The artist that is Joker Starr believes UK Hip Hop lacks two essential ingredients – energy and personality. As he possesses boundless amounts of both qualities it is certainly with great anticipation that we accept a rising ‘Starr’ into the mix.Joker Starr is not just about witty one-liners and funny scenarios, but that said, it would undoubtedly be a lie to suggest that he wasn’t remarkably good at them. He effortlessly references past and present pop culture turning everyday icons on their heads and to his advantage; from Popeye and Spearmint gum, to R&B singer Jamelia, he pursues a no holds barred policy. Along with the trademark humour, Joker Starr’s music is often very concept driven. The conscious themes are not always obvious, in fact they often surprise emerging out of lyrics that appear to operate on a certain level but then with a deft twist are revealed to go much deeper. His music is never superficial, and often you have to think in 3-D to fully comprehend.
