Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

With her debut album on the way, the young eapper STAR SKY KATZ has joined forces with famed Brooklyn teens UNLOCKING THE TRUTH who also made waves at an early age performing everywhere from Coachella to The Vans Warped Tour and opening for the Likes of Guns N’ Roses and Motorhead.

When it comes to crossing genre lines from hard rock and heavy metal to rap and hip-hop, plenty of bands have made successful crossover hits from Jay Z and Linkin Park to Public enemy and Anthrax. But in recent years as some of these iconic collaborations have fallen to the wayside, a new era of fresh rhyming, hard-hitting, head-banging power has risen from those ashes….coming from young stars who have already seen their share of fame: rapper Sky Katz and metal band Unlocking the Truth. And their new single “Rockstar” is sure to leave fans of genre-bending with a whole new level of appreciation!

With the teen years being most closely associated with growing, learning, and coming into one’s own while breaking through boundaries, Sky and UTT have certainly already accomplished these feats in leaps and bounds not only in their personal lives but in their incredible journeys as young musicians. Adding to these enormous feats is their effort to merge two genre’s often seen as opposing, and bring an incredible amount of diversity both musically and culturally.

“Rockstar” encapsulates the hard-hitting, in-your-face elements of metal and hip-hop that have made both genres incredibly popular and successful since their origins began with attitude, speed, and a fierce message. In it, over heavy riffs and an intense rhythm section, Katz raps “Which one of y’all done called my name, fresh on the scene with the ball and chain // A hundred MC’s and they all the same, so Sky turned Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” with a tough grit not usually reserved for her 12-year-old stature, continuing “I might roll through the city in a big ol’ truck, four big wheels and a grill up front // Pull up to the show all you see is us, if we ever had beef man I wish ya luck”. The song heightens with Sky and UTT’s Malcolm Brickhouse belting refrain “I got rock and roll it’s all in my soul with the real hip hop that’s ‘bout to explode, if you hear them shots cops on patrol that’s me, turning to a Rockstar!” in a fervid mix of volition that could easily be seen as a theme for extreme sports or the toughest cage-match brawl.

With “Rockstar” Sky Katz & Unlocking The Truth bring a whole new element to the Hip-Hop/Metal crossover with not only a youthful exuberance but a new breath of life that is sure to bring a younger generation who may be accustomed either genre to look more deeply and discover something new!
