15), which they've made with more consideration - Starlito raps like his eyes are at half mast, or he's lying down, which makes his quick wit land even harder. On their followup - Step Brothers 2 (out Oct. Starlito has called the tape, which they made quickly with not many expectations, a "perfect accident." Their song " Pray for Me," in particular, is warm and bone-chilling at the same time - thoughtful trap. The acclaim for it, from critics and laypeople alike, opened a door wide enough for both rappers, who had been quietly respected as solo artists but languishing in record-label limbo - until 2010, Starlito had performed as All $tar, the name under which he made " Grey Goose," while Don Trip's " Letter to My Son" got him signed but not much else. Two years ago, they teamed up to make a mixtape called Step Brothers, named in honor of the Will Ferrell and John C. The real problem is I don't always know how to avoid it.Starlito and Don Trip hail from Tennessee, the former from Nashville and the latter from Memphis. Nothing to do with this mixtape, but if you got a problem with me, maybe it's something wrong with you. I'm just a young black man trying to defy the odds/statistics. I allow you to name your price for this, as all the proceeds will be put on his books, family, or however he wishes. My homie Red Dot inspired me alot over the last few years, so I'm hoping this project in turn can help him through the next few. This is for those of you that most enjoy it, and maybe even for those of you that hate it/me the most. I've reached that point before where your actions preceed thought.Anyway, I don't owe anybody any recordings, seeking management & perhaps distribution if I even want to do this anymore. There is no greater pressure than the pressure from within one's self. I'm drifting.Long story short, This WAR w/ myself" is another snapshot, or time-capsule even. I was FREE-spirited, and decided to release (FREE of charge) the music that I enjoyed, in spite of my Album "Starlito's Way 3" dropping a week later. I released that mixtape under the impression that I was no longer contractually obligated to any person/company/entity.
This mixtape, WAR w/ myself" is the follow-up to "Free Last". Speaking of release, THIS IS MY RELEASE.music. None of us are promised any of our time here, I pray I see age 34 and the release of my friends. Even at the 30% minimum, 7 and a half years is a long time. One of my best friends, and fellow group members (Trash Bag Gang) Red Dot was recently incarcerated and sentenced to 25 years.
I'm torn, both personally and professionally. I decided to channel my frustrations and use my energy creatively. As the title implies, I (Starlito) am at war with myself.
