Star2 x Young Henny - "Ring Ring" (Video)
Asian-American artists Star2 and Young Henny release a new single and video, “Ring Ring.” The melodic trap track spotlights the rising influence of Southeast Asian voices in hip-hop, fusing West Coast production with cultural elements inspired by the Ka-ren people. The bilingual nature of the song stems from Star2, who was born in a Thai refugee camp and is of Ka-ren descent, and who uses his verses to bridge his heritage with his American life. “Ring Ring” frames success through metaphor, using unanswered phone calls to symbolize the emotional tradeoffs that come with ambition. The music video features polished drone cinematography with a gritty, local-block feel, perfectly complementing the track's melodic trap energy.
Star2 continues to bring this perspective to his music, curating collaborations that feel both global and deeply personal. From working with acclaimed artists including Soulja Boy, Sprite, $tupid Young, Mozzy, MBNel, Luh Kel, Lil Poppa, HoodTrophy Bino, and YSN Flow, to carving out his own lane alongside fellow artists from his hometown in Thailand, he continues to bridge cultures while expanding the sound and visibility of a new generation.
