Stro Displays His “Aura” on New Track

Stro unleashes a new song called "Aura." The nearly four-minute track features production from Cassius G.

The 19-year-old Brooklyn MC spits, "Illest with the mic, yeah I been that shit/They try to keep me out the game, still I'm in that shit/I ain't surprised, you surprised, man I been had hits/We ain't them guys you despise, boy we been that clique/And seven days a week, I'm busy fuckin' with beats/I do not fuck with police, they want us dead in the streets/I heard they workin' for Satan, but God is coming be patient/My spirit's strong ain't no breaking."

He continues, "I be on some shit, which is why they can't get to me/Chick wit' me, call her Tiffany/We in Tiffany's, sike, I don't spend shit/if that's the case I seduce her, hit it then introduce her as my friend, shit/She wanna meet my mama, she must be smokin' wooha."

It's been a big year for the young New York artist. Stro recently signed a partnership with Monster Electronics, and he's playing the role of Lodis in the upcoming movie Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk.

In case you missed it, be sure to check out Stro's track "Happy Motha's Day," which dropped back in early May. In the touching tribute to his mother, Stro spits, "Happy Mother’s Day, happy Mother’s Day/I never go against what my mother say/Mother said now was gon happen like the other day/Without mother, yo, I couldn’t see another way/I done ran away from home like a few times/Mama done listen to a few rhymes/Then warned me about trouble with a few dimes/Mama’s the reason I don’t do crimes/Don’t let ’em hurt you, use to politic about curfew/Two jobs to work, you come home, I irk you/Since two, a minor argument that you sit through/The queen and the king, the shit’s true."
