Blaqstarr | Gangsta | Blaq-Files
The Blaq-Files is out on 1/23 on Jeffree's / Mad Decent!
Blaqstarr is back! Prep yourself for the release of The Blaq-Files with an early free download of a Blaqstarr classic, "Gangsta!"
We've dusted off 4 of the heaviest unreleased tracks from the Supastarr era here and brought them into the light with brand new mixing and mastering. You might have come across these over the years but these new versions are super crisp and loud, doing justice to four classic tracks that were previously only available as low quality mp3s. Lose your mind all over again with "Hands Up Thumbs Down", "Lemme Hump You", "I Can Feel It In The Air" and "Slide To The Left."
