Wakeley. Wakeley is not the only one who is aware of Star Easy’s talent level, apparently his buzz has the whole southeast anticipating his solo release. Star Easy’s humble beginnings are deeply rooted in the small sedated town of Waycross, GA, where he is known to many as Marshard “Shard†McKnight. Before becoming known for his surreal lyrics Star Easy’s reputation preceded him as one of the top quarterbacks in the state of Georgia which earned him a full football scholarship to the University of Rhode Island. While making serious moves in the sports arena, Star Easy also diligently wrote rhymes that earned him several spots on the hottest mixtapes in his local area. This was his way to ensure that he kept his musical passion alive while still being an athlete. Mostly recognized for his intense voice and charismatic swagger, Star Easy soon became known by his hometown as the heart of the community. He often rapped about their struggles and joys as well as his own. Talent and drive got Star Easy where money could not. In 2001 the football star departed from his scholarship to prove to himself that he could take his music career to another stratosphere. Already apart of a collaboration of young talent from his hometown, Star Easy and close friends Palay, Killa, and Big Smoove exclusively became known as the South East Georgia Boys or The S.E.GA Boys. Earthwake Entertainment signed the S.E.GA Boys and together they rocked towns across Georgia, Florida, and Alabama with soulful soundtracks that people played their everyday lives to. The release of their first album in 2002 entitled “It’s a New Day†gained radio attention from Waycross Ga. down to Jacksonville Fl., However it was their second album Business Bout Ya Self that won the group the 2006 Best Indie Rap Album of the Year award at the Southern Entertainment Awards (SEAs). The year 2006 opened up many doors for everyone involved in the S.E.GA movement. For Star Easy it was the year to showcase his many facets as a true artist. His ability to write hit songs gained him widespread notoriety being that he wrote many of the groups’ hottest songs on the first and second album including the hit song “Georgiaâ€. The versatility that Star Easy seamlessly laid on each track along with his slick word play certainly moved records out of car trunks and major retail stores just the same. It is no surprise that Star Easy and manager C. Wakeley, with the full support of the S.E.GA Boys, have decided to launch Star Easy as a solo artist. Though Star Easy’s introduction into the music industry has been impressive thus far, he still remains bound by the G-code- refusing to let money or fame make him transparent. Star Easy explains, “This journey isn’t just about me, it’s a war for my entire hometown. Now that all the weight is on my shoulders I have to stand up because haters expect the worst. I want those that follow in my footsteps to know that it’s never just one way to achieve success and I will definitely be a S.E.GA Boy for life cause I love them and I am so grateful for them supporting this move.†With the support of southeast Georgia and the rest of the region, Star Easy is steady on his journey to portray life as vividly and charismatically through his music, as only he knows how. Being a star might not be easy but Star Easy definitely plans to be the next big one out of the South."I Deal With Successfull Niggaz Who Aint Scared Of Pain" - Star Easy
