After introducing himself in 2019 and receiving acclaim from the likes of Elevator Magazine and more, Tampa, FL-born, and Los Angeles-based rapper Rube Boyy releases his debut project No Silver Spoon via BeatStars Records.

Rube Boyy introduces the mixtape along with a music video for the album track “Reach For The Stars” directed by Kidd Fresh. The intimate clip follows Rube Boyy as he drops uplifting verses—“It’s the hustle. It’s the grind. It’s the God in me.”—over soft piano, claps, and a slick beat. He details his come-up, from a near-death experience during birth through rising above all manner of adversity as an adult. The melodic hook rings out with an empowering affirmation, “Told you that you never would make it at all, but you never listened, because you know that’s what you are, a true star.”

Ultimately, “Reach For The Stars” illuminates his storytelling, style, and swagger and paves the way for No Silver Spoon. The project notably features production from Nonno, Sixx Digits, Bigboytraks [Kash Doll, $uicideboy$, Sean Price, Waka Flocka, Lil B], and Ant Chamberlain [Toosii, Lil Durk, Mulatto].
