Straight Outa Shanghai,China.

Comment

Redstar is honored to be a part of the BOTY China 2008 soundtrack and represent real hip-hop (It's more than music... It's life!!) coming straight outta China with our track, "Who We Be". "Who We Be" is the perfect "East Meets West" tune with thumping NY style beats, slick French Accordions, and dope English and Chinese rhymes.
