If STAR BANDZ has not crossed your radar yet, this release might be the one that sparks your interest in her wider body of work. The teenage rapper out of Chicago has built a dedicated fanbase drawn to her bold lyricism and sharp, forceful delivery. Despite still being early in her career, she has already shown an impressive range. Drill comes naturally to her, but she is just as comfortable finding melody, as heard on Sugarhill Ddot’s “My Baby.” That flexibility carries over to her own track “Touch The Ground,” a festive themed release that features Chance the Rapper. Beneath its warm and playful sound, the song hides clever wordplay that blends holiday imagery with her harder edge. Lines like “Would've thought I was a red nose way I rolled off / On sight, red button on the back of Gen5” show how she balances sweetness with menace in a way that feels effortless and self assured.
