"Music Mondays"- I SWEAR 2 God by Allstarr Da Great

Rapper Aswan Minatee, better known as Allstarr, was born in Newark, NJ. Growing up in such a challenging neighborhood where many youths fall short of success, Allstarr kept busy playing the sport he loved, basketball! He played for the nationally ranked basketball team of St. Benedicts Prep. Letting the streets take over his image of positivity, Allstarr lost his Division 1 scholarship. “I got serious with rapping my senior year in the high because I was slick with the words and after not making the best decisions I had to go to Trinity Valley in Texas while my friends where going to big name schools.” says Allstarr as he recounts his basketball days.

Soon after that he decided to make a move down south. Several times a week he would take a 2 hour trip to Dallas, Texas to work with G Music Group. He worked in the same studio with artist such as Erykah Badu, Slim Thug and many more. He promoted his music through Internet sources on popular websites and was featured on MTV’s Bubbling Under the Radar for “My Jealousy." On the website HipHopGame.com, his song titled "My Jealousy" was one of the top played songs in history! His best move yet would be his trip back to NJ. “I recorded Snap, Snap, Snap back in NJ, I just asked the engineer what do you do when you’re snapping? And I just had fun with the beat." From this foot forward, he has been nothing but on the rise and on his grind.
