Kenn Starr & Kev Brown

Years back some friends and I made our way downtown Hamilton to see some promising artists from Virginia who went under the moniker of the Low Budget Crew. Primarily the likes of Kenn Starr and Rapper/Producer Kev Brown, who had gained much attention in the hip-hop community for collaborations with the likes of Asheru and Talib Kweli. True lyricists and masters of their craft, the put on a show that was pure bliss. Not having the opportunity to get any of their music for myself at the time was a big lose.

Thankfully this recently changed as I picked up Kev Browns Random Joints album and Kenn Stars mixtape album, The Starr Report, which features Starrs collaborations with other artists in their new hometown of Washington, DC. Taking it back to the music I used to enjoy years ago has always been a good time in my eyes and I hope you see what I mean with these samples. Maybe you'll go out and do the same! Keep your eyes open for new albums from Low Budget Crew and keep supporting the music you love and life for!
