cave on the property that displays a large replica of the towering 33 ft. “Bamiyan Buddha” from central Afghanistan that was destroyed by the Taliban in 2001, and recreated to bring back the lost cultural heritage.
“Where Would You Go?” is from Star2’s forthcoming EP, No Place Like Home, which is set to drop on May 9th.
Argentine singer Jazmín Sparta and producer Tito Lopez present leaked notes <3, an eight-track R&B album entirely in English.

Tito, a 29-year-old composer, producer, and guitarist from Viedma, has worked with AfroSound Choir and various Argentine artists while composing for audiovisual projects like Discovery Channel.
