Kenn Starr Keeps the Rawkus Era Alive

Remember when you used to cop everything with a Rawkus Records logo on it? Every MC came correct and the underground was bubblin with talent. Well, the record label has long since been eaten up by the majors, but the sound and feel that the era represented is being kept alive by a stable of underground talent that you may or may not have heard of. A good place to start exploring the new era of MC talent out there is with the release of Kenn Starr’s debut LP, Starr Status. Starr Status features features guest appearances by Talib Kweli, Supastition, Asheru, Median, Oddisee, Kev Brown, Darien Brockington and more, as well as outstanding production from Illmind, Khrysis, Oddisee, Kev Brown, and DJ Roddy Rod. The album is in stores now.
