Album DescriptionA combination of braggadocio and introspection, realism and imagination, wordplay and lyricism, all balanced out with a dash of humor. This is what best describes Kenn Starr, a self-proclaimed MC's emcee. Hailing from Virginia and currently residing in Maryland, Kenn Starr is looking to put Maryland along with the D.C. metro area on the map as a slept-on goldmine of talent. Since the release of his hit debut single "If" featuring Talib Kweli and Asheru (produced by Oddisee) b/w "Walk The Walk" (produced by Kev Brown) in 2004 on Halftooth Records, and following his recent stand-out performances and classic quotable verses on albums such as Halftooth Record?s You Don?t Know The Half, Wordsworth?s Mirror Music, Kev Brown?s I Do What I Do, The Foreign Exchange?s Connected, and Cesar Comanche?s The Squirrel And The Aces, the Hip-Hop community has been anxiously awaiting the debut solo album from Kenn Starr.

On You" and "Back At It Again," and now with the release of Starr Status, Kenn Starr is ready to officially cement his reputation as one of Hip-Hop?s most gifted and charismatic lyricists as well as one of its brightest stars.
