Teenage by age, grown flexing by nature. It’s all eyes on STAR with her newest cinematic drop.
Chicago’s rising drill star STAR BANDZ returns with her new music video for “Really Rare,” the latest single from her debut project, Estrella, released just last month via Priority Records/Capitol Records. At only 16 years old, STAR BANDZ is already redefining the drill scene with her unique blend of sharp lyricism, clean delivery, and an unapologetically authentic perspective.
The music video for “Really Rare,” directed by Rare Smoke, adds a bold visual dimension to the track. Set against dynamic urban backdrops—complete with luxury vehicles and vibrant skateparks—the video captures STAR BANDZ’s self-assured presence and fearless approach to her craft. Rare Smoke’s direction amplifies the song’s energy, showcasing STAR BANDZ as a dynamic artist who balances youthful confidence with undeniable grit.
The single stands as a defining moment in her growing catalog, demonstrating her evolution as a storyteller. As part of the Estrella project, a 13-track mixtape featuring collaborations with Sugarhill Ddot, Luh Tyler, and previously released hits like “4 Deep” and the viral “Yea Yea” remix featuring Veeze, “Really Rare” continues to showcase STAR BANDZ’s depth and versatility.
STAR BANDZ’s rise has been nothing short of extraordinary. Her collaboration with Sugarhill Ddot on “My Baby” has surpassed 16 million views on YouTube, while her From The Block performance alongside Sugarhill Ddot has reached 4 million views. Recognized by Complex as one of the “13 Best Teenage Rappers Right Now,” she’s also received high-profile co-signs from artists like Lil Durk and Polo G. STAR BANDZ was also recently included in Pitchfork’s “Best 100 Songs of 2024” list. With “Really Rare” and her Estrella mixtape, STAR BANDZ continues to make her mark, bringing a fresh and fearless take to drill rap while inspiring a new generation of artists with more music to come in the new year.
