Star2 just released his highly anticipated single “Want To Know” ft. Young Henny and Young Bless. The new single pairs an emotive, sun-soaked acoustic guitar riff with snappy 808s, blending polished pop-R&B with melodic rap. Star2, Young Henny, and Young Bless trade Ka-ren and English verses with chemistry, while lyrics about lingering intimacy and nostalgic check-ins, including the recurring line “how you doing, how you been?” give the track its emotional pull. The accompanying pastel-toned studio visual reinforces that balance, pairing understated staging with a sleek aesthetic that captures the song’s mix of modern vulnerability and laid-back rhythm.
Born in a Thai refugee camp and raised in the Ka-ren community, Star2 has forged a global career that bridges cultures and genres. His collaborations include artists such as Soulja Boy, Mozzy, Luh Kel, and HoodTrophy Bino. Building on that momentum, he is currently developing new music with Sprite and $tupid Young, while also collaborating with Young Henny on their new project this summer.
Star2 began his life in a Thai refugee camp where he was forced to flee genocide from the Burmese army in Myanmar who burned his village to the ground. A lottery in the camp brought him to San Diego with his grandmother and her four children, where he began a new life. Under the mentorship of esteemed producer Chico Bennett, his collaborations with acclaimed rappers include Soulja Boy, $tupid Young, Mozzy, MBNel, Luh Kel, Lil Poppa, HoodTrophy Bino, YSN Flow, and MarMar Oso to name a few.
While not on tour, he documents his journey in the popular ‘Adventures of Star2’ series on YouTube. As an influential figure in Asian-American music, Star2 entwines heartfelt stories with captivating visuals, chronicling a tale of resilience and ascent. Esteemed platforms like Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam, GQ, HotNewHipHop, Ones to Watch, BET, and Lyrical Lemonade, among others, have celebrated his contributions.
