[Video] Mr HUBB featuring The HUBB Stars, Sir Chad Thorne & Eboni Marie – “Letter To 45”

In these very turbulent times the pressing question for creators involves whether their art will be used to build or destroy. One determined man, Al-Tariq Best, is using his art and his voice to build rather than destroy. Without a clear purpose life is motion without meaning and activity without direction. Al-Tariq Best lives life with intention, conviction and purpose. Mr. Best is the founder of The award winning foundation named The HUBB Arts & Trauma Center. HUBB stands for “Help Us Become Better.” The HUBB utilizes music as a therapeutic intervention to entertain, educate and empower youth and their families to heal from trauma and become triumphant over victimization.
Hip Hop is life, power, and expression. Hip Hop transcends race, class and cultures. It has been the voice for those who have been marginalized and oppressed. Al-Tariq “Mr. HUBB” Best is the embodiment of true Hip Hop. He has decided to do something positive for the people of his hometown of Newark, NJ and take it back to a time when artists were not just performing in the community, but also working with the community. Mr. Best has assembled a crew of super talented youth known as The HUBB Stars to join him on this journey. The mission of the group is to promote LIFE: Love, Inspiration, Forgiveness and Encouragement.
The HUBB Stars group members include ElyJah, Joy, Khamiyah and Tazyar featuring Sir Chad Thorne and Eboni Marie. The HUBB Stars are dedicated to feeding the hungry, and uplifting the spirits of others via charity work. But, music is their passion. The group has a work ethic that is unmatched. Their music is a refreshing departure from the cookie cutter playlist of songs currently in rotation on the commercial radio airwaves. The HUBB stars offer something more authentic and real. The dynamic wordsmiths create compositions utilizing true craftsmanship, whereby careful thought is put into each line and melody.
The HUBB Stars’ unique selling proposition includes the fact that they’re not afraid to use their voices to speak truth to power. Their latest hit songs are “Letter To 45” and “8Mins46Secs.” The song “Letter to 45” is a blistering indictment of the 45th president in terms of his actions, which have divided the country. Moreover, “8Mins46Secs” addresses police brutality in light of the George Floyd murder. Both songs deal with the trauma the Black community has experienced as a result of centuries of systemic racism in America. The tracks resurrect the spirit of pride and revolution in the essence of such music icons as 2Pac, Marvin Gaye and Bob Marley. Equally important, the visual for “Letter To 45” is powerful, vibrant and soul piercing.

Jonathan Hamm wants us to Stand With Our Immigrants!!!! @nobodyknowbighamm
Jonathan Hamm is a former NFL, #1 ranked USA Boxing Champion and Hollywood actor (Big Fan), discusses social justice and unity amongst African Americans and Hispanics during this political climate. Big Hamm’s TikTok is a motivational mix of women empowerment, philosophy and down to earth politics with his southern heavy Atlanta accent.
BigHamm stated in an interview with WelshDaGod that, “Growing up in a family of Freemasons, I was born to be of service to the people. My grandmother was the Grand Matron of Georgia and my mother was the Head of Education of Freemasons Order of The Eastern Stars”(BigHamm). His parents were taught to live a life of service by his late great grandmother Gracie Mae Smith who would spend her last dollar feeding random people of need in the streets of Atlanta. Big Hamm’s grandfather John Bell is a 33rd degree Freemason and he served on S.N.C.C (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) with Atlanta greats, Martin Luther King, John Lewis, Ralph David Abernathy and Andrew Young.

(Video) Star2 x Sprite – “One Of A Kind”
Step into the cinematic world of “One Of A Kind”, a gripping secret agent story brought to life by pop-rap innovator Star2 and Thai superstar SPRITE.The music video follows SPRITE and Star2 as they take on the roles of stealthy operatives hired by a rich businessman to free his kidnapped daughter from shadowy captors. Dressed in tactical ninja attire that fuses street style with spycraft, they engage in a high stakes mission to track down their targets and bring the daughter to safety. Their daring escape unfolds on a longboat gliding through Bangkok’s iconic Chao Phraya River. SPRITE displays his rap talent and rapid-fire lyrics. Star2 complements him with his emotional delivery and trademark melodic style. Beyond the action packed visuals, their collaboration weaves a poignant narrative that reflects on shared struggles with poverty, early age responsibilities, and the challenges of rising to fame.
Star2, a fan of SPRITE, reached out to collaborate after releasing a single with Luh Kel called “I Wanna Get F’d Up” – coincidentally, SPRITE’s favorite artist since Luh Kel’s hit song “Wrong” – leading to an introduction and, as fate would have it, a collaboration in Thailand where the trio filmed “Where Would You Go?” (out on January 17, 2025), while Star2 and SPRITE also created “One of a Kind”.
