Chicago’s drill scene is witnessing the rise of a new star, and her name is STAR BANDZ. At just 16 years old, this drill femcee is showing the world that age is just a number when it comes to spitting bars. STAR BANDZ started making waves back in 2022 when she launched her career at only 14 years old. Since then, she’s been racking up millions of streams, and one of the key tracks responsible for her rise is the viral hit, “Yea Yea.”
Released in March 2024, “Yea Yea” showcased STAR BANDZ’s undeniable talent—fast flows, high-energy delivery, and lyrics that demand attention. While the track does have some mixing issues (especially in the vocals), the raw energy and passion behind it is what really hooked listeners. It’s clear this young artist isn’t playing around, and the buzz surrounding her has only grown since the release. Big names like Chance the Rapper, Kehlani, and G Herbo have all been showing love, and now STAR BANDZ has added another major name to her growing list of fans: Detroit’s Veeze.
The remix of “Yea Yea” featuring Veeze is here, and it doesn’t disappoint. Veeze adds his signature style to the track with a solid verse that complements STAR BANDZ’s animated delivery. The remix keeps all the energy and excitement of the original while adding that extra punch with Veeze’s smooth flow. This collab is definitely one of STAR BANDZ’s biggest moments so far, and it’s only the beginning for this rising star.
This year has already been packed with highlights for STAR BANDZ, including opening for Luh Tyler’s Mr. Skii tour. But with the release of this remix, she’s proving she’s ready to take things to the next level. As her fanbase grows and her sound evolves, it’s clear that STAR BANDZ is on the fast track to becoming one of Chicago’s top drill artists.
What’s Next for STAR BANDZ?
STAR BANDZ’s career is just getting started, and there’s no telling how far she’ll go. With a growing fanbase, a strong catalog of music, and support from big names in the game, she’s got all the tools to make a lasting impact on the drill scene. Keep an eye on this young artist, because she’s about to take over.
