Let me ask you this. Have you ever heard a new project that was so dope, you were at a loss for words? If not, let’s start today! Javier Starks!! Javier Starks…and again Javier Starks!!! Let me tell you, this is one of the BEST debuts I’ve heard in a very long time. This socially conscious, energetic, and moreover powerful lyricist unapologetically voices his concerns for equality, racial and fiscal disparity, among other relatable topics, over some of the tightest beats in his new release, “Indigo Child – “D”–Etty”. Each song on his EP contains verses woven so creatively within each of the old school hip hop tracks, that it would make one think Dilla is shining light down on Starks as if to say “that’s real ill kid.”
But who is Javier Starks you ask? Well, this talented brotha is based out of DC and is a youth advocate, teacher, and emcee who connects with youth utilizing curse-free, positive, non-degrading or ill influencing hip hop. You hear that, FAMILY FRIENDLY DOPE MUSIC PEOPLE!! Javier has been featured on: CNN, and has worked with Grammy Award winner Robert Glasper, Keyon Harrold, Daru Jones, and novelist extraordinaire , Michael Eric Dyson.

Inspired at a young age, music has always been a driving force in my life. Having been exposed to many genres and events centered around music, I wanted this series to bring the human aspect of the artist to the music that we love.
