Asian-American artist and Ka-ren refugee, Star2 releases the new EP Jungle 2 Streets. The six track project features artists $tupid Young, ChinaTownRunner, LerMuDex, and RG.

Jungle 2 Streets is biographical and spans the full experience of being a refugee child to an emerging pop-rap artist. "On the Block", "Weigh on Me" and "Tapped In" describe the street life experience of the artists. "FWM" with Asian rap pioneer $tupid Young is a club worthy anthem that leans in to the lavish and oftentimes, intense lifestyle, that comes with the territory, while "Onna Road" and "Spoil You" with Ka-ren pop artist LerMuDex completes the mosaic with romantically themed summer tracks. Star2 adds, “The album represents all of the seasons of our experience. Mixed emotions for sure – street songs, club, and romantic ballads.”

Star2 is a refugee artist from the Mae La refugee camp in Thailand. Star2's documentary, RETURN TO KAWTHOOLEI: A Refugee Rapper's Journey to His Homeland in Burma has been recognized by several film festivals this year, winning "Best Short Documentary" at the Malaysian Film Festival and "Outstanding Achievement Award, Short Films" at the Better Earth International Film Festival amongst many others. Recently, the documentary was selected to be screened at the International Migration & Environmental Film Festival.

Star2 and ChinaTownRunner will head back to Thailand this year to visit the nine refugee camps and work on new music with Sprite. Stay tuned for upcoming tour dates in Denver, Boise, Charlotte, Akron, Milwaukee, Fort Wayne, Tulsa and Dallas through late September.
