As the Canadian Hip Hop circuit explores international recognition, it continues to be propelled by a series of very distinct yet consciously motivated underground artists. Hip Hop’s globalization in the early 2000s saw a new transition for many who hailed from places where a hard knock life creates raw talent. From Vancouver to Montreal, to Halifax to Edmonton to Ottawa and Toronto in North America, a new breed of underground artists has risen to steep challenges that often seclude that same ever so underrated batch from the exposure they deserve.
Starks soon accumulated up to 22 months of jail time based on an alleged gun related charge and other related issues before embarking on a full time Hip Hop career…”
Part of this challenge stems from being misunderstood in a rat – race where a distinction between art and reality is deliberately seldom. The recipe for success has intertwined with the same limits that have hindered but yet developed a creed where the Caribbean and Canadian origins mix with mainstream Hip Hop influences to deliver some of the best from the north. Infamous Starks of the “WYLD BOYZ” is one such artist who has stormed out of the notorious projects of Jane and Finch in Toronto, Canada. The Jane and Finch area is one of Toronto’s prominent urban societies where poverty had driven many of its indigents into a life delimited by crime.

Starks soon accumulated up to 22 months of jail time based on an alleged gun-related charge and other related issues before embarking on a full-time Hip Hop career. He has picked up the microphone in an attempt to voice out his aggravation so that fans who understand this type of pain can relate to his struggle and eventually buy his records.
