It’s been about two years since Starker dropped his last project, USA. He’s been working with producer Golden Child during those two years on this magnum opus. The format is similar to a lot of classic Hip-Hop albums, sampling various old ads and obscure movies. They aimed to create an audio movie with Starker and Golden Child as the co-directors. The attitude and production may sound like classic boom bap but Starker makes sure that his lyrics will resonate with the younger generations as well.
