The number one question for Javier Starks? "Who Got Next?" With the radio stations curious and the streets talking (a result of his participation in 93.9 WKYS' Rock The Bells Contest) Javier took a moment to giftwrap this vehement response to his peer Kendrick Lamar's recent outburst heard on Big Sean's "Control". With his trademark countless double entendres Jav addresses: the state of the DMV, his view of his supposed "competition" and his CONCRETE place in Hip Hop history. In the age of wax gangsters and internet thugs who feel brave hiding behind keyboards it's THIS easy for Mr. Starks. "Control+Alt+DELETE."

Javier Starks "Ctrl+Alt+DELETE" Lyrics:

These rappers talk money but your whole circle broke that's a red ring of death
My name mentioned with yours? Yeah that scares me to death! Your music move me like a paraplegic at best, I don't feel you liars I'm BARELY impressed!

Well if los is the king then that makes jigga the emperor, I'm addressing these fools just consider this the enema, best remember I'm not your off brand rapper out the city! Half of these rappers is ACTORS fans clapping out of pity!

This is the city of mediocrity, where we excellent at overlooking excellence check it peep the philosophy.

The city's hottest rappers still where they started, they do not pass go it's the DMV Monopoly!

I park on their property then body'm properly, I'm part of a prophecy, nobody possibly stopping me!

Wise I'm smarter than Socrates the game I kill it gladly, like Milton Bradly I'm a boss lil daddy!

I CTRL+ALT+DELETE y'all, you a grain of sand on the beach boy, washed up like the sea shore!

I'll make a mockery of EACH of y'all, a lyrical bloodbath like you never seen make it a habit of having'm swearing they never seen Saw...

These fake rappers raps is like bad checks, what a spring board put a little bounce in my step, this what fiends want a battle to the death.. tween the best of the best, no question they stressed cause ima threat like the Marine Corps!

How you kill what's not real!? Ya bars ELEMENTARY to me dawg, don't make me Sandy Spring y'all! 0_0

Not one of you's comparable to me, my shoes don't fit you, that's #unbearable defeat!

Find a threat and bring'm to me, flow too dope I'll treat'm like Pookie. Turn his whole hood on'm like a Sunni...

You do not deserve this more than I do EVERY TIME THEY SAY "YOU HOTTER THAN JAV" YOU BEEN LIED TO!

You not worthy!
I play the game like ERVING!
You should retire your JERSEY!

You started hating when you heard me... you KNOW what it is BUT you don't know when to quit, like Herpes!

I rap circles around clowns, that's lethal lip service, the circuit observing superfluous SURROUND sound!

Don't compare me to wale, fattrel or shy glizzy I'm REAL, they eligible for Emmys

I ain't NEVER lied in a rhyme! Or told a false story in a interview they nothin to me I'm clutching my genitals!

They prolly never get it... I did it in a way that's never been done before - I spit like I'm ready for WAR - machete's & guns & swords - I'm bringin whatever you want & MORE!!

Hydrogen bombs this "Ether" like Nas verse/versus the hip hop GOD, MINUS the flaws! It's a WRAP! (Pun intended) "The Take Over" I'm feeling invincible - no competitor better - I find it ironic they going against a flow that's irresistible... Word to Cicero, I'm in #CONTROL.

CTRL+ALT+DELETE

"Stand your ground", a term we have become all too familiar with... On behalf of the countless young black males who have been thrown into the prison industrial complex, for those who have been robbed of their futures, for those who have been slain in cold blood. Javier is doing just that, fighting the powers that be. Shots across the bow, these are mere warnings, signs of what's to come. Following his HIGHLY praised response to Kendrick Lamar's "Control" verse, Javier's been preparing himself for home stretch. Switching to a hypnotic, dragging, heavy punchline based style Jav is surely rocking them to sleep. Details of his MASSIVE upcoming project will be released soon. Fans are anxious, the wait is almost over. Javier KNOW's he's one of the best and given the nature of his mission? He CANNOT afford to fail. Fans be prepared, foes be afraid. It's #LionSeason

Trayvon's Revenge Lyrics:

Nothing's "difficult", EVERYTHING's a "CHALLENGE"!! To ADVERSITIES! TO THE STARS! From the last plane, to the last bullet, to the last minute, to the last man we FIGHT! We Fight!! We FIGHT!! WE FIGHT!!! WE FIGHT!!!! WE FIGHT!!!!

oh, im CRUSHING YALL...

These bammas they know my name, these bammas they know my name, see I, handle my bi, (chyeah) my flow insane!!

On wax make the ladies get wavy, POMADE, bringing the heat, the king like lebron james...

Got a dream, staying scheming, they be doubting me... REFUSE to be the king laying there defeated on the balcony!

Bammas they need to chill, these bammas they need to chill, my flow is like candy rain , homie I'm so for real!! ohhhh nooooooooo =P

Your team starve I bet we eat, lames talking cds when they saying they moving that "heavy d" R.I.P.

Hood celebrities... BET DAT... Lyrically this is literally celebrity
Death match...

Hah, I took it back, I took it back, the slow flow like the carry out yo, I'll show you how to cook a rat...

For the cheese they say whatever, they show no loyalty, and birds be CRAZY, I call'm pollo loco, see I'm focused like I'm posed to be, potent like potpourri, don't take a telescope to see I'm coming yo your boy a BEAST!!

SMH... torn to pieces, these bammas get torn to pieces, they "hot"!? Well I handle the heat like a puerto rican!

I'm outchea, I'm the BEST out yeah, I don't care, I'm about to rub it in like Aloe Vera! I don't need to make a "top ten list", yes indeed, call a priest ANYone of'm dead meat if they testing me!

When it come to these rhymes boy? I'm a 10 out of 10 but I spit like 9 boy... I lay low in the envoy... these dudes jealous like women so I treat'm like tomboys!

...don't want it tho, these bammas don't want it tho, I suggest that they mind they manners amateurs I'm gonna blow!!

[Jazz scat vocals]

Beautiful Dreamer

Do you believe?
The world is yours
You can do anything
Anything

When the world turns ugly
You must think yourself beautiful
When the world makes you feel weak
You must be strong

Beautiful

Please don't give up

Beautiful

The world needs you
Please, please don't give up

Beautiful

Please stay

Beautiful

Keep pushing
Keep trying
Keep living
Keep thriving
You can do it

Beautiful

Hey dreamer
I believe in you
You can do anything
Said, you can do anything

Beautiful Dreamer

• Lyrics for "Alright Now"

[Javier Starks]
Jegna still on a search to find me, but only G.O.D. can provide me with I.D... confined to the drama you find in the streets, the crime and the poverty combined equal grief... who am I to judge? "Yo" I'm a lion amongst sheep trying to remain aligned with the meek, who shall inherit the earth in time we will see, who'll be the bearers of truth or the sign of the beast... we were designed to be free from earth to the heavens ground to the sky sky to the sea the cycle's extreme kids play with chalk, but the police use chalk lines for deceased. I wonder if its how its supposed to be, God honest, I can't tell a con artist from a priest. signs of the times signs in the east they can't hold me back the blood of the king has signed my release, I'm trying to find inner peace

I'm trying to find inner peace

Cain slew Abel (shheessh) its crazy, strange how strangers can come of best friends (yessir) connivers think they set to win... I get my second win get right i make moves they getting left again. I appreciate it, God keep stepping in, I stumble in his footprints trying to set precedents swear I'm headed to heaven after the day of reckoning I've never been a pessimist but stressing if they'll let him in...

I'm living life on the edge who said it was troublesome only a glutton for punishment would understand where I'm coming from. Realistically there's no tomorrow cause nothing's guaranteed striving for sanity through calamity know the horror. I know the odds of winning are slim but I pay'm no regard I'll win if it costs me everything I own I'll disown it all. everything has a purpose and everyday on the surface I carry the weight of the world and so my shoulders strong! They can't replace him on a song I claim my place among the stars my faith is awesome embracing greatness with Open arms

I love every second, life is beautiful. Life is beautiful I owe you God

Him being anybody who's living his messages... On earth I cherish life because they threaten it..

[Bella]
Grinding in the dust
Survival is a must

[Javier]
The truth's found in places I've never been...
And ignoring my ignorance is deadly as those seven sins

[Bella]
So
Show me, teach me, make me, mold me
Into an image brand new

[Javier]
The truth's found in places I've never been...
And ignoring my ignorance is deadly as those seven sins

[Bella]
I think you better
Show me, teach me, make me, mold me
Into an image brand new

[Javier]
I lift my hands up high, I lift my hands up high

[Bella]
Looking to the sun I see
A man who loves me openly
Despite my flaws and imperfections, he loves me for me

[Javier]
I lift my hands up high and give praise, give thanks, I'm happy to be living another day...

Special Thanks to Generation Bass & El Guero Unico for featuring "Freedom" on their Top 12 Albums Of 2012: 
http://generationbass.com/2012/12/28/el-guero-unicos-top-12-albums-of-2012/

Quote: Matthew Shell and Trey Eley are simply and profoundly incredible. ‘Freedom’ is perhaps the best album I’ve heard in years. I know if Miles Davis were still alive and was shown this album, he would be obsessed with it. I wish I had the ability to send it Prince’s way because I can safely bet that he would absolutely love it too. The musicianship I must reiterate is of the highest caliber. I can only dream of playing as well as any one of the musicians on this album. Not only is the music very powerful and beautiful, the people behind it are also wonderful, intelligent and very kind. I can and do honestly wish Matthew Shell and Trey Eley along with all their creative friends involved with ‘Freedom’ the best of luck and much future fortune. Let the music take you over with ‘Freedom’.
