A
combination of braggadocio and introspection, realism and imagination,
wordplay and lyricism, all balanced out by a dash of humor. This is
what best describes Kenn Starr, a self-proclaimed MC's emcee.
This Suffolk, Virginia native penned his first rhyme at the age of ten
and hasn't stopped since. He credits his versatile style to his
exposure to hip-hop at an early age. Growing up listening to a wide
variety of hip-hop/rap music, his inspirations range from A Tribe Called Quest to the late TuPac Shakur,
but he credits many of rap's lesser-recognized lyricists as his biggest
influences. When asked what he feels he brings to the table, Starr
replies "A return to the essence of hip-hop, when it was about
head-nodding beats and thought-provoking lyrics. I'm looking to shift
the focus back on skills."
Currently residing in Fort Washington, Maryland, Starr maintains
that VA will "always be home", and is looking to put the state, as well
as the D.C.-metropolitan area, on the map as a slept-on goldmine of
unsigned talent. He plans to do this with the help of his crew, Low Budget,
a talented collective of artists and producers whose common bond is
their love for hip-hop in particular, and music in general. The crew
consists of Oddisee, Cy Young, Kevin Brown, Critically Acclaimed, Sean Born, as well as many others.
When asked what he hopes to accomplish with his music, Starr
