Becoming a successful artist in the music industry is quite a daunting task and with all difficult journeys, it takes a group effort and chance encounters. Such was the case with superstar Cardi B. Already a talent in her own right, Cardi’s musical strengths blossomed when she collaborated with one of her close friends, Cashflow Harlem. An artist who helped expand her visibility from a musical standpoint. Rewind back to the summer of 2015 and a rising artist by the name of Cashflow Harlem his meteoric rise in the digital space with a series of freestyles in his car. The clips became viral sensations and each weekly freestyle garnered views in the millions, thus making Cashflow Harlem a household name in Hip-Hop circles. Enter Cardi B and “Ladies vs Thots,” a freestyle-turned-song with accompanying visual starring Cardi B as both lady and thot. The video was an instant hit and put Cashflow on the road performing throughout the USA and abroad. The video has 30 million YouTube views to date.

In terms of digital notoriety, Cashflow Harlem and Cardi B were parallel at the time, leading Cardi to release her debut mixtape “Gangsta B*tch Music Vol. 1,” which featured Cashflow. In the summer of 2016, Cardi B financed her own tour, “The Underestimated Tour,” and again included her friend Cashflow Harlem on the journey. Towards the end of the tour, Cashflow began experiencing unbearable soreness in his throat and ultimately decided to visit a doctor. “Cancer of the throat” were the words that were uttered. Shock and disbelief were the initial reactions but a proactive approach was needed right away. The option was to have surgery and immediately remove the cancerous tumor in his throat.

The risk was the uncertainty of how deep the doctors would have to cut during surgery and possibly losing his voice altogether or radiation treatment and keeping his voice but in an unknown capacity. Following 18 months of radiation treatment in a very delicate area of the body and working his way back to even speaking again, let alone regaining his rap voice, Cashflow Harlem is ready to give his project “Voice of Reason,” a boost with the release of the lead single “Survivor.” The record methodically articulates the pains of overcoming cancer and is more than a courageous salute to himself but to all those going through a battle of a lifetime.

Asian-American pop meets hip-hop artist Star2 releases the new single and video for “Just Like Them Waterfalls”. Inspired by a magnetic connection that unfolds over the backdrop of an exotic island soundscape, Star2 will sweep you off your feet with his romantic escape.

Over lush cascades of pizzicato strings, melodic strokes of percussion, and an enchanting vocal, Star2 muses on a budding flirtation. The song’s silky guitars and drum beats echo with island rhythms, immersing the listener in an reggae infused island melody. The strings punctuate and elevate the chorus, conjuring images of hula dancers, swaying palms, and the soft, sweet air of the tropics. Enhanced by soundscapes of cascading water, exotic birds, and a vocoder that harmonizes with the chorus while bringing an electronic vibe to the track, “Just Like Them Waterfalls” immerses the ear in the wilds of romance.

The accompanying music video is drenched with lush imagery as Star2 and his love interest explore luxurious palazzos before taking a dive into a serene waterfall. Their journey is framed by the motif of flowing water, the camera highlighting the parallels in their free-flowing and playful connection. “I love the islands – my fantasy getaway! This song is a romantic vibe to get us through the fall and dream of a dope vacation with a beautiful girl, sipping drinks, and enjoying paradise,” adds Star2.

Star2 was born in a Thai refugee camp and lends his identity to the music he makes. With millions of streams and impressive collaborations, he has performed amongst the likes of Soulja Boy, $tupid Young, Mozzy, MBNel, Luh Kel, Lil Poppa, HoodTrophy Bino, YSN Flow, and MarMar Oso to name a few. “Just Like Them Waterfalls” is the second single from his upcoming pop album Shooting Stars, due early next year.
