about us

Starkingz is a duo that straddles the line between a wide range of styles. The pair’s music combines the edge of electronic music with the punch of hip-hop, finding the perfect balance between these different styles and making for a truly unique formula. The pair consists of Apaulo8 (Tucson, AZ / San Diego, CA) as well as Locness from San Diego, CA. Their chemistry is undeniable, and they actually came up with a truly distinctive way of mixing old-school hip-hop influences with innovative electronic sounds.


They allowed the aesthetics of rap to blend in seamlessly with the impact of modern Break-Beat sounds and other electronic styles in order to reignite some creativity in the world of contemporary hip-hop. In addition to the punchy and energetic beats, they value the power of great hooks and melodies. For this reason, their songs are appealing on a much broader scope. More importantly, this partnership is all about self-expression and the willingness to bring a positive and truly inclusive environment to the audience.


Their music is a safe space for people to let go of anxiety and fully express themselves without any compromise whatsoever. Unsurprisingly, they are attracting a lot of attention, and they even have had the opportunity to perform with some of the best rappers on the scene, including Nas, Outkast. Wu Tang Clan, KRS-ONE,Twista, G-Love, Madchild, Tone Loc, Suga Free, Slightly Stoopid and many more
